Lisa Beaty

I’m Lisa Beaty, an ICF certified coach. I consider myself a partner to clients who want to bring their best self to the work that they are passionate about. Often, high performers get to a place where what made them successful is no longer working like it used to. An expanding career don’t just require new skills, it requires a greater internal capacity (how we think and feel in response to our challenges). Together, we will explore not just new skills but new ways of thinking and being that will help you to navigate increasing complexities. Available Times: |

Unlock your inner voice, evoke self-awareness, and learn how to keenly listen to your intuition and experience personal evolution in the process. Hi, I’m Tiffany! I’m more of a root-cause type of coach who enjoys a deeper exploration of what surrounds the need the client has. I believe that most situations develop because of something else and intuitively you have the answers. I’m curious about what’s underneath the concern and what narrative plays in your mind regarding the concern. Because I am a social worker, I ensure that my clients have a deep, rich, meaningful, and fulfilling life—which includes your work life. My coaching holds space for your transformation. No one deserves that more than you. Available Times: |

Education, learning and personal development is at the heart of Melissa’s 24-year professional career. Whether it was working with low-income, first-generation high school students or executives in business and government, she compassionately walked alongside people as they journeyed to become their truest, highest and fullest expression of self. This passion for helping others unearth their deep wisdom, power and potential is what inspired Melissa to go through the inviteCHANGE program in 2021. Melissa spent over two decades as an administrator at several colleges and universities across Washington State, and now works on a learning and development team at a large tech company. As a second-generation educator, Melissa credits her family and community for instilling in her the value of learning, of interconnection and of paying it forward. With a strong commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion, she continues to seek ways to close opportunity gaps and has a passion for working with underrepresented groups. Melissa’s coaching approach is fueled by authentic curiosity, deep wonder and compassionate support. She serves as a mirror that reflects back to you your fullness, your strength, your wisdom and your infinite ability. She holds sacred and safe space for you while you move through your own growth, realizations and healing. Originally from the state of Hawai‘i, Melissa is a proud graduate of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. After graduating with her Bachelor’s degree in Ethnic Studies, she moved to Seattle to complete a year of national service with the Americorps program, and later went on to complete a Master of Education degree at Seattle University. Melissa’s tie to her Hawai’i roots remains strong, and she still dances hula (both ancient kahiko and modern ‘auana style) and plays ukulele with family and friends whenever possible. In her spare time, she enjoys feeding her curiosity around plants, herbs and ancient healing practices, as well as finding fun outlets for her creative spirit. Time Zone: PST |

Lauren Bronson

After a decade of practicing as a trial lawyer, Lauren felt her energy depleted and burned out. Taking a deep dive inward, she came to understand and nurture the parts of herself that she'd disconnected from on her quest to be the "perfect" version of who she thought she should be. By becoming aware of the parts of herself "running the show", she found her own powerful authentic voice and what makes her heart sing. Time Zone: PST |
Emma Pineda Fortin
 Click here to watch Emma's intro video in Spanish and in English. |
Emma is a professional somatic coach, specializing in partnering with multicultural leaders so that they can lead with confidence and ease. As a somatic leadership coach, she brings her lived experience as a queer person of color, executive, and scientist. Her background in engineering, tech, and entrepreneurship combined with her training as a somatic coach provides the ability to bridge between the brain and the body /heart.
She believes that all humans are born whole and carry the wisdom of their ancestors in both their conscious and unconscious selves. Unfortunately, we are socialized into various cultures that gradually obscure these truths and push them to conform to pre-established molds. She believes that coaching is one way to break free from this cycle of socialization and enter the cycle of liberation, as referenced in Bobbie Harro's work. She believes that coaches facilitate an individual's reclamation of their wholeness. As a coach, her role is to be present, listen and understand, reflect, identify patterns, and challenge in the service of the client’s evolution. She holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University, and her experience ranges from software consultant to COO of a mission-driven e-commerce startup. She is certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC), trained at InviteChange and the Somatic Wilderness Institute.
Emma inspires the courage to re-define beliefs based on an internal compass, resulting in higher clarity, creativity, and compassion in the ways her clients lead at home and at work. Time Zone: PST |
