About Lisa Smith (Caterpillar in a Jar)

About Me

Hi there!

When I was a little girl, I would sit in my front yard, in my cute little dress playing with all the caterpillars. Thinking back, those were some of my favourite moments. I would collect them, watch them do what I thought was nothing and then one day turn into this beautiful butterfly, ready to be set free. The morphing process has always intrigued me.

As life continued and I grew older, I was faced with overwhelming obstacles that seemed to pile on top of each other one by one. No matter where I was in my current life, another obstacle would come in my way and stunt me from ever making any forward progress. I always felt like everyone was getting ahead of me and I could never catch up.

It took me a long time to come to the realization moment that I was the only obstacle standing in my way and I was allowing my circumstances to control my outcome. It was only then where I realized that I was that caterpillar, slow to move, stuck in a jar, waiting to morph and grow into the beautiful butterfly. This is where Caterpillar in a Jar was born.

Over the course of my 46 years, I have been on a continuous self journey and the one and only common thread that I keep coming back to is self! Everything comes back to the core of ourself. I truly believe that once we find and figure that part out, is when we become the most unstoppable.

I’m really excited to go on this journey of self discovery with you and look forward to connecting soon.

Until then,

  • I Love

    helping others

  • I Believe

    everything comes back to the core of ourself

  • I'm passionate

    about making this world a better place

How I Work

I’m a firm believer that every transformation begins with the self. While seeking solutions externally is common, the key lies in introspection. Our coaching journey together starts with a discovery call and our initial first session, where we’ll assess your current position, identify barriers holding you back, and dive into the unexplored spaces in between.

Solution-oriented coaching is a dynamic and empowering approach focused on identifying practical solutions to challenges and achieving desired outcomes. Through collaborative sessions, clients are guided to uncover their strengths, resources, and untapped potential, enabling them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals effectively. This coaching method emphasizes forward-thinking strategies, encouraging clients to shift their focus from problems to possibilities. By encouraging a mindset of resilience and creativity, solution-oriented coaching empowers individuals to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity, ultimately leading to sustainable growth and success.

I specialize in working with clients prepared to start this next phase of their personal and business journey. Together, we’ll rediscover your past self, navigate your present self, and create a roadmap towards your envisioned future self. Whether it’s reconnecting with your core, cultivating positive habits, or overcoming obstacles in business, I’m here to guide you toward a healthier and more fulfilling future.
