Accessing her vast experience working in diverse assignments, across geographies, and in challenging professional and personal situations, Luann guides explorers as they transform success into significance. As Founder of Axiom Quest LLC, she provides training and coaching to support leaders transform embodied wisdom into skilled action. Luann aspires to help clients discover what they really care about and then co-creates practices that transform new awareness beyond breakthrough insights into actions. Tapping into embodied wisdom increases capacity to learn quickly, lead masterfully, and transform challenges into unexpected opportunities.
Luann’s coaching philosophy focuses on client development through embodied inquiry and body-oriented practices. Working through the body, she helps clients uncover new distinctions and meaning. Cultivating embodied awareness, clients are able to move unconscious embodied wisdom into conscious embodied understanding that expands opportunities of choosing goal-aligned actions rather than automatically reacting in ways that may be contrary to our values.
A lifelong learner, Luann completed her doctoral research Exploring, Embodying, Enacting: Transforming Through the Experience of Integrating the Body in Learning at The George Washington University Executive Leadership Program in Human and Organizational Learning. Recognizing the importance of neuroscience in coaching and learning, her passion is furthering our understanding of the relationship between embodied practices and awareness, cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, interactive resonance, and energy patterns. Integrating body and mind through practice is essential to effectively accessing and applying the suitable energy at the appropriate time. Understanding and engaging embodied awareness increases our potential to access actionable learning so critical to thriving in our increasingly challenging world. Luann practices Qigong & is certified to teach.
As a retired US Coast Guard Captain (O6) with Command experience, Luann is a proud veteran, married to a veteran, mother of a US Army soldier and a US Navy sailor. She is also a PADI Divemaster and volunteer diver at the National Aquarium & Warrior Canine Connection.
