Joining Coaching Outside the Box Level 1 program was a game-changer for me. It boosted my skills in asking the right questions and staying present in conversations. I learned how to truly listen, which improved my interactions in general. I'd highly recommend this program to anyone looking to up their coaching game and communication skills.

Working with Lucia on my journey to PCC certification was a game-changer. Her ability to distill deep knowledge into clear, actionable insights is remarkable. She shared her expertise generously, with an analytical and concrete approach that resonates with my background and way of thinking. Every Dojo left me with tangible insights to reflect on and apply. Lucia’s mentorship has not only sharpened my coaching but also made the learning process genuinely rewarding.

The Level 1 program has been a transformational journey for me, not only teaching me about coaching but helping me build the skills that I can apply in my daily work. Whether you want to get certified or you just want to learn, you will never look at the world the same way again. It’s like one of those optical illusion games. Once you have seen it, you cannot un-see it!

Lucia played an important role in my journey as a non-profit leader. She helped me gain increased awareness and shifted my perspective on challenges that I faced in my work. Through her coaching, I uncovered strengths within myself and that I hadn't known existed! I learned to be both kind to myself and firm in the priorities I set for my life and work. I would highly recommend Lucia as a coach!

The Level 2 programme guided me, step by step, in developing a coaching mindset through an effective balance of theoretical teaching, supporting materials, and practical experience, all accompanied by professional, open, direct, and enlightening feedback. It has been an individual journey of shared discovery, revealing both my own potential as a coach and that of my fellow participants.

The Coaching Dojo helped me gain clarity about the ICF competencies and the PCC markers in a structured, step-by-step manner. Although overcoming the fear of coaching publicly can be challenging, receiving feedback has been incredibly beneficial for my growth. I also particularly appreciated the sample questions for each PCC Marker that Lucia provided, as they clarify how to effectively integrate them into my practice.

Lucia has been the catalyst for a revolutionary change. Her passion and experience have challenged us constantly to improve the value we provide to the business. The biggest change of thinking has been seen in the culmination of the delivery being managed by self organising teams committing to deadlines based upon predictable capacity. Lucia’s coaching has been key in getting us to the point whereby we were able to change the culture of team organisation.

I attended the Level 1 program and it has brought me both in my personal and professional life. With their teaching and mentorship, the trainers provided me with confidence and a safe place to practice and learn. The coaching skills I have learned, and continued learning, have been a great catalyst to being an effective coach and a better person all around. Thank you Lucia and Team!

I've gained invaluable insights into professional coaching competencies during the Dojo. Each session has provided me with meaningful tips that are immediately applicable. The learning environment, both challenging and supportive, allowed me to grow professionally and develop a more nuanced understanding of coaching principles. I'm grateful for Lucia's expert guidance and the collaborative spirit of our group. This course has been a game-changer and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone serious about becoming an exceptional coach.

Lucia is a phenomenal coach and helped me find more calm and peace as I tackled the never-ending to-do list of starting a company. She is brilliant and kind, and I would highly recommend working with her if there's an area of your life that you'd like to take to the next level.

Lucia created self-awareness of our needs through conversations where we could reflect and expose challenges impacting our effectiveness. Through multiple rounds of these coaching sessions, we identified techniques to improve performance. Lucia maintained balanced, unbiased views periodically reassessing the teams maturity level and guiding them through a continuous improvement approach until they became to do it themselves.

There are so many facets to coaching and each new area of learning creates new approaches and skills to bring to your clients. The learning in the Mindfulness Coaching course is quite unique and hugely impactful in enabling your clients to extend their perspective and deepen their self-awareness. I've not seen this approach taught anywhere else. Maria and Lucia have something very special to offer - take it!

Lucia helps Marley Spoon in many ways - one of them is improving cross-functional collaboration among product, engineering and domain experts on digital products. We lean on her to coach teams to align on better ways of working and spend time on the highest value problems. Lucia is an ace facilitator and supported the executive team during offsites.
