She's pushed me to consider things outside of my comfort zone. and hasn't held back in telling me when I need to up my game.

  • I started working with Lenna while building my NED portfolio profile and founding my business. Lenna's positive affirmations and network introductions are incredibly helpful to anyone in business. Being a coach myself it's always a different structure when being coached yourself and Lenna is unbelievably good at supporting a fellow founder to strategise effectively. Lenna's network meant I could also navigate the UK and global markets with appropriate offerings to build my business and brand outside of my immediate network. I would not hesitate to work with The L Factor in the future.

  • Lenna’s CV was one of three I was sent by a company I was doing non-exec training with to choose a mentor. We weren't able to talk to any of the candidates so I had to use my intuition - I'll be honest it was the professional nosey parker that caught my attention. I am so glad and grateful that I chose Lenna, I was unsure what to expect but from the start she was an inspiration! She was the perfect mix of tough love and supportive – she immediately sparked confidence in me that she knew exactly what she was talking about and I felt excited to see how my sessions would progress. In 3 sessions I went from being slightly daunted by my new role as NED/Board Advisor to recognising my transferable skills and more than that my real strengths and unique gifts that I can bring to the board of any company big or small. She was also extremely understanding and supportive of my ADHD recognising when I was struggling with something because of it or if it was just my own lack of confidence, this is no easy feat but she managed it perfectly. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I will be back to see her in the future without a doubt!
