Your Coach

Laurie Sheppard

Hello.  My name is Laurie Sheppard and I am a trained “facilitator” of this process through the Lefkoe Institute, who originated this program over twenty years ago.  As a Master Certified Life Coach and Career Strategist since 1994 with my company, Creating At Will® I have been in the business of helping thousands of people make changes.  I work with men and women, but most often I have professional women clients.   

I found in working with my clients that their progress was often delayed because they had certain limiting beliefs that were causing ineffective, repetitive patterns in their life―behaviors and feelings they said they wanted to change, but didn’t know how.

I believe we all have the potential to create the life we want.  This process has allowed me to quickly get to the root of concerns and help folks just like you eliminate where you are stuck, so you can accomplish satisfying relationships, a rewarding career and a more loving relationship with yourself.

My coaching philosophy is to help you first understand where you are and then build a bridge to move forward to where you want to be. But first we have to gently unblock the thinking that got you where you are so you can move into more Positive Thinking.

My background is having spent over a decade in both management and administrative positions for major corporations and legal firms. During this time I also worked as a project manager with the Los Angeles Youth-At-Risk Foundation to help inner city youth dramatically improve their lives and gain ongoing support structures. 

My coaching programs are one-on-one for individuals and groups.  I am a professional speaker for women’s business groups, frequently write for women’s online sites and other article sites, and offer a myriad of personal and career topics at my website.  I publish three bi-monthly women’s newsletters (Women Managers, Women Entrepreneurs, Women in Career Transition-including those returning to the workforce). I have authored a book on Change, Creativity and Communication and co-authored a coach’s book on Self-Esteem. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Administrative Business and Psychology.

I sometimes have face-to-face sessions with my clients, but most of my clients are out of area.  I call them by phone―even my international clients.

To balance my professional life, I love time with my husband and our families.  I’m a voracious reader, enjoy a good movie, and love walks in the sunshine for exercise or time at the gym.  I reside in West Los Angeles.
