Here’s what Loala’s clients have to say:
Identifying Goals
“Loala helped me step away from a very successful and lucrative career, and follow my passion. It was a very hard decision to make, but by the time we were done with our coaching engagement, I knew exactly what I wanted to do next. I could not have gotten to where I am without Loala.”
“As women, we have career goals, but also goals for our family, our children, and ourselves. Loala helped me look at some very big decisions from both the personal and professional side. By exploring all of the facets of my life, I was able to come to career decisions that meant a fuller life for myself.”
“Loala’s style is to facilitate a process to get the individual she's working with to find their own answer, as opposed to dictating that answer. She has a gentle nature and a really thoughtful approach. She creates an environment where people are willing to share, be vulnerable and speak candidly.”
Finding Insights
“During our coaching engagement, there were a lot of "aha" moments for me. I realized things about myself that I took for granted because I had always done it that way. One of the big realizations was that I have to remember to take care of myself if I want to be able to take care of others.”
“We can all get very stuck in our perceptions of the way the way the world is. Loala is masterful at flipping these perceptions on their head and getting you to look at them in a different way. She can help you see the other side in a way that doesn’t at all feel combative. She’s very open and wise.”
“Loala has a deep breadth of understanding of a lot of core issues: how people work independently, how people work together, what causes dysfunction in organizations, and what leaders can do to try to help address them. She’s helped me see the opportunities for us as leaders to improve our own perspectives, communication, and performance.”
“Loala is very reflective and I think she plays a fantastic role as a guide. Having experienced, intelligent eyes looking in on the realities of our business has been super helpful. She's also conducted extensive 360 reviews for a broad swath of our organization. She synthesizes and distills the essence of the feedback into important, actionable insights that are reflective of core capabilities and skills of each leader.”
Moving to Action
“Loala is able to help me really drill down to an understanding of what I'm good at, and then how that translates into the work that I could be taking on.”
“She's a great listener, and also gives great advice on how to restructure your thinking. If there’s an action you need to take, she doesn’t tell you want to do. She helps you work through the best plan for you to be successful. She will also tell it like it is and help you hold yourself accountable.”
“Loala brings a lot of domain knowledge of Gallup’s Strengths Assessment. She really understands the tools and how they can be put to use. We did a half day workshop with her facilitating on how to build a strengths based team. I trust and respect Loala, and she was a great fit for our team.”
“Strengthsfinder work itself is very meaningful. The objective of our workshop was to get the team to collaborate in new ways. I think it gave people the opportunity for individuals to think of themselves in a slightly different light. Most importantly, it gave them the opportunity to shed light on their teammates and understand their strengths in different ways. I've already seen some of my team members reach out to other colleagues in ways that they normally wouldn't, to collaborate or to bounce ideas around.”
Enjoying Support Along the Way
“Loala is very driven and very organized. She has natural nurturing side and desire to want to help people, and this helps her stand out in the consulting space.”
“Loala is really intelligent and intuitive, and that's a great combination. When you layer in the breadth of experience that she has and things that she can reference in her own database and memory, it’s very powerful. When I’m working through an issue, she can often share, “I’ve seen this before.” She’s also a very thoughtful and articulate communicator. She is very intentional in how she processes and then shares her thoughts and feedback.”
“What sets Loala apart is the way she listens and gets intently involved. Even after coaching sessions are done, she’ll send follow up texts to check in and see how I’m doing. That means a lot to me. When you've got a person that you believe in on the other side, it becomes easier to open up and identify some of the issues and challenges you have. Loala is that person, every bit of the way.”
“Loala has a very big heart for people. She connects really well, and it’s so genuine. She's got such a calm and put-together demeanor. I look at her and I think, "Wow, I want that for myself.”
“Loala has an earnest desire really to help make people better. It comes through very clearly to me in every one of our interactions. She has a sincere desire to use her unique skills and capabilities to actually propel individuals as well as organizations forward.”
Getting Results
“After working with Loala, I have an amazing awareness of myself as a wife, mom and leader. I learned how my values carry through to all of my roles in life and I learned what brings me joy. For years I separated my values as an employee, mom/wife and person, without realizing how they are all connected. Our coaching work together brought real clarity into my life and helped me with one of the biggest career decisions I’ve ever made. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I feel so good about the work that I do right now, and I know it's because of Loala.”
“In the time I've been working with Loala, I have completely up-leveled how I show up, not only at work but for life in general. I have gained a deeper knowledge of what motivates me, what triggers me, how I want to show up in my new role (and also prepare for the next one) and what actions I can take to get there. I also have a new set of tools I can refer to when I feel challenged by something new and unfamiliar. I would highly recommend Loala as a coach for anyone who is ready to take the next step toward living their best life, whether it be at the office, at home, or anywhere in between.”
