Backstory

The inspiration

According to layoffs.fyi, over 170,000 people have been laid off in the tech industry since the beginning of 2023. As one of those who have been impacted, I understand the feelings of grief, self-doubt, and uncertainty that can accompany such a life event. If you find yourself in this situation, please know that you are not alone.As a senior UX researcher with a background in clinical psychology and a love for coaching, I felt inspired to create something to support the community and those who were impacted. I put together a hybrid journal+planner designed to help build your awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and actions, recognize how these elements influence each other, and empower you to set intentions and reach your goals.Life sure can be unpredictable, right? But I wholeheartedly believe that we have the power to take the reins and forge our own paths. My hope is that this framework becomes your personal sanctuary, where you can concentrate on yourself, clarify your intentions, and feel more in control as you continue to shape your career growth journey moving forward!

About me

Lisa Clift

On a quest to unleash human potential!

Hey there, I'm so glad you stopped by! My name is Lisa, and I'm a Senior UX Researcher with a background in clinical psychology. I've always been curious about people and what makes them tick, and for the last five years, I've been lucky enough to explore that curiosity at Google. My main gig there was working closely with game developers and publishers to help them create fantastic cloud streaming experiences.But you know what really gets me fired up? Coaching and mentoring! When I became a manager, I discovered that helping others navigate the challenges of the workplace was the most fulfilling part of my job. So, I dove headfirst into advanced coaching training and became a peer coach for my fellow Googlers outside of my core role.Now, I'm excited to share my passion for coaching with a broader audience and help you tap into your unlimited potential and achieve all the awesome things you've been dreaming of!

I'm all ears
