Meet Lynn Hardin

Certified Life Coach & Former Principal

I thought being the boss at a school would be a dream come true. What I believed to be the job was being in classrooms all the time supporting masterful instruction while mentoring struggling students. The parents, teachers, and staff would be receptive to change, new systems, and my new ideas to better the school.

The reality of each day wasn’t even close to this dream.  Each day was a nightmare of urgent demands, problems, and backed up paperwork.

No one mentioned the constant pressure...

...to be in long meetings, while handling discipline concerns, returning calls to angry parents, rainy day coverage, soothing teacher upsets, and still attempting to drive great instruction.  All of this is expected to be done with no food or breaks, unless you count lunch at your desk as a break.

The drive home was spent questioning my purpose and if I was even helping to make a difference.  It seemed like the grown-ups were so upset!

In the beginning, it was painfully challenging. I persevered and learned how to complete projects, improve instruction, support teachers, mentor students, and create a positive school culture to be remembered.

I learned how to become the principal everybody loved.

That's why I created a groundbreaking approach to leadership and life coaching that offers personal support in real time.

With my approach, you'll receive personalized, ongoing support to help you tackle any issue that arises at work or home.

“I used the tools that Lynn gave me to ease the anxiety within myself”

As a client of Lynn, I have been given the gift of her coaching. She has a unique ability to understand what is at the heart of any challenge you may be experiencing. I can proudly say that in the last few months I have been in several situations that were extremely stressful and scary. I used the tools that Lynn gave me to ease the anxiety within myself and I was then able to calm the other people involved in these situations. She has helped me change a lifelong pattern that I dreamed of changing, but never thought was possible.”
