Coaching for consultants
Consulting runs on tomorrow's room: the readout, the steering committee, the review. TextLauren is a coach you text the night before, to sharpen the story, plan for the hard question and walk in with the first sentence ready.

Who it's for
Consultants at strategy, management and advisory firms: tomorrow's client readout, the manager who hates your slides, the up-or-out review, and the exit question that comes up every year.
What consultants text Lauren about
Tomorrow's client readout
The storyline, the hard question you can see coming, and the first sentence.
Vague feedback
Turn "more executive presence" into something specific you can practice.
Up-or-out reviews
Make your case, hear the real bar, and plan the next six months.
The difficult client
Scope creep, a client who changes their mind, a hard conversation about fees.
Exit options
Industry, a startup, another firm. Lauren helps you get clear before the recruiter calls.
How it works
- Text the moment. Save Lauren's number and text her in iMessage or SMS: from the hallway, before the meeting, at 11pm. Nothing to schedule or install, and there's an iPhone app if you want your history and goals in one place.
- She asks before she advises. A question or two, then a plan, a script or some honest pushback. Replies usually arrive within a minute.
- She remembers and follows up. Lauren keeps track of your people, goals and patterns, checks in before and after the big moments, and runs a weekly goal with you, set on Monday and reviewed on Friday. You can see and edit what she remembers.
- It stays private. Your messages are encrypted and never sold. Your employer sees nothing unless they sponsor a team plan, and then only anonymous themes.

growth. and not looking like he made a bad bet
open with his goal, not your cut: "You asked us how to reach 20% growth. The fastest path frees up the budget in [program]. Here's why, and how to make the shift without losing what it built." let him keep his dignity and he'll hear the rest
Plan the room, not just the slides.

Frequently asked questions
Do consultants use coaches?
Many do, especially around promotions, managing teams, client relationships and career moves. TextLauren is for the in-between moments: the night before the readout, the hour after hard feedback.
Can I share client details with Lauren?
You don't need to, and you shouldn't share anything confidential. Describe the situation in general terms and Lauren can help with the conversation.
How do I get better at executive presence?
Ask for specific examples of what it would look like, then practice one behavior at a time: leading with the answer, pausing before you respond, owning the next step in the room. Lauren can help you rehearse.
Is Lauren a real person?
Lauren Baptiste is a real executive coach and a CPA who spent 13 years at EY. When you text, you're texting an AI trained on her coaching, which is why replies usually arrive within a minute, day or night.
