About Me - LTE Coaching

Lauren Thomas Ewing, MBA, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

My Story

Though I had been coaching others for years in my spare time, I was first motivated to start a coaching business back in 2013. It was at a time in my life where by all appearances I was on a strong trajectory with my career yet I still felt burned out, constrained, unmotivated, unfulfilled. And why? Because I realized that I was running someone else’s race, climbing somebody else’s ladder, and accommodating somebody else’s definition of success. My life no longer felt like my own.

I had an awakening of sorts, and systematically worked on transitioning my life to one of more purpose, personal power, and authenticity. I’m a parent now (two times over), and with that brought new transitions and reflections about the meaning of partnership, parenthood, and retaining my sense of self in a world of dynamic changes. We are all works in progress, and I am motivated to help you navigate your path your way as I continue to work hard every day to renew and reinforce my own.

My Qualifications

I have over 20 years of professional experience:

I am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC)/Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP) from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
I hold an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation.
I’ve worked at corporations like Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte Consulting, Pepsi-Cola North America, and Google, and have supported clients in the public and private sector both as a consultant and coach.
I have an AB in Psychology from Harvard University, MBA in Marketing and Strategy from Duke University, and a Certificate in Human Resources Management from George Mason University.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe that we are all wiser than we given ourselves credit for. You know yourself better than anyone else, and my job is to hold up the mirror to show what truths your comments reflect. With that clarity, we can move forward with determining the best course of action for you.

I believe that the energy we put out into the world gets reflected back to us in various ways. Being aware of how you are showing up in different contexts is often the best first step for learning how to amplify your presence and better connect with others.

I also believe that there are lessons to be learned in all experiences, positive or negative, that can help you break any unhealthy patterns that might be blocking your progress. Introspection is critical for growth and transformation.

Finally, I see myself as your accountability partner. I am here to support you in moving forward, keeping up the momentum to whatever extent you find most effective. You hold the keys and are in the driver’s seat; I can help you plot out your journey so that you can steer the course.
