"Working with the Handel Group has helped me stay true to my highest visions for myself. My coach understands the kind dreamer that I am; She holds me to account for following through on my greatest dreams and dares me to go for it even bigger than I would normally dare myself. She has also coached me through having difficult & important conversations; She taught me how remain true to my own feelings and desired outcomes while still being compassionate with others and taking ownership of my own faults. Being able to have these kinds of conversations has forever deepened the level intimacy with my husband, my family, my friends and my co-workers; I now have the tools to feel consistently peaceful & proud of my relationships."
-- Amy DuBois Barnett, Deputy Editor in Chief, Harpers Bazaar/Author

"My work with The Handel Group for the past 3 years has changed every aspect of my life for the better. They have helped me understand that I can do what I dream of doing, that no mistake is too serious that it can’t be rectified and that my success will always be connected to actions that demonstrate my integrity for what I believe and my commitment for caring about and nurturing the people in my life."
-- Norman Marcus, M.D. Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine, Director Norman Marcus Pain Institute

"My company decided to work with the Handel Group first and I volunteered because I wanted to solve a problem and thought their approach was new and could clear up my issues. My coach's energy and her ability to comprehend and define complex emotions and situations were the most compelling things about her. I learned to open my mind, to see more clearly, to use my senses more. I expected behavioral change, which happened, but also a way of processing began to emerge as well. I learned how to deal with politics, inconsistency, confusion, negativity at work and I clarified what I truly wanted in life."
-- Erica Bartman, Entrepreneur

"The most compelling aspect about Lauren Zander is her uncanny ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly, and very direct and effective communication skills. She promised resolution, one way or another. Lauren and The Handel Group teaches that living a life of integrity is the only way to live life successfully, find love fully and achieve true and lasting happiness. I wanted coaching because my professional life was in shambles which had bled into my home life with my wife and son. I accomplished a lot. Left the company I co-founded, created a new one, and began with a clean slate both professionally and personally."
-- Peter Smaha, Entrepreneur/Marketing & Media

"Working with a coach has helped me to take seriously the possibility of achieving great things in my life. It has also forced me to confront facts about myself and my life that stand in the way of achieving great things. This has not been an easy process, but it has certainly been well worth it."
-- Dr. Peter Stone, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Stanford University

"I'm a person who makes things for a living, but when I first met my coach, I'd lost faith in what I do. I was pretty sure I'd killed the joy of creativity by making a job out of it, and there's nothing more depressing than that: living your dream and hating it anyway.

Working with my HG Coach has helped me get back to what I love about music and art. I didn't need a listener or a sympathizer; I needed an ass-kicker -- someone stubborn enough to win arguments with me, someone strong-willed enough to pry me out of my own bad habits. My coach got me facing the right direction again, working toward my goals instead of against them." Damian Kulash, Lead Singer & Guitarist - OK Go

"Working with my coach has been a profound experience for me. When we began our coaching relationship, I thought I wanted to start a small business. Two years later, I am 75 lbs lighter. I eat well, and jog at least 4 times a week. I quit smoking. I launched my writing career. I more than doubled my yearly income. I moved into a better apartment. I started dating. AND these are merely the results of something deeper and more important. My coach helped me to see my own worth and power. She did not merely coach me to get out of bed and run, but she showed me that I could love running, love mornings, and love life."
-- Kate Kaminski, freelance writer

"I started this journey because I was turning 40, had two great kids, a wonderful career, and a good marriage, but I felt like something was missing. I felt like I was a hamster in a spinning wheel and not getting anywhere. I wanted to have vision and happiness. I was very much a skeptic of coaching. My coach started with a road map, which identified areas I was not completely happy about, and even some areas where I really needed change. We accomplished an incredible amount in just 60 days. My 2-year-old daughter was still waking up at night (with coaching, that stopped that in 3 days). Even though I had this great life I felt like I was running the household and my husband wasn't contributing his share. We are still working on this, but he now makes breakfast for the kids every weekday morning and I get to sit down with them. Once we got through the day-to-day issues, we started to tackle the bigger issue. I was not communicating my feelings to most people and therefore, they did not know who I really was. My coach helped me define my values and then speak with inspiring words rather than victimized words. Also, within 90 days I was promoted, because I made major changes in the recruiting department. Overall, my coach's guidance has made me a better, more inspiring person. This process has been a life changing event for me that I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants more than mediocrity in their lives."
-- Tracy Dickinson.

"I have been working with my coach for over 3 years now. In the past three years I have started a new company, started a website, am producing two workout videos and also in the process of writing a book. I am taking on things in my life that I have been wanting to have a breakthrough in like being in a great, loving relationship. But what has been the most valuable outcome of this work is how I really have a new relationship to myself and what I think I am capable of accomplishing. I believe that life is not about the things we accomplish but the way we are being everyday. I love who I am being these days and I am clear that it is due to the passionate and enthusiastic support I get from our weekly calls."
-- Patricia Moreno, Founder IntenSati Life, Inc.

