Lara gave me permission to set boundaries and she became my new inner voice in setting those boundaries. She helped me bring back the passion that I knew I had for my career and business. I am no longer over-worked and I am no longer close to burn out. Boundaries can be very difficult when you want to help everyone all the time, but setting boundaries made a difference in the quality of care I give my clients. Boundaries have helped my business do better and I am happier. Thanks to Lara’s coaching, I have balance in my life for the first time in a very long time.

"After an hour of one-on-one coaching with Lara, I felt a sense of agency about a problem that had been plaguing my decision making process for months. I still had to do a lot of work to resolve it but, after we spoke, I felt like I had a much better understanding of what needed to be done and I felt empowered to do it. Lara's feedback was insightful, empathetic, and supportive."

I was part of Lara's "The Big Push" coaching program, and Lara helped me package my services in a way that both fit my clients' needs, and ensured that I would get paid what I'm worth. She is a true cheerleader for her clients, ensuring that they have the support, resources and community they need in order to find fulfillment and financial success in their business.

Working with Lara is one of the best things I could have done for my business. She not only helped me set pricing and business goals, she also helped organize my thoughts around how to operate my business better.
In addition to her business know-how, she is also approachable. I feel as though I have gained a friend as well as a coach. She is even there when I am having a bad day, which is important because I work alone from home and knowing she is there for me is important. It really helps.
Our coaching calls are all specific to me and my business, which is great value for my time. Every time we talk she sheds light on things I would not have otherwise thought about or seen that way. Working with Lara has been a game-changer for my business - my business has grown three times the size since working with Lara!
Lara knows exactly how to take a big business dream and break it down into simple steps to help you achieve it. After a year of working with her, my productivity has soared. I also have more clarity about what I need to do to generate the life I want. Lara is so helpful in making sure that your business supports your lifestyle. She teaches you to make choices to support both your professional and personal goals, including making time for family members, friends and personal commitments such as exercising. Investing in Lara's services will bring you a huge return -- not only financially, but also in terms of life satisfaction.

Thank you so much for the great planning day. I enjoyed being challenged in my ideas and I really love the fact that I have concrete tasks to help me move forward. For the last year and a half I have been feeling overwhelmed and so haven't taken any action but now I have a clear direction and I am very excited for the new year. Since our meeting I am feeling so much more confident and my partner noticed this so I know it shows. I hope you know how good you are at what you do. I appreciate your fantasticness!

Invoicing day is my favourite day!
Ok, not quite. I actually love speaking days and writing days more. But I do remember a time when I thought there was no way I could do work I love this much and actually get paid for it. And then Lara slid into my DMs like "Hey, girl. Did you know what you do has value? Let's lunch." (I might be paraphrasing a bit.)
Thanks, Lara, and everyone in this group, for continuously inspiring the woman who thought she was never "enough" and is now, finally, feeling... dare I say... a bit successful?
But really - thanks.❤

I have been working with Lara since October of 2016 after hearing of the success from another entrepreneur that works with her. During our first coaching call, I instantly felt like I could breathe a little more, began to feel more clarity and knew hat she was not only a great business coach but that she really cared about helping me create a business that I had always dreamed of. After doing the 3 month program I knew that I needed to continue working with her and that I would absolutely reach my dreams for my business and also in having a young family by signing up for her 6 month group coaching program. Before working with her, I really struggled with finding time between family and work (always a challenge when you work from home!). It dawned on me yesterday as I was sitting outside in the sunshine, reading a book, that I was creating the life that I had always envisioned when I began my business. I have become more confident in my business, rediscovered my passion, work the same hours, plus a day or two off during the week, without the stress and have surpassed my revenue goals. With certainty, I would not have achieved this without Lara by my side. She goes over and above with your best interest at heart and pushes you to succeed, without overwhelming you. The best part is that I have the work/life balance that I have always dreamed of! Thank you Lara. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful for all that you do!

Lara has been my business coach for a few years now. During that time, she has consistently challenged me to set goals and figure out how to reach them, and held me accountable for my plans and actions. I appreciate that she does not just ask what I want to do - she challenges me to think about what I really need and why, and how I can get those things. She also took the time to understand who I am and what motivates me before diving into coaching and planning.

Lara is lovely to work with. I appreciate her ability to coach me because she figured out how I work best. She is attuned to my unique work schedule and is always patient. We discuss changes that need to be made and then she waits until I am comfortable, but at the same time keeps me accountable and ensures what is being done is relevant. In the time we have worked together she has talked me through a new pricing model, implemented a better way to work with clients, and I hired an Executive Assistant – all positive changes that had to be done, but were done when I was ready and able to.
Lara is so easy to work with! She’s supportive and is a good sounding board through the many ups and downs of running a business. She is always ready and willing to talk things through with me.

Lara Wellman have been integral to a number of big decisions in my business in the past 6 months. I've worked with Lara in a couple one on one sessions and attended her 2017 Planning Day. She has helped give my business focus very quickly and has guided me through the process of making choices for it based on what I envision and what I want rather than what I thought I needed to do. In a short time I've found a passion for my industry that I thought I had lost and – even more importantly – a deep knowing of my value within it.
Thank you, Lara.

Wow! Wow! and WOW!! Thank YOU so much for this inspiring day. Not only did it get Unbridled Coaching in Giddy Up planning mode in advance, it was fantastic to have you as our sage Lead Mare and to go through the Virtual Planning Day with other Women Super Stars.
