About the Team

Lisa Kramer

My vision is a world inhabited by masterful coaches.

As a professional coach, mentor and coach trainer, I am passionate about assisting my clients to become more confident coaching professionals and to achieve coaching mastery. In 1998, I created Living with Intention to inspire others to gain greater fulfillment, balance and effectiveness in their business and personal lives – to be their own best coach.

I view myself as a trail blazer determined to educate the public about the benefits of business leadership coaching and personal coaching. 

Coaching with Intention is the vehicle for making this vision a reality.  It offers services designed specifically for professionals who want to utilize business coaching, or intentionally create a fulfilling coaching career, without having to reinvent the wheel!

I invite you to contact me for a conversation - let's explore how you can become the coach that brings positive change to the lives of those around you.
