THREE PATHWAYS
Work with Lora.
However you arrive here, I meet you exactly where you are
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
Personal high-performance coaching for ambitious people
“You don't have a performance problem. You have an alignment problem.”
You don’t need more insight.
You need to activate what you already know and execute at a higher level.
This is where we close the gap between potential and performance.
1:1 High-Performance Coaching
Personal coaching programmes
ACTIVATE performance tools & insights
Through a tailored, high-standard approach, you will:
Gain clarity in your thinking and direction
Build confidence that holds under pressure
Overcome internal barriers and self-doubt
Follow through consistently on what matters most.
TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS
High-performance coaching for leaders and teams
“Performance isn't what you do when it's easy. It's what you do when it isn't.”
When expectations are high, performance cannot be left to chance.
Lora works with organisations to raise standards, strengthen leadership and create teams that operate with clarity, alignment and accountability.
Corporate coaching

About Lora.

High-performance coaching

THE METHODOLOGY
There is often a point where everything looks like it is working, and yet something feels out of sync.
You are performing, delivering, progressing.
And still, there is another level in you.
The ACTIVATE Performance Model™
The model is made up of five performance activators that shape how you think, lead, and operate.
AT THE HEART
At the heart of
the model is
you.
Your strengths, your values, and the way you naturally lead.
This is where Gallup Strengths and VIA Character Strengths come in. They give language to what is already working within you.
This is not about becoming more of everything. It is about becoming more aligned.
This is a structured journey designed to strengthen each of these activators in a way that is practical and sustainable. Not by adding more, but by working with what is already there.
WHERE IT STARTS
A simple quiz shows your which activator is ready to be expanded
There is more in you.
THE ACTIVATE QUIZ
Ready to take action?
I see you. You're a high performer, leading a team, running a business, or both. You have the track record, the capability, and the ambition.
But something isn't quite hitting the mark, and every part of you knows that you're not playing fully at the level you are capable of.
This gap is not about lacking skill or talent. It's the space between your strengths and how effectively they're working for you.
This quiz is a tool for leaders and business owners like you, who know you're destined for more, but something keeps getting in the way, and you can't pinpoint exactly what that something is, or why it's happening.
Two minutes to a clearer picture of what to do next.

Chief of Staff | UHNW Executive Assistant | Private Office Director, USA
I have worked with Lora for the past 3+ years and through the process, she has helped me redefine my life goals, take control of my professional development and double down on my impact in a new sector.
Lora’s coaching doesn’t start and end on our calls - she is a great source of support when the unexpected crops up, be it a challenge or an opportunity.
I find Lora’s support invaluable and the benefit of coaching tangible. In the time I have been working with her I have moved countries, changed professions and embarked on a life changing adventure.
I regularly recommend Lora to friends, colleagues and the occasional stranger! Highly recommended!
And it all started with a free, discovery call in January 2020…..! -

Knowing and working with Lora, will make you a better person, at home, at work, on Earth.
She will unravel parts of your being, and put them back together again, just more efficient, more organized, more impactful, more meaningful.
To know Lora is to love her, I'm certain, and when you work with her, you learn to love yourself, your life, your colleagues and your family, in new ways.
In my experiences with Lora, I have gained a coach, a confidant, a thought partner, a challenger, a bringer of joy, perspective and hope. She's a coach, with super powers, who shows you ways to process superpowers of your own.
Work with Lora and enjoy the self-discovery journey she brings you on to unleash your impact as the best version of yourself in all facets of your life. Lora will leave permanent imprints in your life and challenge you to see new things and be better, both boldly and quietly.
I'm thankful I listened to my heart and sought her expertise and light.
I'm changed forever as a result of her presence in my life, and trust I will carry her as a compass on my journey, always.

Bob Hess
Vice Chairman, Global Corporate Services at Newmark, USA
There are many times in a career like mine of 30+ years where there needs to be an outside high quality perspective on what is next, where balance can be achieved business vs personal, and even involved discussions about legacy and relationships that matter, nurturing those.Lora is a coach that can span all these dimensions. She is passionate, well prepared, informed, so likeable but yet wonderfully challenging in the way she gets you to be present, in the moment, and to plan for what's next with reality, and stress test that.
Oh and I love her checkups, and accountability, like did you buy that Pontoon or why would you enter into any new dimension of your business and personal context without the energy and self care to keep your cup half full.
I have a life plan now because of Lora that is exciting, realistic and grounded in what will make me happy and fulfilled.
Lora is great, period.
