Supporting Individuals through various seasons…

LEARN MORE

I was not sure there would be value in working with Olivia.  I am a senior business executive with decades of leadership and business experience in multiple disciplines.  In my view, I have been successful.  I know my strengths and weaknesses well.  I couldn’t see how she could help me be more successful, but a trusted friend insisted I have just one meeting.  That one meeting led to a series of sessions that changed my world.  

She didn’t preach or prod.  She asked deep questions and listened actively.  She would not accept glib or superficial answers.  She called out deflecting responses and made me think.  She helped me discover things that mean the most to me.  She shined a light on things that detract energy from me.  She gave me the gift of understanding myself.

Executive, Business Owner

I have relied heavily on Olivia with LivMore in two major career transitions. Years ago, as I considered leaving the practice of law, Olivia walked me through a personality assessment and helped me shift my perspective on a new career path in sales that completely changed my life for the better.  With Olivia’s help, I made connections with people all over the world and won several sales awards. 

I rely heavily on Olivia in shaping my messaging and maintaining the right energy level as I take on new ventures and continue to grow my network and business. 

Her honesty and ability to articulate issues clearly have been invaluable resources to me, and I am so thankful to have her in my corner!

Doug P.

Sales Executive

From the first phone call with her I felt she was someone that was going to help me with so much more than just updating my resume. Her listening skill is on the verge of supernatural. Weeks after that first call I finally met with Olivia at her kitchen table. She remembered all the things I’d said on that first call. It was incredible how she repeated back to me the things we had discussed weeks earlier.

She saw me for who I really am. She gave me conformation that I was trying to make something work that was an impossible situation.  

Joel G.

Sales

She provided professional insight and an unbiased voice to guide me during this time.  She shared wise counsel and encouraging words as I made some important decisions.

54 to 71: An interest in learning more about a coaching relationship

Your score suggests that although you could benefit from coaching, you may not be aware of what a coach could offer. You also may be skeptical of or concerned about whether changes are really possible and wondering what you might have to sacrifice to get them. Maybe you’re coping with a situation that isn’t quite ideal but not painful enough to seek support. You might think you’re too busy to commit to coaching. Or, perhaps you’d be seen as weak if you admit you want some help reaching your most personal goals. If any of this sounds like you, please consider contacting me for a free 30-minute session, with no obligation whatsoever, simply to learn about what coaching could offer for you.

18 to 53:  No recognized need or desire for a coaching relationship at this time

Your score suggests that this particular time isn’t appropriate for a coaching relationship. If you’ve achieved your goals and have a satisfying life and career, congratulations! That’s a wonderful achievement and something to be incredibly proud of. If, on the other hand, life is challenging and you’ve decided that “good enough” is good enough or there is no point in trying to change, I urge you to allow yourself the opportunity to get more out of life.
