You’ve put in the work, climbed the ladder, and proven yourself time and again—but now you're ready for a different kind of success.
Not the kind measured only by titles, accolades, or how much you can juggle without breaking. This new success allows you to achieve your goals, avoid burnout and live a life you desire.
Hi, I’m Lisa Schilling—a career coach and former HR executive. I’ve walked the path of success, and I know that career growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s not just about working harder or doing more—it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people who genuinely support and believe in you.
Throughout my career, I advanced not just because I delivered results, but because I built strong, authentic relationships with colleagues, leaders, and mentors. These relationships became my support system—my network of advocates who lifted me up, challenged me, and helped me navigate the toughest moments. They were the ones who saw my potential and pushed me to take bold steps when I wasn’t sure I could.
I didn’t make it alone—and neither should you.
Working Hard Was Important —But That Alone Didn't Get Me Promoted.
WHO I'M HERE FOR—
YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU ...
You've worked hard to get here—really hard. But now you're asking yourself, " What's it going to take to actually move forward from here?"
There's no magic bullet—but there is a smarter way forward that doesn't involve adding more hours to your already packed schedule. It starts with something most people overlook: your ability to build real, human connections at work.
And here's why that matters more than you think: When you know how to navigate relationships—whether it's with your boss, your peers, or your team—you open doors that hard work alone can't. You gain influence, build trust, and position yourself as someone others want to collaborate with and advocate for. These skills don't just get you ahead—they help you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your career.

What I Believe ...
True success is sustainable, relational, and rooted in who you are.
The professionals getting promoted are the ones who have mastered the art of being seen, heard, and trusted by decision-makers.
Leadership and confidence grow when you genuinely build strong work relationships and communicate effectively.
Perfectionism and burnout keep too many high-achievers stuck.
My Coaching Approach...
Career strategy isn't one-size-fits-all. I meet you were you are—and help you move forward with clarity.
We don't just talk résumés and roles (though we'll cover that too). I coach the whole you—so you can grow your career with the right relationships and strategies to avoid burnout along the way.
True Success is Sustainable,
Without a Side of Exhaustion.
The Secret to Getting Ahead
For years, I thought success meant being the most reliable person in every room—always on, always delivering, always holding it all together (even when I was quietly unraveling inside).
Turns out, the real turning point in my career was when I realized the necessity to build the kind of relationships that actually move you forward—the ones rooted in trust, respect, and strategic connection.
Not the surface-level networking events or schmoozing at 5 p.m. with a name tag, but the kind of everyday interactions that help people see you, support you, and advocate for your growth.
Now I help high-achievers like you do the same—because sustainable success isn’t about doing it all alone.
It 's not what you think.
