Meet Your Coach: Ligia Gutierrez
30+ Years of Experience | MS in Management & Leadership
Welcome to Love Your Mission Leadership & Career Coaching. I’m Ligia L. Gutierrez, your career clarity coach and leadership consultant dedicated to helping professionals and organizations move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Here are the answers to the questions you have about working with a coach.
​
What kinds of challenges do you help individuals solve?
I help individuals who are at a crossroads in their careers transform confusion into clear direction. I specialize in guiding professionals who are feeling stuck, preparing for an interview, facing a layoff, or navigating a major career change. My focus areas include achieving career clarity, professional development, cultivating self-leadership, and establishing work-life balance. I am dedicated to helping individuals create intentional career paths that align with their life goals.
Why did you become a coach?
My commitment is fueled by the significant crossroads I’ve faced in my own professional life. In my twenties, I navigated two layoffs and successfully transitioned from banking to the non-profit sector. Later, in my mid-forties, despite my success, I grappled with severe burnout, stress, and profound self-doubt; I was a workaholic who also wore the supermom cape. This period led me to leave a cherished career without a clear plan, feeling lost until I finally achieved clarity, peace, and a strong connection to myself and with my family. This personal journey underscored the vital importance of coaching support, self-leadership, and silencing inner critics, and I am now dedicated to helping others achieve the same level of clarity and fulfillment.
