Coaching
“I came to Lori looking for help managing stress from work. Lori’s coaching helped me in so many more ways. First, she took the time to learn about me. Then, using the enneagram personality test, we identified strengths and growth areas. Lori then created a tailored coaching plan with 7-8 actions I could take over the course of our time working together.
My coaching plan consisted of an in-depth review of my enneagram report which contained helpful details about myself like communication styles, feedback preferences, relationship tips, and existing strain levels. Articles and books to read about inner critics and learning to let go. She also recommended a 28-day meditation program, grounding exercises, and so much more.
Ultimately, I ended my time with Lori enriched in unexpected ways. I am able to set clearer boundaries with time and people in my life. I am able to relax and find joy in aspects of life beyond work. The best part is that I know myself better and have the tools to manage stressful situations moving forward.
I would strongly recommend Lori to anyone dealing with burnout. But I also think Lori is a great coach for any time in your life, even if you just want to be a better version of yourself.”
Caroline, Senior Corporate Counsel, Fortune 500 company
“In a time of great change and uncertainty in my life, Lori gave me numerous tools and helped me digest the Enneagram report in a way that allowed me to control and channel my emotions and thoughts. I was always looking forward to the sessions and felt energized after each session talking with Lori.”
Sophie DeGreen
“Lori was a great coach. Her personalized plan not only taught me a lot about myself, it also pushed me outside of my comfort zone, forcing me to grow within my personal and professional life! Highly recommend!!”

“Thank you Lori! Your gifts of Devotion, Integrity, Perceptiveness, Compassion, Discernment, Excellence and Steadfastness are your strong foundation for an effective coach, and wonderful person!”

“Lori has been my coach at two different times over the past 3 years. We did our initial session over about 6 months and she really was able to pinpoint the areas of my life that I needed to focus on and overcome some old issues in order to really move forward as I wanted. I continue many of the practices still today that she and I discussed - daily journaling, stopping and feeling what my body wants versus overanalyzing everything in my mind, listening to my heart and what I really want - putting myself and my needs first, prioritizing self-care as it improves my relationships with others when I take care of myself. We recently completed another 3 months of coaching as I was entering a point in my career where I was going to make a significant change. I have just started this transition into finding my path but Lori helped me get started by helping me understand my strengths, interests, and what excites me. Making a significant change in my career after 25 years of working in one industry will take time but I feel like Lori has given me the tools and the right mindset to continue on this path. She's an amazing coach and I'm grateful for the time that she spent (and will continue to spend) working with me and helping me understand myself better.”
Julie Hamilton, Managing Director, Deloitte
“When I started the coaching program with Lori, it was because I wanted to support her as a friend/colleague. Also because I’m a person who is regularly seeking self-growth. I went into the program thinking I would be focusing on work objectives but little did I know how much emotional and internal well-being would come from my coaching work with her. She was always prepared, consistent, and direct in giving me feedback, and offering suggestions and it always felt supportive. I have a greater awareness of some of my challenges and tools that will help me work through them as I move forward. It was a wonderful experience and I have grown significantly through this time.”

