About Lindsay
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. Resume and LinkedIn Optimization: Creating impactful resumes and LinkedIn profiles that highlight your strengths and attract potential employers. Interview Preparation: Equipping you with the skills and confidence to excel in job interviews and secure your desired position. Career Transition Guidance: Providing support and strategies to ensure a successful and fulfilling career change. Life Coaching: Supporting you to find clarity, motivation, and an actionable plan for achieving your goals.
Why do I coach?
I believe in the transformative power of coaching. Through each step of my own journey, I can name all the ways coaching has profoundly shaped me firsthand. It has helped me navigate confusing career transitions, enhance my self-awareness, and learn to set and achieve meaningful goals. I've also developed many transferable skills, such as leadership and communication, and found a healthier work-life balance. Coaching has provided me with the accountability I needed to stay on track and strategies to overcome obstacles. These experiences have fueled my passion for coaching, and I am dedicated to helping others unlock their potential and achieve their 'right fit' roles and 'right-step' momentum too.
