Lisabeth Medlock, Ph.D., BCC, CDCS
Psychologist and Certified Life and Career Coach, Consultant, TEDx Speaker, Writer
​
I am a psychologist, Board Certified Coach and consultant with a mission to help people and organizations do better and be better. I serve as an advocate, solutions finder, change agent and resource. My passion is to help people navigate the changes in their lives to direct and design their future.
I believe in the power of individuals to create change. For 25 years I have used my skills and resources to impact disenfranchised communities; the homeless, victims of violence, the disabled and flood affected families. As a coach I have worked with people across the life span with diverse backgrounds and goals. As a consultant, I have worked with over 100 organizations to improve their impact on the communities they serve.
I believe in sharing knowledge and tools. To that end I have been a blogger for the Huffington Post, a TEDx speaker, and an author. I have been published as a researcher and have developed myriad reports, training manuals and self-help booklets.
​
My path has been both an exciting and challenging one, and I have navigated upheaval and major life changes. In 2010, I became visually imparted after a traumatic injury. I translate my growth and lessons in transition into my work, especially the work I do with people with different abilities and chronic conditions.
​
I am a mother of a teenager and I love to sing, work out and travel. Creativity, inquiry and authenticity is what I am usually seeking.

My Values and Principles
-
I believe anyone can change and that it is never too late to start down a new road-no matter what life has dealt you.
-
I believe in personal accountability- you have the power to make choices that shape your life and create your path.
-
I believe the key to results lies in basic principles of human relationships and interpersonal dynamics—listening, being heard, being seen, feeling useful, and being respected.
-
I believe in continuously challenging assumptions and embracing discovery and inquiry to better understand issues and needs-I don't take things for granted.
-
I believe in building the capacity of those I serve to design, develop, grow, and sustain skills, processes and changes.
-
I believe there is no such thing as “one size fits all”, so I tailor approaches to each person and project.
How I Coach
​
-
My goal is to help you move from where you are now to where you want to be.
-
My role as coach is part accountability partner, part cheerleader and part inquisitor.
-
My focus will be completely on you and what you want in life; I stand for you first and foremost, not just your goals.
-
You will ultimately be responsible for actions taken (or not taken) in your life throughout the process.
-
From time to time, I will make a specific, direct request, such as "Will you accomplish X by the end of the month?”
-
I will give you homework between sessions and typically ask you to determine two or three goals or actions to focus on between our sessions.
"A few years ago I needed help getting myself and my business out of a slump. I found Lisabeth and she helped me turn my life around. She provided me with a no-nonsense approach and coaching that helped me get motivated, identify my strengths, and organize an approach to get back on track and move my life forward. She's a personal hero, pillar of strength, and brings energy and happiness to the table. I'm so glad I called Lisabeth and so glad she's always available."
