In times of challenge, Lucia has helped me navigate deftly and reach successful resolution. You have helped me to help my team be more successful and to navigate challenging people. I am eternally grateful for the role you have played in my life and career.

If you are considering working with Lucia, my advice is run, don’t walk, to work with her while she has spots. You won’t find a better, wiser, and more experienced coach than Lucia.

Sonny Garg – Senior Vice President and Chief Information & Innovation Officer

CfHP has delivered outstanding results for us. Following a very large M&A, Lucia and her team worked with our new executive IT leadership team to collaboratively develop a multi-year strategic plan. What was most important beyond the end product, from my perspective, was that the process they used built trust among the new leadership team and forged the bonds needed both to develop a plan and execute it.
