I had a fantastic coaching session with Lauren. From the start, she clearly set expectations, took the time to understand my goals, and outlined a focused plan for our conversation. Her structured yet friendly approach made it easy to get to actionable next steps. Lauren strikes a rare balance of professionalism and warmth, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a career coach.

Meet your coach, Lauren Mobertz
As the daughter of a carpenter and hourly office worker, I grew up in constant awareness of work and its impact on quality of life. When I became the first in my family to earn a college degree and enter the “professional” workforce, my seats within Fortune 500’s and startups alike deepened my appreciation for work and what it can — and can’t — do for workers.
I shifted my career multiple times, and have worn titles that range from marketing to social impact to tech operations. Now, as a Certified Executive Coach and trained organizational development facilitator, I am dedicated to helping others continuously re-define the role they want work to play in their lives.
A former Fulbright grantee, I bring an MS in organization development from the University of San Francisco, and BA in professional writing from Carnegie Mellon University.
