What Our Clients Have To Say:

At The Select Group, we are focused on helping our employees grow in business and in life. Lydia’s ability to coach and mentor our future leaders has been instrumental in building a culture of trust, learning, development, and has helped increase confidence and performance for those who have the opportunity to work with her.

George Karakostantis CEO, The Select Group

Lydia had made a massive impact on both my personal life and the development of my skills as an executive and leader. Her coaching and support have helped me break through limitation, understand specific areas where I need to work on myself, and she has challenged me to prioritize growth as a leader. Her insights and wealth of knowledge have helped to enhance my decision making, strategic thinking, and overall vision. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to push their game to the next level.

Josh Mastel, President at Innovien

Lydia is a highly effective executive coach! I had the privilege of working with her in 2022 and early 2023, and found her insights to be invaluable. Her counsel on topics such as leadership, partnering, cross-functional collaboration, and communications was always clear, actionable, and contextual. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I look forward to doing so again."

Carey Boethel President, Allied Universal Technology Services

Through Influence Coaching, I enhanced my ability to effectively communicate the value and potential of [new initiative] pilots to key leaders. Initially, we aimed for 4 pilots but have now expanded to 14, identifying $2.36M in synergies. The initial pilots exceeded expectations, and I leveraged those results to build momentum and inspire other leaders to participate. Given the challenging nature of these pilots, it required significant influence to help leaders see the long-term benefits and get excited about making these tough but impactful decisions.

Eric McGarty, Executive Vice President of Operational Business Transformation, Allied Universal
