Meet Lauren

I work with people who are deeply engaged in their work—those with ideas, experience, and a clear sense that there’s more they want to explore.

They are accomplished, perceptive, and multifaceted, with a body of work and a sense there is more within them, ready to be realized.

This is where I come in.

I hold a space for clear thinking, surface what’s shaping your perspective, and support you in translating what you know into next steps that feel true to it.

Grounded in a background in strategy, leadership, and coaching, my work is focused on turning insight into clarity—and clarity into action.

My Commitment

I am committed to an ongoing practice of developing my work as a coach—deepening my presence, refining my skills, and strengthening my ability to support clear, client-led thinking.

I adhere to the ethical standards and core competencies of the International Coaching Federation, and engage in continuous learning, mentorship, and reflective practice to uphold the integrity of my work.

This includes maintaining professional accountability, honoring confidentiality, and creating a space grounded in trust, respect, and partnership.

Alongside my coaching practice, I continue to write, create, and think—ensuring that my work remains engaged, relevant, and responsive to the people I serve.

  • The Bunton Method is a personalized approach that brings together coaching, strategic thinking, thoughtful conversation, and custom reflection tools to help you move from insight to clarity to action.

    The work starts with whatever is on your mind. Something you keep returning to, a decision you are considering, an idea you want to develop, a change you want to make, or something you simply have not been able to move forward.

    I bring questions, perspective, reflection, strategy, and tools selected specifically for you to build awareness, challenge assumptions, generate insight, and create greater clarity around what comes next.

    Between sessions, I may create custom reflections, exercises, or practical tools based on what surfaced in our conversation, so the thinking continues beyond the session.

    The goal is not insight for its own sake. It is insight you can use, clarity you can trust, and action you are ready to take.

  • What is coaching, really?

    What is coaching, really?

    Fair question.

    The term has been borrowed by just about every advice giver on the internet, so it’s no surprise it can feel a bit diluted.

    Coaching is one of the tools I am professionally trained to use as part of The Bunton Method. Depending on what you bring, it may be exactly what we need at a particular point in our work.

    At its best, coaching is a focused partnership that helps you think more deeply, build awareness, challenge assumptions, and create clarity around what comes next.

    We start with what’s actually on your mind. A decision you’re circling. An idea you’re excited about. Something that feels stuck. A change you’re considering. Something you keep coming back to and want to understand more clearly.

    When I am coaching, I am listening for more than your words. I am paying attention to patterns, assumptions, what is being said, and what might not be said yet. I ask questions that deepen awareness, surface insight, and help move the thinking forward.

    Sometimes coaching is the right tool. Sometimes our work calls for strategy, a custom reflection exercise, a practical framework, or another way of working through what is in front of you.

    That is why The Bunton Method is broader than coaching alone.

    Coaching is one of the ways we create insight. What we do with that insight is where the rest of the work begins.
