“I have known Lani for many years. She is detail-oriented, very personable and a true professional. She thinks outside the box and looks for solutions that work for all. She likes to bring people together to brainstorm ideas of sales and marketing. I feel honored to have her in my professional and personal networks. “
I work in a nonprofit that helps people who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities get meaningful employment opportunities. I’ve always prided myself on the ability to build up my clients with language and confident attitude, but Lani’s knowledge, professionalism, and clear vision really helped to push me to new heights. Her amazing use of language has completely re-shaped how I approach companies, my supported job seekers, and even my wife at home. Lani really knows her stuff and I strongly recommend her. She always goes the extra mile and is there to show her support through the process even when you least expect it!
The Human Advantage in the Age of AI, was not what I expected. It was more. Leilani has an unprecedented way of connecting and sharing invaluable information on how to truly be with another human being. Her presence alone helps you understand what we are all looking for in human connection, and it's not necessarily about always saying the right things, but being regulated enough to hear and see another person in a deeper sense. This course is valuable for communicators, leaders, coaches, and therapists to understand that we all just want to be heard and feel connected.
I hired Lani on two separate occasions to help with the alphabet soup that was in my head that needed to be turned into my branding program. The two VIP days were priceless at not only helping me with my current curriculum and programs but feeling confident to take what I learned and start creating on my own. I trusted Lani's Confidence Catalyst First Time Speaker series enough to get onstage for my first talk. She coached me through the whole process from topic to stage presence. I will be able to use those skills forever. I highly recommend Lani if you're ready to look deep, level up yourself and your brand.
I am the second woman to graduate college from my very large Cuban family and one of the only members of my clan who has even ventured away from home. My career journey hasn’t been blessed with a strong family legacy or an intuitive heritage but rather a seeking of mentors and women who have helped me to learn the fundamental skills that I’ve needed to be successful. It was time to push myself at 35 years old, I knew I needed to step it up and begin going for the “BIG” jobs. The ones that made me just a little big uncomfortable but the ones I knew I belonged in. I contacted Lani and well the rest is history. Before meeting her I had interviewed for three C suite jobs but to no avail and my confidence was waning thin. We worked together for three hours in a transformational session and I can honestly say I felt like I was a different person from when the session began to the end. Three weeks later and a grueling interview process, I was offered a job in San Francisco! I look forward to working with Lani as I embark on this next phase of my career as I no doubt will continue to build my confidence as I bust through these glass ceilings.
Before I started working with Lani my head was swimming with ideas, but the ocean was so big I had a difficult time organizing them! I knew who I was and how I wanted to impact others, but I did not know how to bring clarity to my message. One of the biggest AHA! Moments I had with Lani, was realizing that many of the character traits I had thought of as ‘weak’ traits were actually my greatest strengths. The discovery and strategies that Lani helped me with will forever impact how I show up in my life, not only in my business, but personally as well.
I would highly recommend Lani and her coaching for anyone who is ready to become more empowered in their life and with their message. Lani brings a wealth of knowledge and a heart-centered approach to every call. Her resources and systems are extremely helpful in bringing clarity and insight to your mission. Most important, Lani cares. I truly feel her desire for me to succeed and grow on each call and in life! I know I will continue to seek out her expertise along my journey!
Imagine a pathway, lit by the fire of your newly discovered purpose, as you navigate the rest of your professional career or personal life. This is what my life has been like in co-discovering with Lani superpowers that kept hidden by how exhausting my life used to be. My new road towards self actualization started 18 months ago and I still look forward to our calls. Lani has helped me discover a strong sense of mission and has taught me to hold myself accountable to the changes I needed to make. I am happier, my life is more fulfilling and KPI have measured significant improvement in my job performance. I work less and make more. I have been able to let go of baggage that has been weighing me down for more than 3 decades; I now have consistency. I am most grateful to her for helping me to feel joy and spend the whole day ‘in flow.’ I wake up in the morning and am excited to being living life all over again. Lani, Life IS Good; I am forever in your debt.
