Career Coach | Unlock Your Growth Journey | Former Google Leader
Hi! I'm Lindsay Schultz, a Certified Professional Coach passionate about helping people navigate their life and career journeys with resilience, creativity, and confidence. I'm also a mom to three kids and a wife to my partner, Scott. For fun, I also volunteer my time at senior homes and hospitals with my certified therapy dog, Lydi! We all live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Before becoming a parent, I was a coach and also mentored people for a few decades. I hold degrees in Psychology and Organizational Studies from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I spent 14 years working at Google, helping businesses digitally adapt and transform to their customers' changing wants and needs. It was a fast-paced, ever-changing world as you can imagine. After 19 years in corporate America, I’ve shifted my focus to help you thrive in your career. The essence of my work is to empower growth, resilience, creative problem-solving, and confidence in people like yourself. My background in business, psychology, and technology combines in a unique way that dials in specifically to you. Through guided prompts, we workshop your story together and go from broad confusion to clarifying specific directions with actionable next steps you will know how to own. Your direction becomes more clear as you harness the 'right-fit' role or the next big goal in your life that aligns your values, interests, and desires. I am convinced that with the right mindset, openness to learning, life hacks, tools, and a strong support network, humans can overcome absolutely anything. That includes moving from confusion and chaos to clarity and alignment. I believe in the art of the possible and that we can rewire and reframe our approach to create better life experiences. My personal experiences have taught me how to overcome significant challenges and turn obstacles into opportunities. We have kids with multiple food allergies who navigate life daily and also had twins born weighing only two-pounds each. Through these battles, I choose resilience and empowerment. I bring this same determination and creativity to my coaching practice. I’m passionate about making space for your story, and committing my time to help you see how to get 'unstuck' so you can have forward progress and find fulfillment. What I Offer: Personalized Career Coaching: Customized sessions designed to meet your specific career needs, whether you’re seeking a new direction, aiming for a promotion, or transitioning into a new industry.
