    LFY Consulting, based in Chicago, IL, and Austin, TX, offers leadership, career, and empowerment coaching and consulting services for senior leaders and entrepreneurs that feel stuck or unfulfilled at work.

    They tend to be overworked, overwhelmed, or underutilized, while also lacking clarity, confidence, control, and self-alignment, and are unsure about next steps in terms of their work or business, and despite professional success do not feel successful.

    LFY Consulting bases its programs on two distinct and exclusive coaching systems, The Three C’s of Self Leadership© - Clarity, Confidence, and Control, and The LIVE System© - Life, Intentions, Values, and Expectations.

    The coaching process generally involves defining what you care about - your goals and values - then uses that clarity along with our unique systems to create greater confidence and control in your life that will guide you toward self-alignment and ultimately more meaningful work. Plus, we ensure that you understand the process so that you can lead yourself throughout the rest of your career and life. Start a conversation to find out more and how we can help.
