Welcome to Lisa Harris Coaching

Ready to have someone listen and support you as you reflect on the challenges you face without feeling judged? 

Desire more clarity, confidence and self-accountability?

Invest in coaching to gain personal insight and action.

For parents, is your child struggling with confidence, setbacks at home or school?

I use a proven story-based method that helps kids build mindset skills for resilience, confidence and leadership!

Lisa has been a great coach during one of the most challenging chapters of my 20+ year career. She creates a space that allows me to unpack complex situations and reframe them into clear opportunities and actionable goals. Every session delivers value. I always walk away with practical tools I can apply. I look forward to each session and would definitely recommend her.

Lisa helped me navigate my chaotic work environment, and remember my why when I was faced with the decision whether to leave my current position. 

I am forever grateful to Lisa for helping me achieve my goal of transitioning to another job. Her coaching style is so thorough, and she will help you peel back the layers to really understand the core of your issues. Trust the process, and trust in her! She's amazing!

Lisa is an empathetic listener but also gently challenges assumptions you may be making through asking compelling, thought-provoking questions, allowing you to find your own path and a new way of framing things, all so you can take action and get closer to the life you want!

Story Based Coaching for Kids

Is your child struggling with self-doubt, fear of making mistakes, or the "I can't" attitude?

As a certified Adventures in Wisdom™ coach, I help kids learn how to "slay dragons", powershift, and handle the ups and downs of growing up with confidence!

 

Personal Development Coaching

Going through a major life transition or feeling stuck?  Let’s work together to unlock your personal potential, explore options and goals!

 

Ad-Hoc Coaching

Ad-hoc (Latin) means done for a particular purpose when needed. 

Have an upcoming stressful work meeting one week?  Is a friend or family member driving you crazy the next?  Whatever the issue, I offer a warm, supportive space to reflect and gain insight to whatever life is currently throwing at you. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly IS coaching?

The International Coaching Federation describes coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Specifically, it is a partnership where the coach provides a safe, supportive, open, non-directive space to talk about anything on the client’s mind.”

Coaching for Kids

WISDOM Summer Program

How is coaching different from therapy/counseling or consulting/mentoring?

Coaching is client driven – the client brings the topic and drives the conversation. The coach helps the client by listening, reflecting back and asking lots of intentional, open-ended questions to facilitate the client’s insight and growth.  Questions such as: 

    Why is this a priority for you right now?

    Imagine that this problem has been solved. What would you see,  hear and feel?

Unlike therapy or mentoring, coaching is a partnership, as there is no power differential between a coach and a client.  The assumption is that the client is capable, resourceful & whole - and through spending the intentional time, energy and focus along with the coach, can solve problems and/or increase awareness.

What should I expect during a coaching session?

You will be listened to without judgement.

You will increase awareness and insight of who you are and the topics you bring for discussion

You will get focused attention from a person who isn’t a friend, family member or colleague, who is completely neutral, whose job it is to listen to you and to ask you intentional, thought provoking questions that will help you focus, discover and move forward. 

You can ask me to be an 'accountability partner' who helps you stay on track, moving forward towards your goals.

Okay, I'm interested. What's the first step?

We have a conversation about what you are looking for in a coach, what to expect in a coaching session with me. We get a sense of each other's communication style, to see if the interpersonal dynamics are a good mutual fit.

For Kid Coaching, I meet with the parent/caregiver to learn more about your child & answer any questions regarding the Adventures in Wisdom® curriculum.
