My Story: How I Came to Coaching

I came to coaching after finding myself in a secure job, well paid and totally miserable.

I had worked so hard to get where I was, but my job just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. Sunday evenings were full of anxiety: “work tomorrow” loomed. I knew I needed change but I couldn’t see the way forward.

I had lost trust in my inner voice and belief in myself.

Then I contacted a career coach. Everything changed.

Through coaching I found space to explore. I reconnected with what I truly wanted and made the bold decision to follow it. It was the first time I had ever really chosen for me.

That moment changed everything. And now, I help women do the same.

Because when you choose for you, with clarity and courage, you realign your career with your truth, joy and potential.

My Qualifications

I’m an award-winning women’s career management coach with a deep belief in lifelong learning and growth.

My background blends coaching mastery, business insight, and a genuine curiosity about what helps people thrive.

As an Associate Certified Coach (ICF) and recipient of ICF Ireland’s Rising Star Award, I’ve supported countless women to grow in confidence, clarity, and self-leadership.

I hold advanced certifications as an NLP Master Practitioner, mBIT Master Coach (Multiple Brain Integration Techniques), and PQ Certified Coach (Positive Intelligence®). These approaches allow me to draw from neuroscience, psychology, and practical business experience to help you create meaningful results.

Before founding Greenchair Coaching, I built my career in business and leadership, completing an MBA and later serving as Support Faculty Lead with Aspire Coach Training Ltd., mentoring coaches in training.

I also volunteer as a 1:1 coach and facilitator with Jobcare, supporting people as they rebuild confidence and return to meaningful work, something that deeply reflects my values.

“I’ve reached my goal… I’m over the moon! I’ve just signed my contract for my dream job. I feel like my career is kicking off once again. I can’t thank you enough for your help. It’s just been incredible.”

“Liisa's kind, patient, and empathetic approach helped me transform my negative lens into a positive and constructive one. She helped me focus on the aspects of my job and attitude that I could change and gave me the courage to follow my convictions.”

“I had just changed role when I started coaching, and Liisa guided me through the first few months. I lacked self-belief, but she helped me see that I was a valued member of the team and could implement positive change. I feel much more confident now”
