The Compass Your Young Person Needs, When It Matters Most
Ready or not, life after graduation comes fast,
and the decisions they make now shape what comes next.
A Career Planning Guide and a Framework You Can Trust
But along the way, she saw a troubling pattern:Too many young people were unsure of their direction—and it showed. They were overwhelmed by choices, confused about college majors, or pursuing paths that didn’t truly fit. Many were drifiting into the future aimless, others graduating underemployed, or stalling out altogether.
Lisa knew there had to be a better way.
Instead of guessing their way through these big decisions, young people needed a clear roadmap rooted in self-awareness and real-world insight. So Lisa went searching for the best tools to guide them—and after testing nearly every personality and career assessment available, she discovered her gold standard: The Birkman Method®.
In 2010, she began using Birkman with her college-bound clients, and it transformed everything. Rather than starting with majors or college lists, Lisa flipped the process. She helped students first understand their wiring, explore aligned careers, and then work backwards toward the right education or training—college, trade school, or otherwise.
That inverted model worked—and it worked powerfully.
By 2015, Lisa was expanding her reach, sharing her proven framework with schools, nonprofits, and mentoring programs. In 2020, she launched Flourish Coaching, a company dedicated to helping 15–25-year-olds gain career clarity before they commit time, energy, and money to the wrong path.
Through her signature Launch Career Clarity® course—alongside tools like The Birkman Method®, career exploration, job shadows, internships, and more—Lisa empowers young people to confidently move forward and build lives of purpose and possibility.

Praise from Parents and Educators
“We felt Isabel was heading down a wrong path and Charlie was overwhelmed by too many choices. The Birkman results with Lisa’s coaching where she has creative ideas, listens to your child, and asks probing questions left us excited. I think we are dealing in reality now. While we don’t want to place undue stress on kids to figure it all out, some thought and expense in high school could save us semesters of tuition in college.”
“You were amazing with [my daughter] and she loved talking with you!! You seriously have a gift! She’s decided to commit to UC and is probably going major in business and maybe minor is psych. And she wasn’t even thinking about that path until we saw you!”
“I believe a minuscule percentage of kids know what they want to do with the rest of their lives which could prolong their college career and their parents might be committing a $200,000 error! We partnered with Flourish Coaching and it’s a major victory for our clients to now head to college with a direction in mind.”
