What we Believe

Our Story

L.A.Y. are my initials, and I created the business name LAY-Up to evoke rising, playing, and evolving. Our best outcomes occur when a commitment to goals, practice, fun, and self-awareness exists. I’ve always been passionate about learning and growing, a true lifetime commitment. And I believe that each of us is on an ever-evolving work and life journey. The key to this game is often naming our intention, defining what success looks like, uncovering what barriers might exist, and exploring alternative paths or methods to get there.

Not too many years ago, I struggled with a lack of alignment with my core values. Once somebody uncovered this, yes, someone had to hold up the mirror so I could take a long, reflective look; I realized I had to own the change and my future. And it was scary.

However, I took the leap, stepped out of corporate, and launched LAY-Up Coaching & Consulting in 2021. My business allows me to do what I love – help people Evolve. Be. Achieve.