I hired Lani as an image and confidence coach during my job search, and especially for perspective as I wanted to reenter the corporate environment. In just one session, Lani delivered a wealth of insight and understanding that added a sharp edge to my interviewing skills and presentation. Lani helped me to examine and reframe my own areas of inadequacy with a skill I have rarely seen in a hired coach. Lani is an incredible listener and resonator. She brought a wealth of past experience and understanding into our discussions that helped me recognize, address and eliminate key stumbling blocks that might tend to hold me back. She helped me to focus on my own story and frame up my brand, helping me to see the strengths I can bring to every interaction. She also helped me to think big and thinks strategically about the future. As I move into my new role, I will continue coaching with Lani because I know I will get an instant and enduring return on my investment.
I recently finished Lani’s Personal Brand Blueprint program and I’ll tell you what… it seriously changed my world. Being in my industry for almost two years, I rarely posted on social media because I wanted to be “different”. The market is so saturated and I would bang my head against the wall thinking of how to be unique without it ever occurring to me to BE ME. I am unique. The way I show up in the world is unique. My life is unique. I spent so much time thinking about who I was in my business that I never realized that who I am as an individual makes my business. Coming to that conclusion blew my mind. It seems SO simple, but I’m being so serious! The thing I love about working with Lani is that she never clouds the process with what she thinks you should be. She asks thought provoking questions that allow you to come to the conclusion yourself in a way that you feel confident. I found myself answering her questions with so much jumble and Lani would repeat it back to me in ways that made it simple for me to make sense of. This program not only helped my business, but it helped me dig deep into how I want to show up in my personal life and “claim my throne!” This program added so much value to my life and I am eternally grateful for the path that Lani has led me on.
Lani is a fantastic career coach. She has a unique, authentic coaching style. I appreciate how easy it was to connect with her. She is very intuitive, and she provided many insights about my brand that I wasn’t aware of. She is also good at putting things in perspective, which helped build my confidence. I would highly recommend Lani and her programs.
I thought all I was looking for was a little help in sprucing up my "look". You know, maximize my success through aligning my authentic self with my outward expression. The moment I sat down in that cafe, I knew that something was different. Typically, I'm the one who leads and draws the other person out in any given conversation. But on this day Lani looked at me and said tell me about what brought you here.
I immediately launched into all my business successes and while they are many, there was this little voice in my head saying "who cares, so what". She then asked me where I wanted to end up and again I launched into this explanation of the business I was building. She smiled and paused, reached for my hand and said "You know you are done with all that right?".
And a watershed of emotions and tears just burst in me, and I knew in that moment, she understood. She said a few more absolutely insightful and amazing things, but what I most got was that this woman was exactly who I needed, helping me manifest the most courageous and fulfilling phase of my life.
Lani and I worked together for several months. I cannot begin to tell you how her non-judgmental patience, her wisdom and her friendship were one of the most incredible gifts of 2017. I don't impress easy, in fact my standards can be impossibly high. But I can say with confidence that if you are struggling with uncovering your most authentic self, or find yourself lacking the confidence you need, or just need a partner to help point you straight to your why, Lani Grass is the right partner for your journey.
I ended 2017 in a place I didn't expect, and yet, I found my Why, and for the first time in my life, I feel like the choices I am making, and the direction I am going are perfectly aligned with who I am. Thank you Lani, I could Not have done this without you.
I would love all of you to be able to spend time with Lani. I believe she is true transformer and partner.

As a dental student with aspirations to own a dental practice, I was struggling with my confidence. My lack of confidence was impacting my personal and professional relationships. In the clinic, I felt uncomfortable around patients because I thought they couldn’t trust me to help them. Talking with Lani made me realize that the qualities I originally viewed as weakness were actually my strengths and super powers. I began developing my “why” and after figuring this out, and it has improved my outlook on dental school and made me appreciate my career choice again. When we discussed what sets me apart and makes me unique, it was a big moment for me. The confidence I gained and the skills I learned on how to interact with people will help me maintain strong relationships in my personal life and help my future patients feel comfortable and trust me in my own dental clinic one day. After working with Lani, I find myself thinking about our calls and using the skills I learned on a daily basis. Lani is an incredible coach!
