Life & Career Design Catalyst for Designing Futures and Empowering Transitions

Strategic Partner for Financial Planners and Higher Education Leaders

I started Lightvision Coaching because I kept seeing the same problem: people were working hard and doing all the “right” things — but still felt lost. Students picked majors out of pressure. Professionals climbed ladders that led somewhere they didn’t actually want to go. Retirees hit their financial goals and then asked, “Now what?”

The missing piece was almost always the same: they had never stopped to ask what they truly wanted. That’s what I help people figure out.

My story

I’ve spent 40 years working in higher education and business leadership. Along the way, I’ve made my own big career changes — and I know firsthand how confusing those moments can be.

Over time, I noticed something: the questions that help a college student choose the right path are the exact same questions that help a 60-year-old figure out what retirement should look like. The tools are the same. The need is the same. Only the context changes.

That discovery became the foundation of everything I do at Lightvision.

What makes this different

Most career coaches focus on your résumé, job search strategies, and interview techniques. Most financial planners focus on your money more. Others may have some life planning tools but not the balance of personal development with a culminating document and approach for you to move forward with more confidence and clarity.

I focus on you — your values, your energy, your strengths, and what kind of life you actually want to live with a deeper look at what is hidden.

I call this Life Designing. It’s a step-by-step process that helps you see yourself more clearly, make better decisions, and build a plan that’s truly yours — not one copied from someone else’s idea of success.

Legacy isn’t just what you leave behind. It’s how you live today.

Examples of what we work on together

• Alignment and Energy Audit — We look at how you spend your time and energy, and whether it matches what you say matters most to you.
• Values, Strengths, and Story — Beyond a simple selection approach, we go deeper to bring out more of YOU!
• Relational alignment — For couples, I help you have the honest conversations about your individual goals, shared resources, and how to support each other through big transitions.
• Financial planning support — I work alongside your financial planner to make sure your money goals are built on your real values — not just assumptions about what you’re supposed to want.
