Hey there! I'm
​
As a female professional in a male-dominated industry who successfully climbed from Receptionist to Executive Vice President, I navigated a myriad of hurdles and climbed multiple rungs achieving both financial and reputation success (top 10% of U.S. wage earners and Charlotte Business Journal's Women in Business Achievement Award recipient).
Over my 25+ year professional journey, I have learned many lessons about myself, organizations, leadership, and people. I want to share these lessons with you to make business better for everyone. Now more than ever, individuals long to be seen and valued. Too often non-traditional talent like me (think women, racially diverse, young people, introverts, etc.) are overlooked for promotions and high visibility projects. I want to coach you to build and promote your strengths to gain the recognition and lifestyle you desire.
Through coaching, mentoring, and experience, I was able to identify my gaps and work to close them, expand my network and leverage it for my career growth, and clarify my values and live them. And I want this for you too!
Founder and Head Coach at Look Up Coaching, LLC. I coach growth-minded professionals at all stages of career to lead well, get recognized, and thrive. I’m a retired Fortune 200 Executive, an entrepreneur, certified facilitator, Senior Professional of Human Resources, and a degreed educator.

Lucille,
Partnering successfully with a coach is personal and beyond credentials, you want someone you connect with and truly trust. It's time to let down your defenses, invite fresh perspectives in and be vulnerable - you’re safe to grow with me (I’m not in the political quagmire of your organization, remember?!). So here is a little bit about me, beyond the "Business Lucille".
I find my greatest joy in helping other self-starters reach their goals - when they are willing to work hard, take chances, and be real. I truly enjoy sharing lessons I’ve learned to help others arrive at or surpass my achievements faster (and with less bruises!) than I did. I feel energized coaching others to become who they want to be…as long as they are willing to honestly explore themselves. This connection fuels success - your success and mine.
I am a learner who strives to do better every day and expand my impact; the older I get the more I desire to learn and re-think to experience growth. I am a competitor, and have seen the victories of training hard, developing my skills, and seeking and applying input from others. The most successful leaders I've known are those self-aware enough to prepare for, and embrace, ongoing improvement. Perfectionism hinders excellence.
I’m unwilling to separate faith from living (even in business!) - I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work for me. Don’t worry, I’ve coached many “religion isn’t for me” leaders, and they find that my integrity, authenticity, and genuine care shines just as brightly for their leadership journey. Integrity and authenticity are at my core, and I’ll choose that path every time. Authenticity is empowering.
