Lisa Brewer Coaching LLC
Transforming Lives
From Competence to Executive Confidence
Despite having saved her company multiple millions of dollars through leading her team to implement her strategic insights, she credited her team for her success. She loved her work and company, but was ready to leave for lack of a promotion.
Transformation: Confidence in her strategic abilities • Executive communication skills • Prioritizing time to decompress
Results: Promoted from Senior Manager to Senior Director • More time with her family
"All of the wisdom, guidance, and lessons Lisa's shared over the past few months paid off in spades when I successfully delivered 3 executive presentations and a eulogy in December. Lisa is creative, engaging, encouraging, and practical. She's a great listener and a resourceful problem solver. I genuinely look forward to each session. She instills confidence. Lisa's compassion and personal investment in my success makes BetterUp the best leadership development program I could ever recommend."
Senior Director, Communications and Media
From Burnt Out to Energized and Passionate
Transformation: Clarifying values and passions • Identifying paths and resources
Results: Started pursuing personal passion projects • Identified more exciting ways to engage with work
"Entering the BetterUp program, I had my reservations and anxieties about going through a personal coaching program. I became comfortable with Lisa very quickly, as she was relatable and was very effective in framing our conversations, providing me homework to think through, and suggesting actions to follow through. I learned a lot from my sessions with Lisa ("lightbulb" moments, as we would call them) and over the course of 5-6 months, I can definitely feel a change in my disposition and have some new techniques that I've incorporated into my daily activities. Going in, I had a rather steep goal in terms of what I wanted to change/improve, and I truly feel I've started heading down a path of change. I can't thank Lisa enough for how valuable our sessions were."
Managing Director, Consulting
From Anxious to Bold
Transformation: Self-compassion • Established boundaries • Confidence breaking down challenging projects
Results: Increased peace • Tackled complex projects • Increased focus on strategic work
"I originally selected my coach because she specializes in well-being habits - I thought I'd be focusing on productivity and "life hacks". I had no idea how much deeper this work would go, let alone how many deeply ingrained thought patterns I had that were quietly but majorly shaping how I showed up in life.
" In just three months, Lisa has helped me uncover, challenge, and truly transform those patterns in a way that I didn't even know was needed .... or possible. The way she listens and reflects back, with clarity and genuine care, is an incredible gift.
"The shifts i've experienced feel nothing short of miraculous for me. I've spent years investing in my personal growth, and nothing has come close to being this transformative. I think, feel and show up differently across so many areas of my life. Things I avoided for over a decade, I can now face head-on without my nervous system shutting down.
"This has been the most profound and life-changing work I've ever done, and I'm beyond grateful. Lisa has an exceptional gift. THANK YOU!"
Account Manager, Industrials Sector: Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery
From Potential to Clarity to Associate Director
Transformation: Distinction between leadership and title • Courageous communication • Relationship management
Results: Proactively took larger role in team • Hired as Associate Director
"Lisa has been instrumental in guiding me through a few challenging situations that came up in my professional life, as well as helping me to hone my ideas for the future. When I came to Lisa, I wasn't exactly sure of what I really wanted out of my career. I only knew that I was capable of more and wanted to continue to seek opportunities that challenge me. She helped me realize that I already possess many qualities of a great leader, even though I haven't had the opportunity to utilize them directly in a career role. I know feel more confident than every that I would be a great leader in an organization and that I especially want to seek out those opportunities to lead a team. I know that I wouldn't have arrived at this clarity without the guidance and support of Lisa."
Sr. eCommerce Customer Development Manager, Consumer Goods Products
Leading through Challenging Relationships and Circumstances
Transformation: Quieting judgment • Strengthening empathy and curiosity • Reducing micro-managing
Results: Increased peace and impact • Stronger results from direct report • Greater strategic focus • Clarity about career direction
"My experience with Lisa has be nothing short of extraordinary. One of the things I will remember the most about Lisa is how much she cares. Lisa has exposed me to so many things, saboteurs, sage, the need for curiosity, techniques for reducing micro-managing. All with a level of compassion and grace.
"If I had to pick one thing that will benefit in the most, I'd have to pick meditation. I would not have trusted anyone enough to even think this was something relevant to me. It turns out, it provides benefits beyond what I thought possible. Heck, I'm not even good at it and I can see those benefits. I write this as I look at my monitor that now has two notes attached to it. One says "Lead" the other "Relax into Wisdom." Both were topics we discussed at length."
