"The Lenserf Group has been a major contributor to the growth and development of LCF through training and mentorship. When featured on Fox 29 News, The Lenserf Group coached LCF and provided various skills for public speaking on Good Day Philadelphia with Bill Anderson. The Lenserf Group provided a location for the interview, tips, and coaching to help make my message confident, clear, impactful, and as concise as possible less than 24hrs before airing! Not only did the story air, but it connected LCF to resourceful partnerships moving forward. I would recommend The Lenserf Group to anyone looking for business growth or coaching of any kind. The Lenserf Group will push you to think bigger and better for your brand."

-
"Reframing the narrative! Defining what it means to pack an umbrella for protection."
-
"Wow! Today was such a huge day. Becoming aware of my statements and how I describe myself as always being at war is beyond enlightening. Holding a reflective panel up and letting me truly hear what I said was shocking. It was also the exact opposite of who I want to be. Now, I can make a different choice. Thank you!"
-
"Identifying how comfortable I was with my stretch percentage and deciding what are my next steps"

(4) Not competing with others. Don't feel insecure when someone else has better comments or questions than you. (5) Realize that how you feel about you, may not be exactly how others feel about you."
-
"Focusing in on: 1. What is in it for me? 2. What do I stand to lose? 3. How can I differentiate? 4. What resources can best support? 5. What do I want for this?"
-
"Each session is an insight and a building block I use to help round out my knowledge. She has the ability to cut to the chase and optimize the discussion to get the most out of what I am dealing with. She is locked into the flow of our conversation and is willing to pause to achieve clarity. I never feel rushed, and her insight has done a lot to help my personal and professional development."
-
"Love that you let me be me while also having some POV and suggestions for how we can work together productively. Energy and spirit are both something I appreciate and you've got them both."

-
"Coach Fresnel, as always, has an expert way of hearing the melody, harmony and any not-so-great notes within our discussions. This session was a showcase of my sentiments here. All along the path, Coach Fresnel is keeping destination(s) on the radar, towards moving to improved ways of thinking and being."
-
"I always enjoy my sessions with Farnia because she always gets to the root of what I want and the things that will bring the most satisfaction within my career and personal life.

I found it extremely helpful."
