About Lisa

LOVE YOUR WORK AGAIN

​Maybe you’ve checked every box: the title, the salary, the respect. But somewhere along the way, the work stopped lighting you up.

You find yourself asking, “Why am I doing this?” and you’re not sure what's next.

​

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

​

I’ve been exactly where you are.

​

I’m Lisa Iarkowski. For years, I loved my career in publishing. Then something shifted. By every traditional measure (title, pay, influence, opportunity) I was doing better than ever. But I no longer felt energized or fulfilled.

​

At first, I wondered if it was time for a new company, or even a new industry. Eventually I saw the real truth: I had changed. My work no longer matched who I was or what mattered most to me.

​

I stayed stuck far longer than I needed to, trying to solve it alone. When I finally hired a coach, I didn’t get all the answers overnight, but I felt back in the driver’s seat almost immediately. Together we clarified what I wanted, faced the fears keeping me stuck, and built a path forward that led to more fulfillment and more success.

​

Now I help women do the same.

​

Your definition of success is yours, not your boss’s, your family’s, or your industry’s. Together, we’ll:

​

  • Get clear on what you truly want from your work and your life

  • Uncover the fears and assumptions that are keeping you stuck

  • Build a plan for a career that feels successful on your terms

 

There’s no single right path. There’s your path, and you don’t have to find it alone.

Success Stories

Amber Mackey
Product Manager, Ed Tech and Media

Lisa has been a truly invaluable partner in helping me determine--and achieve!--the next steps on my career path. Her deep authenticity and powerful ability to explore what matters most is what makes Lisa such an amazing career coach. Lisa helped me discover and clarify my strengths, interests, and needs, and to pair those with all the tools I need to achieve my goals. 

Sabine Salandy
 Director, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Lisa helped me create a clear vision for the life I really wanted and showed me how I can get there. I spent so many years feeling lost and unfulfilled in my job. When I started working with Lisa, every session felt like a leap forward. She helped me overcome limited patterns of thinking and behavior. New opportunities began to open up as I learned how to integrate my purpose, strengths,

and natural gifts. Since working with Lisa,

I feel as if I am flourishing. 

Caroline Kasterine
UX Designer, Project Manager, Film Producer

With Lisa's guidance, I began to see my career as an extension of who I am, not something that happens externally, but an outgrowth of my intention. Her expert coaching combined discussion and

exercises to reveal the correct

path to a great job.
