I found Lucy when I wanted to change jobs after almost 2 decades at the same company; as a neurodivergent person, I needed the structure and accountability of a coach and an advocate when I doubted myself. Lucy helped me articulate what I was looking for in a new position and — even more important — what values mattered most to me in the next organization I went to. With her kind but firm guidance, I rebuilt my LinkedIn profile, developed a succinct description of my professional goals, started networking, and presented my best possible self in my job applications, cover letters, and interviews. Now I’m about to start my new role at an organization that feels like a great fit both personally and professionally. Whether your professional persona needs an overhaul like mine or just a tune-up, Lucy is the one to help you through it!”

I began working with Lucy when I decided to look for a new position after working at one job for over 20 years. I knew I’d be rusty at job hunting, and I was nervous about making a move. Lucy provided the practical help I needed, and more importantly she encouraged me to identify and value the skills I had gained during those years, both at my job and outside of it. Now, at the end of our time together, I feel confident about my next move and knowledgeable about how to stay sharp in career advancement in the future.”

As a young professional who was finally ready to explore if I really wanted to make a major career change, I sought out working with Lucy. After 9 sessions, I left with a clear understanding of my strengths, skills, the exact characteristics I wanted from my job/career/ life, and the foundation of a realistic plan to make a major career change! On top of all that, I also left with several new and tremendously helpful habits that I continue to practice daily in both my personal and professional life.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lucy’s approach with me, which was a flexible mix of both life and career coaching. Each session is what you want it to be; you are in the driver’s seat! And while I expected our sessions to be mostly career focused, the life-coaching aspects unexpectedly helped me through an extremely dark and difficult patch of real-life work struggles, and provided me with practical, helpful, and sustainable practices and thought patterns. Lucy has such a well-balanced style of being simultaneously firm and direct while also gentle and comforting; I was held accountable and challenged all while feeling completely supported, cared for, and safe.

If you have any doubts, just book an initial session with Lucy – you will not be disappointed!”

If you want to move forward in your work or your life, you should hire Lucy Meadows as your guide and coach.  When I began working with Lucy, I knew that I needed concrete tools to approach my job search differently.   She provided these every step of the way to help me assess and define my interests and skills. These concrete tools and outcomes are exactly what I hoped to find. 

What I did not expect is that as she coached me week to week, I felt a growing sense of self-confidence and started to think differently about myself and most importantly, how I wanted work to fit into my life.  Lucy’s observations led me to realize that I have the skills and experience to forge a new path for myself that should better provide for my family while allowing me the career ladders that were missing in my former line of work.

Lucy will take you wherever you need to go!”

Lucy Meadows is an extraordinarily gifted life coach who, in minutes, stimulated a small class to hone in on the topics we want to change in our lives. She did this with tact but also conveyed the idea that these are serious issues that require real dedication. I found her approach completely appropriate for intelligent adults who need, every once in a while, to rethink their priorities and to make commitments. The process is both enjoyable and necessary.″