"I learned that my success in business is tied together with all the aspects of my life; my marriage, my kids, my family and my friends, and that it is hard to reach true success and fulfillment when there are breaches in these areas. My coach helped me to clear my mind from senseless inner chatter. I have been able to move beyond past difficult business and financial realities."
-- Nathan Schwarzbaum, Entrepreneur

"Working with my coach has changed my life. None of the therapists and different modalities I have tried over the years offered the power and velocity of change brought about by this coaching. Within one month, I had secured a full time job after years of working part time and being a single mother."
-- Kate

Changing Your Mind

"I've always battled with my career. I felt like I had no purpose and I never liked what I was doing. My jobs always ended in me either being let go from downsizing or I would get fired. My coach taught me that it's not "what I do" for a living that matters it's how I am about what I am doing that does. My coach is teaching me how to break my old habits and how important it is to challenge my doubts and fears. I realize that I truly create my world by what I think. I now have practices in place that stop me from going down a path of negativity and self-doubt. As I keep up the practices, they get better and better and so does my life."
-- Beth Armstrong

"I had some deep rooted family issues that were holding my life hostage. My coach helped me sort through them and brought to my awareness things I had not even considered. I have a feeling of freedom and peace that I haven't felt since childhood and my creativity has soared! All of my friends tell me that I'm glowing and I know it's because of the work I've been doing with this wonderful, sensitive angel I call my Life Coach."
-- Ree Taylor

"The difference in my life since working with my coach is remarkable. I have learned to let myself dream and am learning both tactically and spiritually how to design my life and achieve my dreams.”
-- Amy Harrison, Business Owner

“I have learned discipline, integrity, about my capacity for having, One can have a child and a great career, anything can happen inside communicating authentically - telling the truth. I have seen how afraid I am most of the time. My coach has coached me into a 50 % increase in revenue in 1 year. She has taught me the distinction between partnership and dictatorship. She coaches me, and if I just do as she says - it does turn out. She believes in me when I don't. She listens for me being amazing and having whatever I want. A home, quit smoking, and now a family, savings accounts, investments, a relationship with chuck's kids. I think the biggest lesson was – realizing that I don't dream big enough dreams, that I don't really believe I can have more that I do now - and then turning that around. Life was just fine - I was fine. Not great just fine. A low grade survival, with magical moments. Now life is all magical, with moments where I am just fine.”
-- Belinda

“I have learned so much from my coach that it is amazing. She has shown me how cut off I have been from my feelings and my life. She has shown me that it is ok for me to be who I am, and that it is all part of being human. I take myself way too seriously and she has shown me to that I don’t have to be right or perfect or have all of the answers. She has also shown me that while I thought I knew what I wanted, I really didn’t. I was too busy trying to be something other than who I really am, to even know what I want and need to live a free and powerful life.
My coach keeps me on track. She is committed to my greatness. She shows me how to be the person that I want to be, and to keep the integrity in my commitment to myself. I was stuck, and she guided me through to a place of understanding and acceptance.
I was not living my life fully aware. I did things that I thought were the right things to do, without really examining why I did them. I had ideas of the way things should be or what I ought to do. I didn’t realize that the things that I thought I should do were based on perpetuating the things that I didn’t like about my life.
I am now able to look at my life and my actions based on what I want rather than on what I thought should be. I used to feel trapped and stuck. Now I feel free to make choices, and create my life the way that I would like it to be.”
--Tina Adams

“I think some of what was most compelling about my coach was her totally honesty. She was fearlessly honest with me about what she saw about my life, but at the same time it was so connected to her unconditional acceptance of who I was that I felt totally safe telling her anything and being myself around her. I felt like she was the first person I ever met who unconditionally loved me. My parents of course unconditionally loved me, but there were times when I would do things and they would get pissed off etc. but with my coach I felt totally safe. She promised me I could have anything I wanted in my life. One of the things that I feel The Handel Group teaches people is that your life is for living and that anything really is possible. That it's completely possible to go after what your heart dreams about and that indeed if your heart dreams about it, it's your purpose. In my own words, I feel I have learned about manifesting, and standing in your truth and of course telling the truth and that telling the truth is a direct line to personal freedom. I have learned about personal power and integrity and that life is about learning about love, as well as many other things. Of course what I learned was different than what I expected. I thought when I first started to work with my coach that she was going to teach me how to pick up chicks. She did, but in a very different way than what I expected. When I first started with her, I was 15 and wanted her to teach me how to be comfortable with chicks and pick up girls. But we went WAY deeper than that.”
--Zach Maxwell

"Thank you. The coaching makes such a positive difference in my life. I now have systems that keep me focused, and life no longer seems bleak every few days or so. I am looking forward to addressing all areas of my life. My reason for contacting The Handel Group was because I truly felt I was at my wits end, spinning my wheels and going nowhere fast. You answered my cry for help and I am forever grateful. Thank you."
--Diane Williams

