LEADERSHIP & TEAM COACHING
Client Feedback

The past six months with my coach, Lisa Gaines, have been incredibly meaningful. Our sessions helped me discover areas where I could grow, and instead of just giving me answers, Lisa guided me to find my own way forward. This has made a real difference in how I manage my time, stay productive, and show up as a leader with more confidence and presence.
What I’ve also valued deeply is the focus on my overall wellness. It’s helped me understand my own limits, handle challenges with more clarity, and in turn, become a better leader, a better team member, and feel more motivated in my work and growth. I’m truly grateful for the journey and for Lisa’s support in helping me get here.

I just wanted to write you a note to say how much I enjoyed the recent training program.
Your leadership, storytelling and experience in coaching really shone through for me and I really got a lot out of your style of delivery.
I am continuing to practice all the skills learnt and really appreciate the support around my delivery to the ED nurses you gave me.

Lisa helped me to prioritise my tasks with my business and also personal life. She is able to support me in a way that calms my nerves and gives me clarity. I would highly recommend you working with Lisa to craft a vision and a path that really aligns with who you are and what you want to do in this world.

Lisa’s coaching is inspiring, impactful, and deeply strategic. In a single session, she challenged me to narrow down my ideal customer with precision — bringing a level of clarity that has led me to significant breakthroughs, and tangible results.

Before I started coaching with Lisa, I was feeling lost and directionless in my business. I didn’t know where we were heading and wasn’t even exactly sure what I wanted from my working life and my business. Lisa helped me work out exactly what I wanted, and then guided me through what I needed to do to get there. She has never told me what to think or what to do, but rather has an uncanny ability to help me realise these things for myself.
Lisa has helped me with managing difficult clients, staffing issues, coming up with an ambitious yet achievable business plan, and a host of other everyday issues that come up with running a business.
If I’m having trouble with my work-life balance, her psychology expertise and practical advice have proved to be extremely helpful to me. I find our monthly coaching sessions invaluable.
Since I started coaching, my business has continued to grow in ways I could not have predicted. We have an inspiring team culture I’m proud of, and my work/life balance has actually improved.

As a real estate agent in Ohio, USA, I recently expanded my team and my son joined me. Unfortunately, our communication skills were not up to par, and we struggled a lot during the first few months. It was a stressful time for us, and we were both on the brink of a breakdown.
Thankfully, we were able to find Lisa, and she has been a godsend. With her guidance, we learned new and improved ways of communicating with each other, and she helped us through the tough times.
Today, I can say with confidence that Garrett and I are better partners, and our personal and professional lives have improved immensely.
I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who needs help improving their communication skills or enhancing their personal and professional relationships. She is a gifted coach who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them succeed. Thank you, Lisa, for all you've done for us!

This week's shout-out goes to Lisa Gaines PCC, a generous and grounded leader in the coaching world.
Lisa has a unique way of holding space that is wise and refreshingly practical. Whether she is coaching, facilitating powerful conversations, or curating thoughtful events, she leads with clarity, warmth, and heart.
In her latest offering for International Coaching Week, Lisa brings that same magic to a session exploring the boundary between coaching and counselling. A topic that matters to every coach (details below).
Grateful for leaders like Lisa who keep raising the bar and contributing to the work we all feel very passionately about.

Executive Coach & CEO

In the midst of transitioning to a new career path, I found myself experiencing overwhelm from perceived expectations. These perceptions were impairing my direction and manifesting as fatigue.
Coaching with Lisa could not have been more timely. Lisa demonstrated her professional experience and perceptiveness by creating a relaxed and assuring space in every session. Lisa had the acuity to draw connections between facets of my life and provided nuanced guidance to increase my self awareness. I especially appreciated the incorporation of practical applications that supported my momentum toward meaningful outcomes.
Over the course of 2 months being coached by Lisa, I was able to identify and challenge my long-standing limiting beliefs, affirm my capabilities, and to make decisions with clarity. The impact on my wellbeing has been immeasurable.

Lisa is highly effective as a coach as she brings such an eclectic knowledge and experience base to sessions plus a positive, creative personality. Her ability to guide a process that helps bring clarity and confidence to ideas and choices around life and career is impressive and empowering. I also valued Lisa's well-honed communication skills and understanding of human behaviour. She is versatile, meets you where you are at, and applies deep intuition as much as intellect in discussions. I benefited greatly from Lisa's coaching and rate her as an exceptional coach. I would recommend her to anyone seeking personal growth and expansion.

Lisa is an invaluable source of support as I navigate the leadership of a growing business alongside the usual demands of family life.
Her warmth, positivity, compassion, and unfailing encouragement never fail to uplift and motivate me. Meanwhile, her business experience and willingness to challenge have been instrumental in nudging me out of my comfort zone, emboldening me to make decisions and take action that I would otherwise have shied away from.

Lisa's coaching helped me gain clarity and real momentum in a couple of 'stuck' areas of my life. Her empathetic and intuitive style supported and moved me forward faster than I could have ever imagined. Lisa is a catalyst for magic. I highly recommend her as a coach.

Leah Sparkes

I have found coaching with Lisa to be extremely valuable. She is easy to work with, listens, understands and absolutely draws out the best in me to help me achieve the results I want. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great coach.

Carmel Court
Professional Adviser, Sydney

Working with Lisa has been an out of this world experience. My mother and I went to her because we noticed we had trouble properly communicating and understanding one another. She helped my mother and I gain a better understanding of ourselves and one another and ultimately mend a broken relationship that at the time did not seem to be improving.
She helped both of us find ways to better communicate how we felt with one another and ultimately understand each other’s perspectives and help to open our eyes to where our negative feelings were coming from. I would highly recommend Lisa as she is patient, knowledgeable, personable, and very good at what she does.

Lisa is an incredible coach and trainer of coaches. She has the experience and natural ability to put you at ease whilst offering all the support you need as you explore the knots and kinks that are preventing you achieve what you really want out of life. You’ll have a lot of fun too. Amazing results follow! I can’t recommend her to you or your organisation highly enough.

Lisa Gaines was my career coach for approximately 6 months. During this period Lisa was an extraordinary supporter and adviser, in helping me to find the right answers and action plan on my critical and unstable work situation, and also on my future dreams. Lisa is a people's person, extremely approachable, friendly and with an amazing understanding of people’s psychology. Her style is unique, and more than a counsellor, she has the talent to understand the issues in a very pragmatic way and helping you to find the answers in a very clear way. She is a great source of inspiration, partnership and friendship, with strong ethics and terrific passion for her job. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is going through a hard transitional period at work or finding a new meaning in work life. I look forward to working with her in the future if I need again some coaching.

My coaching sessions with Lisa have been ground breaking. I've been amazed that the changes I wanted to make to my life have been actualising in very concrete ways. Lisa is skilful, intuitive, understanding and supportive, and our sessions are dynamic and exciting. I always come away inspired.
