About Laura Lillie

My purpose and passion in life is people and their potential.  I have always been fascinated with what makes individuals unique, what makes them tick and why we are each the way we are.

 

I am British born and lived in the UK before relocating to Canada in October 2018. I am firmly placed in Toronto, and have built a home here with my partner and our dog, Billie.

​

I grew up with parent with Bi Polar depression, I've hit my rock bottom, I've moved countries with no friends, family or a home, I've built a career from HR Assistant to Head of HR (without a degree) and am grateful for every single moment because it made me who I am today - and I'm proud of her! 

​

After starting out my career in Equestrian, I experienced great coaching, trainers and mentorship. At the age of 19, I faced challenges both personally and professionally, but through challenge comes great change. During this time, I pivoted my career in to Human Resources and jumped head first into a multitude of different industries, from automotive, outdoor advertising, talent acquisition, shipping & freight and digital accessibility.

 

Over the last 10 years, I have seen and done a lot. Throughtout my career in HR; I've designed and implemented foundational human centric structures, partnered with hundreds of first time and seasoned managers, developed cultures and created environments that drove true personal development. I was able to start my coaching journey here and it only made me hungrier for more. Which brings me to now, my next pivot.... in 2023.

After a number of years of exploring my own professional and personal journey and supporting human centric cultures and development in business, my soul was drawn to coaching more exclusively. I have explored many methods and modalities and the two that have resonated with me the most are the Co-Active Coaching model and the Human Design modality. These two powerful tools allow me to connect with people on a granular level to help them understand themselves, their intricacies, their needs and ultimately how to use their authenticity to their advantage both personally and professionally.

 

We are well and truly living in the digital age and the boundaries or work and life are all too easily blurred. The transition from individual contributer to manager isn't easy. My focus for business is partnering with the first time and middle management layers and developing leaders to harness their strengths and be truthfully aware about where they have room to grow and expand into great leaders. 

 

I am ultimately driven by your greatness; working with you to guide, coach and encourage you to live your most fulfilling life and be the being you came here to be - and enjoying it. 

 

If you are ready to stop apologizing for who you are, and start raising your self awareness and not just people pleasing, then I am ready to jump on board for you.