“Lori is a kind and invested coach. She genuinely cares for her coachees and you can see this clearly in the way she supports her clients through the various challenges and outside noise that can be distracting. Lori takes her time in getting to know her clients and it shows!”
Heather S.
“You were very patient and understanding of me. I appreciated the flexibility you showed when needed. I felt like you were a partner guiding me in growth rather than someone handing me a path and saying do this. The whole process felt organic and helpful.”
Karl Weinstein
“Signing up for coaching was in part an exercise in curiosity. What is coaching all about? After our intake session, Lori built a solid program for me to follow. Her listening skills, feedback, and gentle nudges kept me focused and moving toward attaining my Purpose and Outcomes. I am thankful to have invested in the coaching program and recommend it to anyone wanting to reach new levels of self-awareness.”
Dawn Yadron, Marketing & Advertising
“Working with Lori has truly been an awakening. Lori’s guidance, coaching, kindness, and patience helped to bring me through a substantially difficult period in my life, reminding me of who I am and reinforcing my courage to move forward. You are awesome!”
Lori Luppino
“Lori has been a great help in my self-discovery. Because Lori knew me professionally, she understood where my pain points were. Talking with Lori helped me discover how to work on myself. I am confident with my new tools I will continue my journey. My hope is to continue to leverage what I learned into my personal life as well.”
Diane B.
Enneagram
“I was interested in the Enneagram because I thought it would give me insight into myself and help me better articulate how I viewed the world, as well as support me in my ongoing quest towards deepening my personal development.
When I sat down with Lori, she had reviewed my results as well, and had highlighted items/ideas she thought we might want to discuss together with the goal of deepening development. She was spot-on in anticipating what was important to spend time on! She asked me to highlight both what resonated and what didn’t. I was deeply surprised by a few of the blind spots revealed about my way of being, but Lori completely ‘normalized’ those with me. I was surprised but encouraged and supported in looking closer - all in the pursuit of knowing myself. I walked away feeling clear and excited about my next steps.
I recommend this work! Lori is a kind and insightful guide, and seems genuinely interested in maximizing my potential as highlighted by the Enneagram results.”
Sally Thomas, LoadstoneCoaching.com
“Lori worked with me over the course of 3 sessions to learn about my Enneagram type. I won this Enneagram coaching package from attending Lori’s Burnout workshop – I highly recommend her workshop for all professionals! Since I didn’t seek out this coaching, I had a lot of trepidation about learning about myself in a report and being vulnerable, but I’m so glad I did it. Lori was kind, encouraging and non-judgmental as we discussed my Enneagram report findings in detail. Her approach allowed me to open up to learn about my Enneagram type and how to grow within it while being accepting of my emotions and myself. Lori also worked with me to identify manageable actions each session to target specific areas of my Enneagram and provide the space to check in with myself. I’m inspired to continue my journey of developing my best self and it was Lori’s encouragement that made it possible! Thank you Lori!”
Rebecca Parker, Senior Transportation Engineer
“Lori is just one of those people you feel connected to instantly. She listens, is open, honest, and real. She did my Enneagram, and I didn’t like what I was hearing. I burst into tears. She then helped me understand why. She’s probably the best coach out there and will help you move past your own self-induced roadblocks. I can’t recommend her enough!”
Jennifer Boulanger
“I’ve had the benefit and privilege of working with my coach Lori Prutsman. Recently, she worked with me on my Enneagram. It was amazing! I felt like someone reached inside me and dissected things in the exact way that only I, subconsciously know. The report was great, but Lori worked closely with me to really make meaning of everything, including a plan of action with goal setting. I have started to journal along with a gratitude journal entry on an application each day. The report you receive gives you a lot of information and very good practice examples for personal development. Lori helped me to break down and understand my personality and behavior traits and created a long-term plan of action.
I walked away knowing myself so much better: the good, the bad, and the ugly. She presents this all in a way that allows you to appreciate ALL of the things about yourself along with some suggestions of things to try to improve in areas that are identified. Lori brought it all together by providing a safe, non-judgmental environment. I know she will always treat this information with respect and confidentiality. She continues to coach me, providing ongoing check-ins as well as our regular sessions where we reflect on where we are, while encouraging me to celebrate my inner strengths.
I highly recommend Lori Prutsman for coaching and also recommend the Enneagram assessment to deepen the coaching. In working with her, I will continue to grow with the opportunity of becoming my best self”.

“Lori was truly an excellent burnout workshop guide. She led a group of loosely associated people to a place of connection and understanding, building the capacity for people to spread her teachings. What a wonderfully human experience!”
Burnout workshop attendee
“The burnout workshop that I attended was great. It gave our group a chance to really dive into the issue of burnout and how it’s handled in our organizations. The breakout sessions were challenging at times but spurred great conversations and connection. Would highly recommend Lori and her workshop!”

Workshops & Speaking
"The time spent with Lori was a calming and thought-provoking experience. Lori’s itinerary and execution is well rounded. Spending the day with her gave me time to reflect and think about how I can be a better human. After the retreat, I had a sense of inner peace and noticed that the anger I was carrying with me was gone. I look forward to spending more of this valuable time with her as I realize that this is not a one-time transaction. Working on myself with her guidance and insight is an ongoing process that I find necessary in order to be a better human, personally and professionally."
Colleen Ando, Creative Director, Evia Events
Retreats
“I have done two Intentional Year retreats with Lori. Both were extremely valuable. The first year, I was really learning about the process and worked to be a good student. Lori was so generous in her explanations of why we were going through each exercise, yet balancing information with giving space for individual exploration. Two transformational things happened for me. First, at the second retreat, a year later, I reviewed my previous work. I was elated, and relieved, and was able to receive an increased level of confidence because I had stayed true to my intentions and accomplished so much more than I had given myself credit for. That reflection time was inspiring and uplifting. The second transformational experience was during the second retreat, I was able to leverage what I had learned and really dig deep into dark places. She enabled me to be vulnerable, yet I always felt completely safe. Bringing out emotional toxins cleared the way for healing, inspiration, and motivation. Lori's authenticity, genuine caring, and generosity with her gifts have been a huge part of my journey.”
Christine, Computer Software industry
"Lori is such a beautiful soul and the perfect person to do this type of work. Her full embrace of the moment helped everyone really dig down and confront their demons in a safe, non-judgmental space."
Amanda Buckner, Owner, Untamed Fitness and Martial Arts, LLC
“Lori’s retreat was a wake-up call that I needed. I went in thinking it would be a fun, quiet meditative experience. I left understanding the reason why I’ve made certain decisions, and why I could change my actions for my own best interest. Lori asked poignant questions that helped dig deeply into finding what gives you joy, and tools to help focus on what you love. She helped me discover a different, more focused direction to enhance all aspects of my life (work, personal, relationships). Lori’s retreat was invaluable in inspiring me to carve out more time to improve my life, relationships, and work performance. The retreat was well worth the time and money - it’s the best investment you can make in yourself. "
