Testimonials
Mike Takagawa
CEO | Corporate Edge, Inc.
What has been a revelation to me is Loretta’s natural generosity and spirit of giving. By showing that the more you give, the more you gain, she inspires the same spirit in others. She’s truly a role model both for clients and for other coaches. Loretta is such a great harmonizer, so great with groups of people, she has such a natural inclination to bring people together.
Cris Barrett
Head of People at Aurora | Former HR Business Partner, Yahoo!
Loretta and I had the pleasure of working together at Yahoo! when I was supporting a technology Senior VP and his team as an HR Business Partner and she was hired as for Executive Coaching. Not only was I pleased with how well we collaborated to help make this leader more effective, but I was duly impressed at how our combined efforts helped his leadership team and organization become high-performing. Loretta understands the importance of collaborating with her client’s internal talent development partners and she has a good understanding of where the tools, programs and value she provides best integrate with a company’s leadership development programs and resources. That’s not always easy to find in external partners.
Hilary Schneider
Former CEO at Shutterfly | Former CEO and President, LifeLock, Inc.
Loretta worked with several of my leaders and teams with great results. She helped us assimilate new leaders into the organization, alleviate conflicts, and strengthen how our teams worked together and engaged cross-functionally. Lumina Spark was also a popular tool at our company and we had a lot of fun learning how to work with diverse organizations and individuals.
Troy S.
VP | National Health Plan
From my 360 review, Loretta nicknamed me the “quiet giant” which I found so inspiring, and so humbling at the same time. It acknowledged that I’m different, but I’m still good at what I do, and that’s carried a lot of weight with me. Where I got the best advice from Loretta was it’s okay to be your authentic self. It’s okay to have strategies to allow that to exist.
Mat Aramburu
Executive Director, Membership Administration | National Health plan
One thing about Loretta’s guidance that really sticks with me… if if you’re gonna be leading a team, you have to make sure that your people feel part of that team – that they have engagement and are part of the process together. So by making sure that you’re communicating with them in the right way can make the difference between achieving something by yourself, versus doing it together as a team where everyone wants to lean in and do more than they probably thought they could do based on your leadership and engagement.
Aislinn Hettermann
Senior Director, Product Management | National Health Plan
You really have to be intentional about being more proactive than reactive. I think that was a key piece I learned. It’s up to me to make that space, to really get ahead of it, and decide what my own priorities are rather than letting the fire drills lead the way. One of the things Loretta did really well in our peer coaching group was to model for us how you can be vulnerable without being perceived as weak in a work situation.
Kimberly Johnson
VP, National Consumer Sales | National Health Plan
I’ve worked with Loretta for about four and a half years, and during that time, the scope and role I played within the organization grew and expanded substantially. She brought an expansive view of the organization, which has really contributed to my thinking in terms of building strategy, creating a team to support it, executing that strategy, and working collaboratively across the organization.
“Thank you so much!! Everyone without a doubt enjoyed the workshop!! I can’t thank you enough!! It was fabulous!!”

Case Study
LUMINA SPARK WORKSHOP TO ENHANCE TRUST AND COLLABORATION
When the Executive Administration team of 10x Genomics, Inc. went back to the office after working remotely for 1.5 years to support the senior leadership of this biotech company, they knew they had to quickly re-connect to work in a different way. Although they all reported into different leaders, they needed to collaborate differently than they had been before the pandemic. It was important to talk about what was working and what they could do better, and to welcome in new members who had never met the others in person.
They called on Loretta to facilitate a two-part Lumina Spark workshop that allowed them to do just that. After a morning of understanding their similarities and differences and how they show up to each other, they came back together a few days later to focus on their stress behaviors and ask each other for help.
The result was a grateful, more connected team that was able to sit around the table, provide each other thoughtful feedback, and talk about what they could each do to support each other and enhance their collaboration.
