What do you do?
I provide a career coaching experience and help you access your extended mind to see yourself clearly and gain insight into your skills and relationship with the world of work. Sessions help you look back on the skills you have developed so far, see the preferences that make you who you are, and will help you look forward to what you want to be and do in the world of work.
This coaching experience will help you begin making choices that are a good match for you now and will help create a “go forward” strategy you can build upon throughout your lifetime.

This 2-hour session is designed for the first stage of exploration. We are often told “the answers are within you” but it can be slippery figuring out how the heck to find them. This session will help reveal the “you” that is hiding behind your logical mind.
I especially recommend this session if you are 17-25 years old and want to figure out what to study at school and what you will “do” as a career.

Why work with Lori?
In early 2000, I took a career development certificate and began pursuing my lifelong interest in how people achieve career satisfaction. I started career coaching as a “side hustle” and I have never wanted to stop. I have worked in the occupations of instructional design, team and leadership development, change management and executive coaching. For some unexplained reason, I read job postings in the Globe and Mail Saturday edition for more than a decade…..all of this has created a vast knowledge base of occupations and the people who choose them.
My own career provided me with the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of positions in a variety of industries. These include:
Healthcare - Alberta Healthcare Services
Transportation - Canadian Pacific Railway
Education - Calgary Board of Education and SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology)
Technology - SMART Technologies
Energy (Oil and Gas) - Husky Energy
Credentials:
Executive Coaching Certificate - Royal Roads University (for many years I held a PCC
credential with the International Coaching Federation)
Career Development Certificate - University of Calgary
Master’s Degree - Learning and Technology - Royal Roads University
When I came to Lori for career coaching, I had just decided not to return to University after my first semester of Kinesiology. After the semester, I knew the program wasn’t a good fit for me. I wasn’t sure what my next move should be. Meeting with Lori was a turning point for me. The process was fun, like meeting with a friend. I felt seen and heard. Lori was able to help me hone in on my love of helping others. She helped me identify the need for a practical, professional degree that would allow me to help people directly and to eventually move into leadership and management roles. Lori encouraged me to job shadow a few Registered Nurses, and I fell in love with nursing. I have been an RN for 11 years and have a Master of Public Health in Health Policy and Management. I moved away from clinical practice after obtaining my master’s degree and have worked on some large health policy projects. Now, I am working as a Clinical Informatics Lead at Alberta Health Services, implementing Connect Care, one of the largest health information technology transformations in Canada.