Operational Risk Management / Quality Control, Government
From Procrastination to Dream Job
Transformation: Emotional regulation • Executive presence • Productivity
Results: Got dream job • New employee of the year award • Increased joy and peace
"As my Coach, Lisa has added immense value to improving my mental health, dealing with emotions, and achieving dreams. Here are 2 examples out of many where she had enabled me to truly shatter my glass ceilings.
1. It had always been difficult for me to develop habits or goals and I could never follow through on them. She helped me understand techniques which enabled me to add structure so I wasn't overwhelmed and it felt manageable, and thus creating impactful habits to work towards larger goals. She also supported by being my Accountability Partner to follow through on my weekly/monthly goals.
2. I struggled with self acceptance and self limiting emotions. She recognized this and introduced me to skills such as Self Acceptance and Forgiveness, Deliberate Self Perception and Effective Control. The process of acquiring these skills has been truly transformational for me in unexpected positive ways and has been nothing short of a miracle for me!
I would highly recommend Lisa, she has truly helped to Unlock the Potential!"
Senior Technical Consultant, Consulting Industry

Working 12+ hour days consistently and at times on weekends was harming his relationship with his fiancé and his energy. As a new manager he "protected" project engineers by doing their work. Often did his peers' work to ensure it got done.
Transformation: Delegation • Situational leadership • Coaching skills • Empathy • Collaborative & courageous communication
Results: Workdays 3 hours shorter • Empowered engineers • Helped grow his peers' skills • Prevented a regrettable resignation • Considered for another promotion • Stronger relationship with his siblings

"Lisa is really great at digging the answers out from within the person. I came with an idea of how I would prepare for a crucial conversation, and Lisa improved my preparation at least threefold! We we covered in personal life was just as impactful as work life if not more so! I couldn't have made this much progress in my career without Lisa. She is amazing!"
Director, Real Estate
"I highly recommend Lisa as an executive coach. She guided me through a recent career move and challenged me to live my values and become a leader at my organization. There were several times where I hit a wall and Lisa coached me through my own thought process and helped me uncover my own truth and answers. I could tell she was really listening and that allowed me to be more open and honest. I always took some new thought or insight away from each call and I'm so thankful that I leveraged Lisa's talent during this important time in my career."
Ryan Feldt, Vice President, Product Management, Healthcare Technology
"When I started working with Lisa, I was struggling with lack of confidence and motivation. She helped me in developing my next steps in my career whilst addressing personal challenges. Her professionalism and empathy along with her tools and knowledge gave me a real boost. Every session with her was eye opening for me because she helped me look at my situation from different perspectives. Her gentle encouragement helped me tremendously to take actions I didn't want to take or know how to take. It felt like she knew how to turn on my "action taking switch." I couldn't recommend her more highly."
Lux H., Educator, Parenting & Child Development Specialist, Coaching Industry
"This was an amazing session for me - I don't think anyone has ever told me so adamantly to allow myself room to appreciate my accomplishments and experience self-gratitude. My heart feels very full right now."
"Lisa really honored how unnerved I was today and shared several tools to help me cope with unfamiliar stress. They allowed me to put my fears into perspective, and I feel much better equipped to address what I need to do."
"We touched a raw nerve I've carried with me most of my life. I can't even type this without crying! I think this will always be an emotional memory for me, but the work we did helped so much to put it in perspective and to truly make me realize I wasn't abandoned, and it wasn't my fault. I'm getting so much out of this work of keeping memories but letting go of the painful emotions."
Customer Service, Government
"Lisa is a very encouraging and skilled coach. She is an excellent listener and quickly understood my needs offering tools and strategies to help me improve as a supervisor and leader. She also helped me better balance my work and family life. I have grown greatly in these areas in just six months of working with her and I have confidence that this growth with continue."
Branch Chief, Government
"Lisa is a phenomenal coach. During a difficult period in my life, she helped me to choose myself first. Prioritizing my own needs has greatly helped me to relax my nervous system, to enjoy life more, and to be more present and confident in my interactions with others. In our work together, Lisa brought forward the best qualities of a coach: knowledge, skill, smarts, and an understanding of how to work with subconscious blocks. But, most importantly, Lisa always acted with humility and with great compassion. While her work is not therapy, I have no doubt that a coaching relationship with someone who really cares as much as Lisa does allows for healing."
