Today we’d like to introduce you to Liezel Lane.
Hi Liezel, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Liezel Lane is the founder and lead coach at MyTeenLifeCoach.com. Liezel founded MTLC in 2020 after spending a decade working in the non-profit space and fifteen years as an executive in corporate human resources and learning and development. Liezel has always had a passion for uplifting and empowering youth and connecting with community through the arts. As the founder and executive director of the 501c3 non-profit Atlanta S.E.E.D.S, Liezel created a non-profit performing arts studio to mentor over 500 girls and women though dance, leadership, self-esteem, and fiscal responsibility. Liezel received her master’s degree in industrial psychology. Currently, Liezel specializes in coaching teens, millennials, and parents in life, school, and careers.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Liezel has experienced challenges throughout her life, which makes her passionate about helping others who have struggled find their own success. Liezel grew up in South Africa and experienced emotional trauma and hardship during her childhood and adolescent years. She pursued her interests in dance, rock climbing, and deep-sea diving to help her push through those times. Liezel is a first-generation immigrant who graduated college and climbed the corporate ladder quickly, rising to the position of junior executive. However, Liezel experienced burnout as a result of that early, fast-paced time and had to recover. As the owner of a non-profit studio, Liezel experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, including navigating a global pandemic.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