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that the untapped power that lies within us is so great that we can't even fathom how great it is until we realize just that. My Mother e-mailed me the article "HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT" and like the petals opening on a new rose, life began to take on new meaning for me.
The information you had provided for the article has started to manifest in such a way that I am asking myself the tough questions and really getting down to my own layer of emotional dirt that has kept me stagnant for most of my life; -I am in awe of how quick and scary and exciting this process can be, but in all of that -at the same time, wonderful. If I had read this information even 1 year ago, I would have brushed it off, because I was not ready to embrace it.
I have done many things and acted out in many ways throughout my life negatively, but I know that somehow I need not be a product of those circumstances and that I can and will succeed and that I must keep exploring the paths that lie before me. I have been overwhelmed at times, but I persevere because I know it will just become natural and delicate and powerful in its essence, over time. I am focusing on what I want to become, compared to what I have been and trusting that I will find myself a Branding Strategist/ Writer/Wife/Singer /?/?/?,... the list goes on, one piece a time.
I want to conclude this by thanking you in making these things known and inspiring those willing to listen; and that your efforts are not in vain, people are tuning in. Thank you for sharing."

"I was introduced to my coach by a friend of mine, but knew little about life coaching, other than that my friend was getting tremendous results, especially around business development and personal wealth. I knew I needed to work on my relationships (husband, family) etc. but just didn't have the roadmap.
The HG Coaching Methodology has taken me in so many unfamiliar, adventurous, exciting places physically, spiritually and emotionally."
-- Dara Holzman

"My coach is incredible and helps me design my life beyond what I think I can dream. She's tough in the best way possible. You are choosing to spend your money wisely if you are looking to focus on your life and well being. She will guide you and encourage you ... and kick your butt when you need it."
-- Jennifer De Christoforo

“I hired my coach particularly to assist me with weight loss. I have achieved results and continue to succeed in this area. I was prosperous in my profession. With my coach’s help, I continue to thrive financially but also am professionally successful, happy and pleased with my work life. My coach is astute, perceptive and her greatest strength is her ability to integrate many areas of life to help me reach my goals and dreams -whatever they may be.”
-- Teri Gauquie

“My coach is very enthusiastic and effective. She not only helps me to become aware of limiting repetitive behavior, but with the help of a framework of exercises and practices, she teaches me how to break away from old habits that are limiting growth and happiness and make long lasting changes in life in order to also have a rewarding, happy and exciting life every day!”
-- Denise Stoot

“Despite my early skepticism, working with my coach has yielded incredible results for me. I thought I was doing well and just needed to tweak a few things, but my lifestyle, health, relationships, finances, and overall happiness have all taken a significant leap to levels I did not believe I could achieve. There is no magic pill to make all challenges in life disappear but I would recommend my coach wholeheartedly to anyone seeking advice and guidance on how to go about winning in any area of their life. Her coaching methodology is on the cutting edge of human development. She gets results and she walks the talk.”
-- Ziad Sawalha

“My coach is amazing. She keeps our group motivated, on target with our desires/goals and has taught us to be focused. I would join another group with her as the leader and I would like to contract a one on one session very soon.”
-- Mary Lynn O'Caining

“Deciding to have a coach is always a tough decision, after all we all think we have it nailed and given time it will all come together, right? Maybe so, but this defiantly speeds up the process. Since starting work with my coach and The HandelGroup, I have taken my business from $500,000 P/A in revenue to over $3,000,000 and climbing. Was it worth it? You bet.”
-- James Mansfield

My coach is professional and provides the utmost personal attention to every client. You'll love her!!!
-- Channasa Taylor

“My coach has been and continues to be instrumental in my evolution. I could not have made it through the personal challenges I've faced without her abiding dedication to restoring my faith in myself. She is a powerful force on this planet- encircled by amazing people; she delivers results at a very high level. She has my utmost endorsement.”
-- Jessica

“My coach is spectacular. She practices what she preaches and believes wholeheartedly in what she teaches. She has follow-through and really believes in her clients and what they are creating. It has been a brilliant partnership working with her on not only my career, but my life!”
-- Lora Krulak

“I KNOW without any doubt that The HandelGroup has improved my life tremendously, more than any single thing I’ve done so far. Obviously working out and losing weight (33 ½ lbs so far & counting) is hugely important, but the thing about Handel is that it’s holistic. It covers all aspects of our being. That’s why I say it’s had more impact than any other thing I’ve done to improve my life. I am happier, thinner, healthier, a teeny bit more likeable, and I have an eagerness about my life that I didn’t really have before. I loved being alive, but now I’m eager to get busy with the things that are important to me, and I KNOW my work with Handel will make that happen. ‘There’s no time to waste!’ is how I view it! I’ve done enough of that already!”
