Project details
As your personal & professional development coach, I’ll help you clear your mind, identify priorities, and come up with a plan to get things done.
I’ll follow your rhythm, adapting my methods to your needs, and supporting you in achieving the goals you decide are important to you.
Unlike many coaches, I don’t have a formula to sell. I don’t believe in one-fits-all solutions. Whatever plan we come up with will be solely based on your ideas, hopes, and expectations.
Coaching sessions are great for:
• Clarity & Prioritization - your thoughts and priorities will become clear.
• Planning & Strategy - you’ll choose among concrete options and design a plan to get the best one done.
• Motivation & Accountability - over follow-up sessions, I’ll keep you motivated and accountable so you can stay on track or adjust your plan.
We can work on the following (and more):
• Goal Setting
• Decision Making
• Energy/Time Management
• Skill/Habit Development
• Transitions/Changes
Coaching is about self-empowerment. I won’t try to fix you because, from where I stand, you aren’t broken. You’ll feel free to speak your mind and uncover your true potential over our sessions.

Beta Reader Needed – Upmarket / Literary Thriller (Subtle Speculative, Agent-Ready)
Lucy provided a thoughtful and well-balanced beta read that was both insightful and practical. Her feedback stood out for how clearly she identified where the story was working and where it needed more clarity or grounding, without losing sight of the overall reading experience. She has a strong instinct for pacing and reader engagement, and her notes helped highlight moments where tension could be strengthened or where the narrative could be made more accessible. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out issues while also reinforcing what was effective, making the feedback both constructive and motivating.
Her perspective has been genuinely valuable in shaping the next stage of revisions, and I’d highly recommend her to any writer looking for clear, reader-focused feedback that improves both structure and flow.
