Are you looking for an experienced Career Coach in Colorado Springs? Is it time to partner with someone to help you make progress in your job search or career change? Are you ready for better results?
If so, you’ve come to the right place. I’m Laura (Benjamin) Lollar and I’ve been a career coach for over 20 years. I strive to gain an in-depth understanding of my clients, including their personality, career history and future goals.

Laura’s 3-Step Approach
Step One: please email me so we can schedule time to talk by phone or zoom
Step Two: we’ll discuss your situation, your goals and expectations. We’ll talk about how you’d like to work together (by phone, zoom or in person) and the coaching plan that works best for your budget. I’ll ask you to email me your resume, then I’ll send you an assessment designed to help me get to know you better.
Step Three: I’ll send you a brief Letter of Agreement and then we’ll begin!
It will be a pleasure to speak with you!
Warm regards, Laura
P.S. My office is located in Black Forest, just 15 minutes north of Colorado Springs. Sessions can also be conducted by phone and/or Zoom.
