"working with Lara I gained a level of mental clarity that I have not had in 10 years."
Monica Jacques, Denver
“I honestly believe that we are, all of us, molded and re-molded by those that we come in contact with. No love, nor friendship can ever cross the path of a person’s destiny without leaving some mark upon it forever. The mark Lara has left on me as a person AND on my professional life is one that I will forever be thankful for. I do not say this lightly – she is a once in a lifetime coach!
Participating in the Career Clarity coaching program with Lara has helped me to gain a level of mental clarity that I have not had in over 10 years. Not only did I learn HOW to better evaluate the opportunities that were coming my way, I learned how to reframe my perspective on things that I had been carrying as a weight for a very long time. In our short time working together I learned how to “clear out the clutter” and create the mental space needed to allow myself to take on professional opportunities that I’ve always dreamed of BUT were too hesitant to pursue.
Words cannot express just how thankful I am to have been able to share my story and my journey with Lara. She is an amazing woman, an amazing coach and I feel lucky to be able to call her a friend. Whether you are looking to get tips on how to change old habits OR dig into something deeper Lara can help you do it!”
"Lara shattered my expectations."
Sarah Eisenbud, denver
“Coaching with Lara has been an incredible experience for me. I have always been a little resistant to coaching and am a bit of a skeptic and a do-it-yourselfer, but Lara shattered my expectations and guided me rather than telling me what to do (which was my fear). She helped me vision and stay focused on launching the next phase of my business. She has helped me walk away from ambivalence and toward clarity. She also helped me construct a paradigm of luxury that supports the ways I think about my business efforts and frames my choices. She is patient, energetic and truly dedicated to my vision, not some canned version of what a business, career or life is “supposed” to look like.”
"Lara helps me stay focused on my larger goals."
Austin Quattlebaum, Portland
“Before working with Lara, I was easily overwhelmed by the many different facets of my life and career. I struggled to find priority in a moment, hour, or day. While working with Lara and talking through all of my ideas, I began to gain clarity on the aspects of my life that do actually matter. I started to hone in on my north star instead of the flight of fancy of the day. Now, I’m more focused on the bigger goal of the next few months. With Lara’s help, I was able to line out proper deadlines and action steps needed to get there.”
"Lara is Extremely adept and skillful."
James Mills, denver
I had dreamed of starting a gym for seven years. Seven years! Through extremely adept and skillful questioning, Lara helped me shed the layers of fear, self-doubt, the weight and expectation that I “should” be using my graduate degree, and other personal hangups that had kept me from pursuing this dream. Systematically acknowledging and naming these layers of obfuscation helped me better understand the what and why behind my dream. Then Lara helped me uncover the steps I needed to take to realize this dream. All the while, she never imposed her views. Never made me feel less than or more than. She simply helped me better understand myself – understand what makes me tick. No gimmicks. No BS. No fluff. No woo. Just questioning and listening by an extremely skilled and wonderful person. My gym opens in 2019!
"A tremendous asset. I couldn't have done it without Lara."
Christopher wong, san diego
"Lara's suggestions opened up a whole new world for me."
Winter Clark, Steamboat Springs
“I’m in a great place! I tried Lara’s suggestions. I signed up for things I hadn’t heard of before to take chances and it opened up a whole new world for me. Realizing the importance of being myself and not trying to control how I come across to please others in whatever way I think they might perceive me was a huge insight.”
"ORGANIZED, FOCUSED, AND SATISFYING."
Maria walsh, los angeles
Lara is a FANTASTIC coach! Even as a close friend of mine, Lara is able to embody the role of a coach in a way that makes it feel like she is getting to know me with new depth. She is able to seamlessly include insight that she has about me from our long-term friendship, while also staying objective, nonjudgmental, and curious. Lara is an organized and focused coach, making sessions feel productive and satisfying. She takes notes, frames the discussion within larger contexts, checks-in about what you need, and makes sure there are tangible and clear next steps to keep the momentum going. She often circles back to even small things I mentioned and brings in non-work circumstances and goals, making me feel deeply listened to and understood as a full, whole person. Lara is genuinely excited about helping people through the sticky and difficult challenge of discovering and pursuing a fulfilling career and life path. You can tell that she loves people, their stories, and their dreams. She asks great questions, is INCREDIBLY validating, encouraging, and super real. Her excitement for YOUR life is infectious. Honestly, I could write a thesis on how great Lara is as a coach. I only have excellent things to say about her and can’t recommend her enough. Work with her! You won’t regret it.
"Outstanding."
alexandra thurston, denver
“Lara is a skilled career coach in the highly competitive Denver market. She did an outstanding job listening to me as well as coming up with creative ideas for my future endeavors. Lara consistently challenged me to be a better more introspective person. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for coaching. Lara is very professional, and after our time together I value her advice and would consider her a friend.”
"Greatest benefit for a major life transition!"
Jennifer Obidah, Berkeley
“You, Lara Buelow, were one of my greatest benefits of 2017! As my Transition Coach, you guided me through my process of moving from Barbados to Berkeley, CA with insight, intuition and the most amazing, empowering questions! Thank you! I will recommend you to anyone going through a major life transition.”
"Reinforced that my dreams are possible."
Maggie Ronan, San Francisco
“I worked with Lara as a coaching client during a time of transition in my life, and it so happened that she was in the midst of a great transition of her own, so I really felt comfortable being open about my uncertainty about what I was doing with myself! I believe Lara is naturally inclined to be a coach because of her brilliant creativity, supportiveness, and sense of adventure (which helped reinforce that my own dreams are possible). These dynamite personality traits plus the array of coaching tools and practices she knows made for meaty sessions that helped me make real progress on identifying what wasn’t working in my life and focusing on where I want to go that *does* work. Thank you Lara!”
"Built a foundation that will drive me to success!"
Carlos Gainey Vejar, Bay Area
“When Lara and I first met I had been challenged with finding my entrepreneurial direction. We established key actions that would help me strive towards the goals I wanted to accomplish right away and help keep my mid and long term goals in sight rather than avoiding them like I was used to doing previous to my coaching. Lara assisted me in being more assertive and self-aware, not only my strengths and weaknesses, but also how to manage them more efficiently. In working with Lara, we built a foundation on which I can continue to build great habits that will drive me to the success I want to see.”
"Set up for success."
Christine Calandrella, Denver
“I contacted Lara for support in building my side hustle. She did not disappoint! I learned new things about myself and how to set my business up for success. I even made money within the first month of working with her. I have a solid plan and couldn’t have done it without her counsel.”
"Interactive and solution oriented!"
Tim Gillett, Santa Cruz
“I would recommend this type of coaching to anyone! I found the coaching with Lara to be very interactive, with her helping me find my own solutions to things. Her engagement and enthusiasm was very evident and also the perceptive questions that she used. I can only say that honestly the one thing I would like to have done differently would be to have done more sessions with her.”
