Lauren Bergiel, Life & Leadership Coach, ACC, CPC, ELI-MP

 

Lauren Bergiel is a Certified Professional Life Coach who is passionate about supporting and guiding people to design the life they really want, achieve their goals, and live in alignment with their values.

With a bachelor’s degree in finance, Lauren worked her way up the corporate ladder. Within five years, she became one of her company's youngest Assistant Controllers. However, she found that the corporate structure didn't afford her the flexibility she truly desired. Therefore, in 2009, she took a bold leap and left that company to start her own business.

Amid a countrywide economic crisis, Lauren faced many struggles and quickly adapted, forging a new path as a realtor, and closing over $40 million in real estate sales. She achieved everything she thought she wanted. However, something was still missing.

Then at 33, tragedy struck: Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer. Facing a battle for her life, she trained her mind to look for opportunities and "mine for the gold" that the journey would provide. She learned to cultivate her power, surrender to the present moment, and intentionally create her identity. This is what was missing from her life and led to the fulfillment she was seeking!

Now healthy and thriving, Lauren continues to apply those lessons and is committed to sharing them with the world. She helps people connect deeply with themselves, challenge limiting beliefs, and create a roadmap that leads them to the life they really want.

With over 1500 hours invested in leadership, communication, and coach training, Lauren is a graduate of the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and Landmark Worldwide and is an International Coaching Federation credentialed Associate Certified Coach. She is ready to help you design the life you really want!

What People Are Saying…

 

Lauren Bergiel is a gifted listener who demonstrates professionalism and naturally manages to make you feel at ease. She is empathetic while simultaneously challenging you to find your own answers. During my time coaching with Lauren, I was able to identify and prioritize my personal and professional goals. Through her experience and techniques, I was fortunate to make significant progress and believe that I’m developing into a more energetic leader. Her approach is non-judgmental and the sessions are truly focused on your priorities. If you are motivated to make significant personal and professional improvements, I highly recommend Lauren as a personal/professional coach.

Upon hearing the news of losing my uncle within minutes of our call, I was questioning whether or not to show up to my first coaching session with Lauren. But I am so glad that I did! She was very professional and sensitive to how I was feeling this particular day. I explored my emotions in the moment and other topical professional growth areas. I am not new to coaching. I am a fellow coach in Diversity, Equity/Equality, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) for over 10 years. Yet, I do not always have opportunities to explore certain aspects of my personal and professional life. Lauren provided a safe environment to explore career planning and goal setting. Lauren connected the coaching journey to the root of my core values. Conversely, I was empowered to embrace newfound possibilities. As evident by my experience, she is dedicated to her client's success. She provides an encouraging and safe space to connect deeply with yourself, identify roadblocks, and create an actionable plan towards achieving your goals. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren as a coach.

I sat with Lauren for an ELI assessment to do a deeper dive into my energy levels. I took the ELI assessment previously and have used the results for improved personal and business partner relations. Now having taken it twice, I can say that each assessment can bring about additional discoveries worth exploring more and highly recommend them if you're into self-discoveries. Lauren was able to see that there was an undercurrent that I've always felt was there but I couldn't ever explain what it was or why it was there and never told anybody about. It's that undercurrent that I feel keeps me feeling heavy mentally. From this recent session with Lauren, I realized the moments where I've experienced this layer not being there is when I feel the lightest and most freed up. I'm looking forward into digging into why that undercurrent is there and releasing it permanently! I recommend sitting down with Lauren and seeing what you can discover that could shift you into higher energy levels!

Having Lauren Bergiel as a life coach has definitely impacted my life positively. Before starting my coaching journey with her, I would find myself lost most of the time and I didn't really understand why. I would try to avoid that feeling and tell myself everything was "fine." I was also dealing with a lot of anxiety as I was worrying a lot about my family and my future career. In each session, she asked me to bring a topic that I wanted to discuss and she used tools that ultimately create a sense of understanding of my dilemmas. At the beginning of each session, we started with a goal of what I would like to get out of the session and by the end of each session, that goal was always achieved. I gained awareness that a lot of my anxiety stemmed from carrying the weight and burden of other people’s issues and me trying to fix them. My family dynamics are tricky, to say the least. I realized that I was always trying to fix things within my family. It seemed like an ongoing daunting task. Through coaching, I learned that everyone has their own journey and that it is not my responsibility to make things perfect or fix things. I learned how to carve out healthy boundaries and speak my truth. I also accepted my life as a journey in the present moment (vs worrying about the future) and now I carry the courage to change what I can control while also having peace knowing that each person is responsible for their own happiness and life. My anxiety levels have since decreased significantly. My coaching experience with Lauren was just what I needed. I am very thankful for her expertise and the listening that she provided!

I would say my session with Lauren was incredible. As a Dad-to-be, it was important for me to get really specific and intentional around a question lingering in my mind: "So how am I going to do this Dad thing?" In our session, Lauren helped me put words to the values that are important for me to bring to my new role as a father. A completely unexpected thing that also came out of our session was my idea to write my daughter a letter - a letter where I convey the type of Dad she can count on me to be; a letter informed by the values that are super important for me to demonstrate as a father. At the end of the session, I felt empowered to take on fatherhood with some sense of purpose and direction. I highly recommend Lauren as a coach.

Lauren was masterful at helping me to connect to the part of me that I forgot existed. This allowed me to see my life and the world from a place of more freedom, joy, and acceptance. Her method of calming and questioning really helped me to shift my perspective on certain areas of life that were holding me back. My confidence level and self-awareness have definitely been heightened because of working with her!

My coaching session with Lauren was invaluable. She helped me focus in on the parts of my life that really matter to me right now and, together, we defined what success would look like in each area, laid out actionable next steps, and outlined how I could hold myself accountable in carrying them out. Throughout the session, Lauren guided me through her thoughtful questions and helped distill my thoughts by relaying back to me what she was hearing me say. The session was structured by Lauren but also left open-ended so that I could determine how I wanted it to look, where we focused, and how I wanted to define success and my path forward. Lauren is also very friendly, down to earth, curious, and empowering which makes being coached by her a joy!

I'm so glad I took the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment with Lauren! As a professional in the coaching field, I have taken this assessment before but It has been several years since I last took it. In the assessment debrief session, Lauren's insights highlighted all the progress and work I've done thus far and allowed me to reflect and celebrate my accomplishments. She asked questions that fostered a new layer of awareness which gently brought forward new areas of potential growth. Her coaching style supported optimism and I was energized to do the next layer of work. The clarity I gained from the assessment and debrief session with Lauren was invaluable. Thank you, Lauren!
