Who is Lori?
I am what you call a unique person, haha. I love to hang out with friends, but I also take life, education, work, and helping others very seriously. I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a good bit of my family still lives. I currently reside in South Carolina. I have faced some incredibly low moments and some incredibly high moments in my life. Those exact moments helped shape me into the driven, ambitious, lovable, happy-go-lucky person I am today.
Did you go to college?
Yes! I have a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration.
How did you get into life coaching?
Well, I was following a well-known relationship coach on social media, and he introduced the opportunity to me. Once I began doing research and looking more into the opportunity; I realized life coaching is something I’ve ALWAYS done naturally. From there, I took courses, learned, created my coaching business, and the rest is history!
What is it that you do for your clients?
AHH, this is a good question. I help my clients with three topics: personal power, mindset, and life. I chose personal power because so many people hold themselves back for various reasons (fear, previous failures, self-doubt, uncertainty, etc.) I help people achieve past those things. Personal power can also be described as standing up after life has knocked you down. I show people that when things feel like the end of the world, often it’s just a new route beginning. Mindset is good because a lot of people really don’t understand their thoughts are their reality. I show people that sometimes it’s not actually the situation, it could be your perception or approach. I chose life because I feel like that’s a good “shuffle” topic. For example, if personal power or mindset coaching isn’t for a client, in a life session, we can discuss things like time management, decluttering, tips to get more organized, etc. So, to sum it up, I help my clients realize what they can do for themselves. I help my clients have a chance to “unpack” everything they’re going through and take things to a new level or give it a new approach. I help my clients gain confidence in themselves. I help them see things in a different light. I help them come up with new strategies. When clients work with me, we literally work TOGETHER.
Who should hire/work with you?
I would say honestly, anybody that is ready. I want people to know although we live in a time where finding your audience and niche is important, the door is always open to anyone that feels my particular service can help them.
What is your big goal? Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
My big goal is to eventually have coaching as something I offer, along with other things aimed at helping people better their mental health. I’m looking forward to writing books, developing courses, and so much more. Ten years from now, I see myself having at least 3-5 books written, at least 3-5 courses available, and a long list of happy clients. I have a motto that states “I’m interested in seeing you be great.” I stand firm on that and anything I do stems from that. So if in 10 years I help one thousand people or one million people, I will strive to continue to see people “be great.”