Sol L. Contractor, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Scientific and Technical Information
"I had an unexpected reaction to a TSA checkpoint and discovered it was connected to some childhood trauma. Lisa helped me discover coping mechanisms to address the fear and discomfort that was coming up when I was going through security at the airport. I now have no reaction when I apply those tools. What I really appreciate about Lisa is that she has a deep and diverse toolbox and she pulls just the right tool out for my unique situation. I highly recommend her."
Susanne K. Referral Marketing Expert, Marketing
"Lisa has helped me navigate through many different aspects of my career including stress management, creating work-life balance, and building communication and influence skills. She always comes to sessions with a positive attitude and asks great questions that helps guide me towards a solution. This is the type of coaching that will stick with me, as it has helped train me to ask some of these questions, and apply my analytic skills to my own personal and career development. Lisa has helped me feel happier and more fulfilled at work. She helped me set attainable and measurable goals, and we have candid conversations about my progress. In some reflection over the past year, my interim manager said 'I don't know what it is you've been doing, but whatever it is, it's been working!'. I definitely owe a lot of this growth to Lisa!"
Data Scientist, Retail
"Lisa and her coaching have absolutely changed the trajectory of my career. She provided guidance far beyond tactical job skills but gave me key considerations about how to handle various relationships in my life and getting to the deeper understanding of some of my triggers, shortcomings, and how to better advocate for myself. We worked on multiple frameworks for strategic thinking, interviewing skills, and having difficult conversations with my boss. She was also an empathetic ear during some of my most challenging work scenarios in my career so far. I am so thankful for the time working with Lisa and would highly recommend her as a coach."
Business Development Manager, IT Industry
"I'm starting to align my focus areas together to not overwhelm. The self-sabotage topic and discussion is right on point and helping me to make connections and understand some of my behaviors. Great conversation on the Hyper Achiever Saboteur ... And some good aha moments of simple changed words and behaviors I can use as well as share with my Team. Lisa is truly amazing at what she does. Getting people like myself to open up and look within myself is not easy to do."
Sales Manager, Telecommunications and Media
"Lisa Brewer is a gifted coach. One of my treasured colleagues, Lisa served as my coach during the launch of my new higher education consulting practice. Her intuitive ear and bold questions help me rewrite predictable scripts into fresh client approaches, achievable business milestones, and a revenue plan to track progress over three years. Lisa is a wise accountability partner, drawing from her education, life experience, and business development savvy. I recommend her highly for anyone looking for a coach who will support them, challenge them, honor and celebrate their accomplishments."
Andy, Coach and Consultant, Higher Education
"Even as you described this (RIM® Regenerating Images in Memory session), I knew it could be powerful, and this is something I could never imagine I could feel, in a very positive, good way. It's more impactful, beyond my imagination impactful. This is one of the top three experiences of my life! It feels good. These are happy tears. I never felt this. I don't have words to describe it. I'm so grateful for this. Thank you very much.
"I could see myself being constantly pulled down, and all of a sudden it improved, it felt better, and I didn't need to leave it. I realized what acceptance could look like. In our prior work, I could half-heartedly accept things, but today I was able to vividly imagine what acceptance could look like. The challenge could still be there and you could still be joyous, not in a half-hearted way, but completely and wholly, even as that thing is still there."
Senior Manager, IT Industry
" What I'm noticing that's different since my [RIM® Regenerating Images in Memory] session is I've managed better than usual to be present. To stress or worry during a certain time of the day, focus on doing that task that is weighing on me, and then move on and prioritize time for Pilates, Yoga, cooking with my husband, or a walk. And actually focus on doing that and that new part of my routine rather than thinking 'I should be doing this or that.'
"What I'm realizing now is I can be productive and do my best to succeed at work, but that's still possible while dedicating as much time and energy to other aspects, such as family or personal time. I've enjoyed focusing on being present more. Done meditations or simply focusing on switching off after a long day.
"What I'm feeling now is more content and calm. By focusing on making that change, I do feel it's paying off. Yes, not everything always goes to plan, but I'm not dwelling on it as much, at least I don't think I am! I've been happy to say no to certain things or focused on what I needed at different times."
Account Director, Sales, Hospitality Industry.
"Lisa is a true optimist: her positive attitude helps me overcome obstacles and achieve things I never thought I would. When I first started talking to Lisa, I knew she was a go-getter, who will go the extra mile to make sure she is giving me the best coaching possible to make sure I am comfortable and growing.
Lisa understood my vision and took the approach of putting me in the "seat" of where I wanted to be soon. With her help, I could understand the challenges and opportunities I had ahead of me.
