The Imperfect Lauren

Atypical. Creative. Trauma-informed. Caring. Politely rebellious.

About Me: About Me

You’re doing the things, launching the stuff, taking the courses… and asking yourself why you're not swamped with clients; why you don't have a waiting list.

 

You know you can change the world, you know you’ve got so much to offer to your clients—but something’s jamming up the works.

 

If only you could figure out what that stick in the wheel is.

 

Is it your messaging? Your branding? Your socials (omg, how you hate the socials), your web copy, your connections?

 

Hey! 👋 Imperfect coach Lauren here, your hand-holding stick-seeking detective. 

 

I’ll work with you to discover where the weak link in your business is, and we’ll repair it together. With bustin’ branding, crystal-clear communication, a whack website, and copasetic connections.

 

And I promise there won’t be alliteration in any of it—unless that’s what you want.

 

I help people like you—helpers, coaches, world-changers—make sure your branding is consistent (from logo to email signature, LinkedIn bio to website); your communication is powerful and clear; and your work is aligned. 

 

And while we’re at it, let’s banish the imposter syndrome, and ditch the perfectionism. Oh, and replace social media with networking, because.

 

Because why? Oh! Because most entrepreneurs will gladly tell you that at least 90% of their business comes from referrals. Right? So let’s make sure you’re making the right connections, too.

My superpower is seeing potential, and one of my greatest joys is watching you discover the things I can see in you that you can't yet see for yourself.

​

I live for seeing a client's eyes light up with insight and excitement—taking you from "I don't know what to do," to, "I can't wait to do this!"

​

I believe the process of coaching is allowing the client to lead rather than me taking the helm—I'm using my knowledge and expertise not to guide you, but to encourage your own knowledge and wisdom. Collaborate coaching is my jam—don't expect me to push you hard, or force you into decisions, or forcefully challenge what you believe to be right. I'll lead you, and guide you—but I won't force you.

Every aspect of my life has led me to the creation of The Imperfect Network. Here's mathematical proof:

The Imperfect Coach and her dog, Soda

Those are the (often) bare feet of a creative; writer of fiction; animal enthusiast; small-scale farmer and seed-saver; book- and film-lover; advocate; plant-based neo-hippie; and 'that lady.'

My goal with the Imperfect Network is to create a world where   

  • there is support for everyone, especially those who don’t think they deserve it;  

  • there is fairness in diversity, equity and inclusion;   

  • people are respected and appreciated for who they truly are;   

  • good people aren’t afraid;   

  • addictions aren’t stigmatized;   

  • there is better-than-adequate mental health support for all, and seeking it is utterly normalized;   

  • housing is accessible and a human right, and homelessness ceases to exist;   

  • people care about and work diligently to support the health of our natural environment;   

  • all of this happens with respect, laughter and love.
