Is it time for a change?

Do you want MORE out of life?

... Success, Freedom, Balance, Happiness & Fun

Life's too short ... to be unhappy at work!

(or stuck in a career you've fallen out of love with)

Most of us dream of a different life where we are more: Successful, Independent & Happy ...
& If you can DREAM it, you can DO it!
Whether you want to take a step-up in your career, shift into a new role, completely reinvent yourself or have no idea what your ideal life & career look like yet ...
It's time to Empower your Life & Career with some Positive Change!

Let me introduce you to Alex...

(do they sound familiar?😎)

Alex is an experienced professional who’s poured her heart & soul into building a career she’s worked hard to achieve.

As a Senior Manager at a well-known company, she’s respected in her field & earns a good salary.
From the outside, her friends, family & colleagues would say she's “lucky, successful & has it all”

But the problem is … Alex HATES her job & feels STUCK!

Every morning, she drags herself out of bed & goes through the motions, getting dressed, walking the dog, sorting the kids out, sitting in traffic & spending all day in an office that feels like it’s sucking the life out of her.

She’s spent 15 years steadily climbing the career ladder, leading teams & achieving milestones that reflect her hard work, dedication & talent.

But inside? She feels stuck, stressed & heading for burnt-out!

Alex doesn’t feel aligned with what she’s doing anymore

Her work doesn’t feel meaningful or challenging

It doesn’t excite her, inspire her, or fulfill her

Instead, she finds herself wondering, Is this it? Is this what the rest of my life looks like?

Alex wants more from her life, but she’s scared of what change might mean...

She worries about how a career change might impact her family. Her daughter’s still at school, her son wants to go to Uni & there are 15 more years left on the mortgage
She feels stuck in her industry. Changing companies might keep her paycheck intact, but the work would still feel empty. It’d just be the same soul-sucking job in a different office & with a potentially worse boss
She’s scared to take a pay cut or risk it all on something uncertain, what if she’s not good enough to do something different
Deep down, she wonders if she's too old & it’s too late to make a big change

When Alex goes out for a wine with her friends, instead of the usual chit-chat about life, kids & peri-menopause, she always ends up bitching about her boss & how much she hates her job.

Her partner tells her to stop complaining. “If you hate it so much, find something new!” But that’s easier said than done.

Alex doesn’t know what she wants to do, or even what else she could do after so long in the same job
She’s lost confidence in herself after years making sure everyone else is happy - her boss, her family & even the dog!
She's lost sight of what she's good at & what's important to HER!
She’s scared of failing, scared of regret & scared of change because if she takes a step into the unknown, she might fall flat on her face
So, she stays where she is - STUCK!

Every Monday morning, when she sits at her desk, Alex feels something sink inside her.

She can’t imagine doing this for another 20 years & she knows, deep down, something has to change.

Alex is longing for a life & career that feel fulfilling, aligned & happy
She wants to leap out of bed every day with purpose & passion
She wants more freedom & flexibility to balance her life, family & career better
BUT she just doesn’t know where to start!

Don't Be Like Alex ... Stuck, Stressed & Scared!

This is where I come to the rescue 🤩

How this Program will help you totally Revamp your Life & Career

Get Clarity on who you are, what you're good at & what you really want in the next phase of your Life & Career!

Discover a career which matches your personality & passions, draws on your innate strengths & uses your favorite skills. Envision a life aligned with your core-beliefs, values & what's important to you!

Take action, follow a personalized roadmap with clear steps taking you from where you are now to where you want to be!

The Empower "Get UNSTUCK in 90 Days"
Life & Career Revamp Program

has 3 phases:

#1 Clarity

The goal of the Clarity phase is to focus on YOU! It's time to re-connect with yourself, rediscover who you are now & what you really want your life to look like.

As we grow older, things change, we change, our lives change & what we want changes.

This phase entails taking a long, hard look at YOU, to get Clarity on:

Who you are NOW
What you’re good at: your skills, strengths & superpowers & which you're most excited about using
What are your values & purpose, what’s really important to you
What you need in your life to be happy & fulfilled
What you must have in your career to be satisfied & motivated
This knowledge is about you as a totally unique person & what you need to thrive in your life & career!

#2 Vision

When was the last time you stopped to think deeply “What do I really want in the next phase of my career? What would my ideal role/workday look like?”

The Vision phase is all about discovering what you want your work life to look like & creating possibilities. You’ll start identifying future career options & ideas.

It's called Vision because the idea is to be expansive & think outside the box, revealing the hidden clues that have been right in front of you the whole time. At this stage, we don’t listen to our inner critic worrying about what’s possible, because in reality almost anything is possible if it’s right for YOU!

Together, we'll explore what the next phase of your career might look like: create a vision; generate career options, discover which possibilities give you purpose, energy & direction & are most aligned with your life & career goals.

#3 Action

Having discovered who you are in Clarity & identified what you want in Vision, this phase is all about taking Action.

Working together using a creative & empowering process, we’ll turn your vision of a specific career path into a clear, structured & easy to follow Action Plan. A roadmap to transform your vision into reality & take you from where you are now to where you want to be.

As you work through the phases we’ll also work on your mindset & uncover anything that might be holding you back, undermining your confidence, or limiting your belief in yourself.