Above all her professional qualifications, the thing I admire the most about Lisa is her ability to be very calm and not overwhelm me during our conversations. She is a dynamic coach who will go the extra mile in all our conversations.
For all the above reasons, I would highly recommend Lisa for an Life Coach job as she surely has changed my life."
Fathi H, Business Development Manager, Manufacturing
"I learned so much about how our brains work and how outside stimulus contributes to the runaway train when we feel a lack of willpower. My overall willpower has definitely improved. Lisa is able to celebrate small victories that lead to larger victories that ultimately lead to real change."
Susan B. Entrepreneur
Holistic Wellness
"The questions and assignments she gave helped me dig deeper and answer honestly about my true goals and values. If you're struggling to accomplish something and need motivation and direction for your path, The Science of Willpower program is for you. It offers a concrete timeline and Lisa helps keep you accountable, helping you make strides while growing in ways you might not have imagined."
Jenny F. Teacher, Community Organizer, and Mom
"I was able to identify all the ways I was wasting money and even ways I should be spending more money. I was able to make a lot of different choices that now, six months later, have become habit. My saving to spending ratio is twice as good as it was before The Science of Willpower, and I am building wealth."
Jeffrey G. Business Development Manager, HR Technologies
"I'm feeling strong and not fixed on the 'guilt' at all - it seems that I'm releasing that. I'm noticing that the negative thoughts of my past marriage are not surfacing nearly as much - actually, there is a huge difference. The issue is still there, but not in the same form it was before. I believe I'm moving past that! I am realizing that I can let the negativity of my feelings go, be left with the good feelings and the good times, and appreciate them for what they are - not focus on the guilt! AWESOME!"
Leadership Consultant and Coach
"I like that I am starting to get my aha moments. To me it means that I started thinking in a different way which is one of the goals to help me grow in the direction I want."
"Illuminating. Lisa helped me to tackle an issue that I have been struggling with in a very simple way. [It is also] helpful to focus on career development and not just how to be efficient and deliver my current role."
"I am always so excited and energized after these sessions! I was feeling stressed earlier today. I feel like we break down problems into solvable components so things don't seem so overwhelming and daunting any more."
"Happy to share with you about my promotion to next role as director. Credit goals to your coaching and wishes that made this happen to me. Thanks for your coaching and very fortunate to have you as my coach."
Senior Manager, Computer Manufacturing
Well my patience and persistence paid off and today it was announced my role as Engineer Manager was official. I had received several proposals elsewhere but none of them seemed to be the right fit for me, so I hung around here.'
Maintenance Supervisor, Plumbing & Manufacturing
1st session: "I want to let you know that I felt a lot better around my mom, I was more accepting of her and my patience level with her definitely increased! it was like your session open something inside me that needed to be addressed and by combining meditation with the session, I was able to accept feelings and understand myself and my relationship with my mom more."
2nd session: "Understanding the connection between my younger me and the present me has helped me realize a lot of things. For the past week I have been more aware of 'my childish reactions' and I have been able to realize that I need to 'play" more often and don't let circumstances win over what I want to do. This compromise with myself needs to happen every morning, so I can charge my whole day with 'positive energy'. Some days are better than others, but at least now I am noticing when things are going south and that is a great thing!!!!"
Homemaker
"I had my first RIM coaching experience with Lisa, it was amazing! Lisa created a safe and personable environment to explore what was showing up for me subconsciously. Lisa took her time in preparing me for the experience, as well as how to care for myself following the session.
With Lisa's guidance, I identified the cause of my creative block. Lisa asked the right questions at the right time for me to 'give myself permission' to be free from the block and enjoy the journey.
"I continue to reflect on the many visions that showed up during our session, and I am carrying the experience forward. Thank you Lisa for making my first RIM session a success!"
Deaundra, Personal & Leadership Development Coach
"I tend to ramble while I formulate my thinking or try to explain something, and Lisa is able to be okay with my rambling. She can always bring it back to something succinct in what she hears and is spot on with her summary."

"As an empty nester with my elder child in college and my younger child dying at the age of 16, I found myself in transition and in need of direction. I have been working with Lisa for 6 months and find her to be inspirational, focused, and resourceful. Lisa helps me by defining goals for the week and following up to see if the goals are achieved and if not, why. She is supportive, encouraging, and reminds me of my successes. I would highly recommend Lisa as a Life Coach."
