Lark Ambris

L.J. Viau

I am Lark Ambris and I reside in the Caribbean. My journey from the rigors of Corporate America to becoming a Certified Business coach has been a testament to resilience, resourcefulness and courage to embrace uncertainty. Along the way, I have navigated challenges, seized opportunities, and often traded the comfort of job security, financial stability and family support for the pursuit of personal fulfillment and professional growth.

My passion lies in empowering professionals who are navigating the intricacies of planned and unplanned life events. Through continuous study, excellent counsel and a wealth of lived experiences, I have come to appreciate that MINDSET is the cornerstone of our journey. Life will continue to present us all with unforeseen choices, and it is our ability to respond quickly and effectively which will determine the kinds of outcomes we get.

It is true that we can all go it alone, however borrowing the words of one of my favorite African proverbs, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together".

Together we can forge a transformative journey, unlocking untapped potential and realizing the fulfilling life we envision.

My name is L.J. and I am based in Ottawa, Canada. After leaving a wonderful 27 year career in pharmaceuticals, managing high performing sales teams and leading Learning & Development, I decided to strike out on my own, leveraging my strengths in coaching, and my passion for helping people grow.

As a life-long learner, my studies and experience have taught me that self-awareness is the foundation for personal and career growth. It is also an essential part of understanding and connecting with others.

As an ICF Certified Coach (PCC), Lumina Practitioner, and with coaching certifications in POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® and Emotional Intelligence, I support individuals, managers, and teams in achieving their goals by deepening their understanding of their personalities, strengths, areas of development, behaviour under stress, and coaching on applying this knowledge to improve interpersonal relationships and achieving desired outcomes.

"There is no self development without self-awareness. You can read as many books as you like, but if you're unable to read yourself you'll never learn a thing." Steven Bartlett

Join Lark and L.J. on this powerful and transformative journey to deeper understanding of yourself and others and strengthening your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with positive rather than negative mindset.