Meet Lara, your Career Change Coach

I'll be your Coach & Cheerleader on your Empower Career Revamp journey.

I've been on a similar journey myself and I get it! I’ve experienced multiple amazing and diverse careers over 3 decades: International Marketing, Corporate Business, Start-Ups, TV Shopping, E-Commerce, Coaching & even a Water-Skiing Instructor!

I Spent 25+ years, leading teams, building brands & businesses, start-ups & multinationals, from C-Suite Executive/Director in Europe to partner in an Asian tech company.

I was "successful" but deep down I knew there had to be "more" to my life ...

Following my dreams, I embarked on my own mid-life career change adventure. Leveraging my experience and skills, I reinvented myself to become a dual-certified ICF Coach, Executive Leadership Coach, Licensed Firework Career Coach & Founder of Evolve & Thrive. (I also have a Bachelor's in Business & a Master's in Marketing - from my previous career life).

Now I really LOVE my life, working from the beach & helping other mid-life women find their "What's Next?"

If I sound like the kind of coach you'd like in your corner then I'd love to talk with you. Schedule a free discovery call and we can chat about how can I help you?

FAQ

Who Will Be My Coach?

What is the Evolve & Thrive VIP Tribe?

It's a place where you can engage in live Q&A sessions, group coaching sessions, and connect with a fantastic community of like-minded women who are on a similar journey. You can share experiences, chat, and ask questions.

After the call, we'll work together to create a plan tailored to your goals and aspirations. Your journey towards positive change starts here!

When Can I Start?

You can start as soon as we have availability and your payment is processed.

How Are Coaching Sessions Scheduled? Do They Always Have to Be At The Same Time?

Initially, we'll schedule your first 1-on-1 session with you. After that, you'll receive a scheduling link to book sessions directly into Lara's calendar at a time that suits you. You can choose to have the same time each week if it's available or adjust it to fit your schedule.

Will This Program Help Me Find A New Job?

While we can't guarantee results because your success depends on your effort, we have a strong track record of helping women through career changes. If you put in the work, you're likely to see significant benefits.

I'm Scared to Invest...

Of course you’re scared, I get it, I’ve been there! For my own career change journey I had to use my savings, live more frugally for a while & even ask my Mum to lend me some money! But that allowed me to build a successful business & now I'm living my dream! Ask yourself this question… How will it feel 12 months from now if you are still stuck in your current job vs how it would it feel 1 year from now & you're living your best life, with more money, freedom & happiness? Is that not worth the investment?

I'm Not Sure I Have Enough Time...

This program is very flexible & easy to fit into even the busiest schedules. Most weeks, dedicating an hour or so to the workshops & joining one of the group sessions should be manageable.

I'm not sure this is the best time...

Waiting for the "perfect" time can keep you STUCK in your comfort zone. Sometimes, taking a leap and trying something new is necessary for personal growth. You'll always find reasons not to act, but it's important to decide what you want more - Staying stuck in the same place? Or embracing change for a better life & career?

I'm Scared To Open Up Infront Of Other People

Many people share this apprehension at the start but don't worry, I'm really easy to talk to & our groups are kept small & intimate to provide ample support, plus the Evolve & Thrive Tribe is VERY friendly!

“Lara stopped me procrastinating about my future & helped me take action”

“Lara is a warm and engaging person who stopped me procrastinating about my future & helped me take action. She has a wealth of experience and worked with me on some really compelling quizzes and tests which helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and discover my personality type. I was surprised to learn so much about myself that had remained hidden for years. Exploring possibilities for career development has renewed my confidence in myself and what I'm capable of. Highly recommend a chat with Lara!!”

Liz - London, UK

“I walked away with a clear roadmap to help me take action”

“When I met Lara it was at a time when things did not feel right in my career. She became my accountability partner during a time where I needed to get clarity and direction. Lara supported me in exploring a vision that excited me and gave me the confidence to take action and make it happen. It was a very transformative experience and I walked away with a clear roadmap to help me take action. I would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a change of direction!”

Bridget - Ireland

“Lara helped me develop a balanced and focused mindset to shape the vision I wanted for my career but also for my work-life balance”

“Lara and I started working together when I set up my first start-up business, Lara helped me to develop a balanced and focused mindset to shape the vision I wanted for my career but also for my work-life balance. I absolutely adore the cheerleader approach and her natural energy. The process and methods used by Lara in our sessions and follow-ups were really tailor-made to my needs, being a very analytical, results-orientated person I felt comfortable and really supported“

Laura - Barcelona, Spain

I’ve been there & understand the challenges women face in

combining a career we love with the life we want!

I'm a British/Spanish woman who's lived & worked overseas for most of my life.

I've experienced first-hand, multiple life & career transitions while juggling work & family.

Career revamps are exciting but often scary & stressful, mine certainly were & didn't always work out as expected.

In my 40’s I was hitting burnout at work, I was stressed, bored, unfulfilled & unhappy so I quit my safe corporate career in Europe & headed off on an Eat-Pray-Love adventure with my 7-year-old son.

After a fabulous year travelling the world & planning my next midlife career revamp, I joined a tech start-up in Asia & spent several amazing years living & working in the Philippines & Thailand.
