Client Testimonials

“Insightful  and skilled communicator are the words that come to mind when I think  about Lisa Walker, Phd. I’ve had the pleasure of working professionally  with Dr. Walker for many years, during which I was able to observe these  qualities in action with our mutual clients. 

Recently, when facing a  challenge at work and a loss of confidence, I sought Dr. Walker’s help  to navigate from the uncertainty I felt toward specific professional  goals. Having now worked with Dr. Walker as my executive coach, I have  been impressed with her ability to nudge me forward through challenging  self-reflection and specific tasks that have enabled me to shift my  perspective and move me toward my specific goals. Her positive and  encouraging nature have made the work easier although I would not  characterize the work as simple or easy. 

If you are open to learning  more about yourself, boosting your productivity, and are ready to do the  work, Dr. Walker is an outstanding executive coach who can provide you  with the positive support, feedback, and challenge to get you where you  want (or need) to go.”

“Dr.  Walker has been instrumental in helping me grow significantly both  professionally and personally. She is an incredible listener who listens  to not just what you’re saying but more importantly, what is left  unsaid. Her insightful questions help me dig deeper into the very core  of the issue. She is never afraid to challenge my long-held beliefs,  assumptions and patterns of behavior that are no longer serving me well.  I especially liked how she suggests one specific actionable item to  focus on, at the end of each session. She coaches in a very genuine,  caring and positive manner that it’s always so pleasant even when  talking about the most vulnerable topics. As a result, I’ve become more  self-aware than ever before, I am a better leader at work, and I can  honestly say my life has become fuller and happier in every aspect. She  is an exceptional coach that I would highly recommend her.”

“When  I first started working with Lisa Walker, I was a mess. Plain and  simple. On the outside no one could tell, but on the inside, I was  falling apart. My sense of self had hit rock bottom and it was affecting  my work in ways that had begun to scare me. I knew it was only a matter  of time before my practice would be seriously affected, not to mention  my personal life. I had worked with Lisa on a few occasions in the past  and saw firsthand how she facilitated some of the most intense and  complicated family law matters and was truly impressed by her work. To  be frank, my lawyer colleagues were always happy when she was on a case  because we knew her expertise, her approach, her strength and her heart  would ensure that we would not lose our minds and our clients would  receive the best support and counsel.

When  I found out that Dr. Walker had expanded her services to include  Executive Coaching, I jumped at the opportunity to work with her. I know  many other coaches in town, but I know she has the breadth of  experience I needed to get me through this rough patch. As soon as we  started the engagement she immediately made me feel better about myself.  With her I reflected on what had gotten me to this place, I then  determined my goals and we developed a plan and got to work. She made me  feel smart and I soon realized that I had the answers to my questions  all along. I just didn’t always know the right questions to ask or how  to ask them. We used a couple of self-assessments to help shine a light  on things I could not see very clearly in myself. That was a game  changer as it provided even more depth of understanding of why I do the  things I do. We then set out to work on areas that needed improvement.

My  self-confidence has soared and I now feel as if there is nothing I  can’t handle. This did not happen over night. Lisa motivated me to do  the work and I stuck with it. I’m so happy I did. I’m loving my work and  my law practice is experiencing one of its best years. As a bonus, the  skills I’ve developed to manage myself and my relationships with my law  partners and clients have also produced amazing fruits in my personal  life. I highly recommend Lisa Walker.”

“Lisa Walker is incredibly perceptive  and sharp, and has an energizing presence. I am continually impressed  by her ability to distill important nuances from confusion, and address  the root of the matter. In addition to being a person of substance, she  has a creative and fun personality, and is a pleasure to work with.”

“Throughout a long and arduous  family ordeal, a large team of “professionals” can be required: lawyers,  accountants, business and financial consultants, etc. In our  particularly complicated case, law enforcement and the courts were also  part of the picture. Dr. Walker was brought in to facilitate the  process. She was genuinely the most dedicated, gifted and effective  professional I worked with over the course of a painful and expensive  3-year journey. 

Dr. Walker has an impressive…..and  all too rare…. combination of skills.  She is obviously highly  credentialed and educated, which is just the beginning. She has palpable  positive energy, she knows her subject matter, does her homework on  each individual aspect of her cases, powerfully articulates problems,  objectives, proposed solutions, and, in so doing, earns the trust,  respect and confidence of all parties in the process. Dr. Walker is  indeed tough, and doesn’t back down from the “heavy lifting”. She also  ensured that we did a great deal of the “heavy lifting” as well.   Her  no-nonsense way of dealing with intricately complicated issues is  balanced with compassion and commitment shining through all the  challenging moments. You gave us hope and visibility toward a more  stable future that is hard to put into words.”
