I'm Lindsay—founder, entrepreneur, and career coach.

I don't coach from theory alone. I coach from two decades of building businesses, leading teams, making difficult decisions, and walking through seasons of change myself.   

For more than twenty years, I've helped people navigate seasons of growth. Early in my career, that meant advising companies and private equity investors. Later, it meant building the Kayo Conference Series into a trusted community of 5,000 women across finance, venture capital, real estate, and energy.

Today, it means something even more personal: helping individuals and teams discover the strengths, clarity, and confidence they need for whatever comes next.

Over the years, I've learned that the strongest growth rarely happens overnight. Like the understory of a forest, the most important work happens quietly—beneath the surface—where strong roots are formed, healthy soil is cultivated, and new growth begins long before anyone else can see it.

That's the work I love. Helping people and teams do the quiet, foundational work that leads to lasting growth, stronger leadership, and lives that feel aligned with who they were created to be.

The story behind Under Stories.

OUR APPROACH

Growth begins beneath the canopy.

Just as a forest's healthiest growth begins in the understory, meaningful personal and professional growth starts long before anyone else can see it.  Titles, promotions, and career changes are the visible results. The real work happens beneath the surface—discovering your strengths, clarifying your purpose, building confidence, and making intentional decisions rooted in who you are. That's the work we do together. 

Whether you're navigating a career transition, preparing for greater leadership, or building a stronger team, our coaching is designed to cultivate lasting growth—not quick fixes.

Just as every organism in the understory contributes to the health of the forest, thriving teams must sync together. We help teams flourish.
