COACHING

"When I started working with Lynnea, I was looking for help to reset my personal goals, and refine them with clear intent. After a few months of working with Lynnea, I have greater insight into what I want, why and how to get there. The entire process was very informative; enabled me to identify what I do/don't want in my life, and sort thru current issues.   The reminder to meditate and practice gratitude was most empowering. I am currently using what I learned to stay on track with all of my goals, and have a point of reference to measure progress. The results and surprises I got were: an amazing plan that is exciting and fun; I’m achieving my near term goals!  I still tend to over commit, but am now catching myself to reset expectations for myself and others as needed.  AND I don't feel bad about resetting those expectations, where I used to beat myself up. Having Lynnea as my guide thru this process was a wonderful and supportive experience.  The timing was perfect for me!"
M.P., Fremont, CA

"Thank you again for the great coaching session. I definitely feel blessed with meeting great people like yourself. You brought out some very difficult emotional issues that I’m faced with and I really appreciate your kind words and advice. With your experience and knowledge, you have the great ability to net things out very quickly. Very impressive."
Donald W, Vice President., Bank of America

"I recently had an opportunity to speak by telephone with Lynnea Hagen.  I do not know Lynnea but was referred to her as a "person I should make connection with".  I was able to connect immediately with Lynnea whose listening ability and  comments merged so beautifully with my story and with my explanation of my calling and purpose in life.  It was a lovely experience, I have had many moments to reflect on our conversation and to review the notes I took during our conversation. I felt blessed to have connected with Lynnea.  She expanded my thinking and redirected me to reframe some of my thoughts. Also she has a very musical, beautiful speaking voice which was so relaxing  to listen  to."

"I would like say that Lynnea is an inspiring and influential coach. If you are ready to focus on “you”, then hiring Lynnea as a resource will be one of the best things you can do for yourself. I sought out Lynnea’s service because I felt stuck. I wanted change in my life, but I was having a difficult time organizing my thoughts. My ultimate goal was to put together a personal/business plan. I feel like I found much more than I ever intended to find. I found a valuable resource to listen to me and help me organize my thoughts through the coaching process. I feel a lot more clear headed now. I have a clear understanding of my needs and values and understand how important it is to stay true to them. The tolerations concept helped me a lot. So much of my mindshare was consumed by the things I was putting up with in my life at home and at work. As I closed on those things, it allowed me to focus more on me and what I want for my life. Another thing that really helped me was the questions posed to me to consider as I journaled about different aspects of my life and what I want out of those aspects of my life. I continue to address things that I am procrastinating about or are draining my energy. I keep my personal/business plan in front of me as a constant reminder of my vision, mission, and objectives. It helps keep me focused on making the right decisions for me.
I continue to journal about what I envision for each aspect of my life. It’s a very powerful exercise. The main surprise for me was how much mindshare was taken up by the things I was putting up with in my life. As I closed on those things, it allowed me to focus more and more on me and what I want for my life. It seems so simple, but very powerful. My coaching experience resulted in a one page personal/business plan that I keep in front of me always. Another surprise was that once I completed my personal/business plan I started to recognize opportunities that I didn’t see before, which resulted in me obtaining a new job in an area that I want to work in. I would like say that Lynnea is an inspiring and influential coach. If you are ready to focus on “you”, then hiring Lynnea as a resource will be one of the best things you can do for yourself."

"During our time together in her free coaching session, Lynnea asked me some very relevant questions about my business so she was sure she understood what I do and where I am going. And then she was able to provide some very tangible, specific suggestions and language to help me take the next step with my goal. I recommended taking advantage of her services while she is offering a free session."

"Today Lynnea and I had a tele-conversation to discuss my skin care business and the challenges I have. In just the short time we spent, I was able to come out with ideas of how to present a more concise presentation to new clients on why they should care about their skin and some ideas how to market my treatment series. This was just a few items we discussed. She was professional and very helpful. I would definitely suggest contacting Lynnea to see how she can help you grow your business."

“Working with Lynnea was such fun. Her facile ability to explore and capture my business “intentions” was enlightening, and now we have our comprehensive business plan- all on one page!”
Peter Lyon, Lyon Construction

"By utilizing Lynnea's services:

• For the first time, I was able to evaluate and dispense of distracting "tolerances". I learned 4 degrees of delegation. I created a Business Plan and articulated a core marketing message. I involved employees in the process and obtained "buy-in" to our newly formulated VISION, MISSION, and VALUES. I utilized a professional evaluation process in a new hire, and used the same process for existing staff to understand how we complimented/conflicted with each other.
• In addition to peace of mind, I have been able to consistently market ourselves. I was able to manage and resolve a difficult staffing problem. Our revenues grew and our margins increased by involving everyone.
• I doubt whether I would have been able to remain in business during the recession without the strategic plan we implemented."

Bob Pfahnl, President, Quantera Systems, Accounting and ERP Software www.quanterasystems.com

You gave me a kick-start to look at what I needed to change in my life. (The program) energized me, and helped me develop higher standards with myself, with others, and in my business.”

BUILD-A-BIZ PROGRAM

We thought that we had a good Business Plan. But Lynnea showed us that we really didn’t have a plan at all, but rather day to day ‘reactions’ to our customers’ needs. She helped us to focus more specifically on where we wanted to be, how we were going get there, and when we expected to reach that goal. A very effective workshop, highly recommended for those serious about building a business.
Chuck & Judy Smith, Crosswind Machining, Inc.

I found it very helpful how the workshop was broken down into sections. I'm a Realtor, and I could easily apply it to my business; I believe ANY business would find this beneficial. Perfect for both start-up and established businesses. The provided materials are excellent and Lynnea's teaching style is straight-forward. She will get you where you need to be!
Kelly King, Real Estate Agent

I love using the One Page Business Plan. It's accurate and all-encompassing. Lynnea had great ideas and lots of one-on-one attention.
Maria Guardado, Mortgage Broker

I attended the first session in the Lynnea Hagen "Power Plan Blitz" series and was very impressed by the depth of her knowledge and the quality of her giveaway/workbook materials. One can see that she really cares about helping participants come up with a succinct, meaningful plan to move their business planning to the next level. I would recommend this series to anyone starting a new business, or looking for ways to focus attention back to an existing business.
Barbara Oertli, Visual Designer

This workshop is wonderful...I took the first one so far & it was very helpful in truly making me think about what I want & where I want to go with my business. Actually, this course could be applied to any type of goals one wants to create in their life...even with kids & school! Pass this information to anyone you know who could benefit from knowing how to get where they want to go.