Jill F, Executive Director, Healthcare Pro-bono Industry
"In this very short session I got closer to understanding the director that I think would be best for me and have a better understanding of how to come to grips with this thing called "Imposter Syndrome" that has been nagging me lately. I am quite surprised how much I learned in so short a time."
Chris H. Career Advising, Job Placement Industry
"Lisa and her low-key and kind coaching has really helped me work on things about myself that make me a happier person. My house and office are taking shape with her assigning little weekly jobs that don't overwhelm. Last week we worked on the fear of flying. There is never any doubt that Lisa is a deeply empathetic, wise person that truly wants to make a difference. Lisa will listen and support you on good days and when you feel very fragile. Sometimes you need someone where there is no need to soften your comments. I'm very thankful for all Lisa has done for me, we need more people like her in the really tough world of ours."
Donna R., Retired
"Lisa has been crucial in my transition to a new city and search for a new job. She is a planner, thought provoker, mentor, and supporter. She has an amazing knack for know when and how to invoke each skill to ensure that you make decisions and choices with clarity and purpose. She is helpful in helping you recognize desires that were hard to pinpoint alone. She has a way of repackaging your own, sometimes confusing, thoughts in a way that adds meaningful direction. Lisa is a perfect choice if you are looking for someone to confide in and learn from about yourself, your career ambitions, and your potential."
Elizabeth B, Director, Non-Profit
"As an entrepreneur and a coach, I am glad I worked with Lisa. She helped clear many mental blocks, allowing me to move my business forward. I have had the privilege of working with many coaches, but she is one of the best I have ever worked with. She has this amazing patience and calmness that is contagious. The value that she provides in each session is difficult to measure because I believe the things I have taken away are priceless. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I would highly recommend Lisa. She is so highly skilled at what she does. I am constantly trying to figure out how I can be more like her."
Martin D. Entrepreneur, Coaching Industry
"I've been working with Lisa for 6 months and have seen measurable change in myself. Lisa is such a supportive coach and human. She has a gentle but firm way about her that has empowered me to be open and honest with both her and myself. With Lisa's coaching and support I feel prepared to transition to running my business full-time and also finally face some personal issues I've been pushing down for years now. I highly recommend Lisa Brewer as a coach!"
Jane S. Entrepreneur, Coaching Industry
"As a coach, Lisa is a very attentive listener with an excellent memory. She's able to connect the dots between conversations to understand my vantage point and what I'm working toward. Along those lines, she's been able to help frame up ways for me to progress toward my goals. She's also very good about sharing new ideas and perspectives with me at opportune times in our conversations, which have been helpful to me. I recommend her for coaching for personal growth and development."
Ray A.

"I'm a first-time solopreneur who's juggling development, marketing, and sales for the first time. Lisa's been a great help in narrowing my target customers and understanding their pain points. That's helping me prioritize features and refine my messaging. My personal and business objectives are intertwined - Lisa gets that and is helping me figure out how I can achieve both. If you're a small business owner who is facing new challenges, Lisa can help you develop a plan to meet them."
John R. Entrepreneur

"When I first came to Lisa, I was having a difficult time moving forward in my career. I had to overcome the limited beliefs I held about myself in order to move forward. Lisa's unconditional positive regard created the warm, positive therapeutic relationship I needed to feel at ease and comfortable while doing the deep inner work. I highly recommend Lisa as a life coach. Her knowledge and experience have helped me overcome limitations and increased my personal power to lead a successful, fulfilling life."
Kirsten W, Grad Student, Counseling Industry
"The advantage of becoming a coach is both having better access to a large community of coaches and discerning a great coaching session. And I mean it when I say Lisa is one of the best coaches I had the pleasure of working with. She has a real gift in balancing both kind presence while creating a safe environment, and natural outcome-oriented guidance, nurtured by her previous leadership experience. I was able to advance with Lisa in reshaping some of my last two-year topics with a fresh perspective, new insights, and deep reflection. I'm grateful for this opportunity and highly recommend Lisa as a coach."
Alexandra C, Entrepreneur, Coaching and Consulting Industry
"I've had many coaches so I wasn't sure what Lisa Brewer could offer me when I called her for private coaching, but I'm very grateful I followed through on my instinct. She was terrific. Lisa was able to shed some light into the dark corners of my resistance that I couldn't see for myself. Lisa's insights, intelligence, understanding, and patience made her easy to work with. If you are looking for a skilled coach to help you get to the next level - give Lisa a call. She is simply awesome!"
