    MAYLA ATES

  • I reached out to Licia as I needed a coach. I remember the first time I (virtually) met Licia. She greeted me with a warm smile and put me at ease straight away. Licia really took the time to get to know me and made an effort to understand what my thought process was and what goals I wanted to achieve. It’s evident that Licia really wants the best for her clients. I thoroughly enjoyed every session/conversation I had. During the short time Licia and I had, I felt more positive and motivated. Although our sessions have come to an end, I will definitely be back in the future. I can’t recommend Licia enough. Thank you so much, Licia! I have a lot of gratitude for the guidance and support that you have provided me with.

    LISA BRANCO, TAX ASSISTANT, LONDON, ENGLAND

  • The impact that Licia was able to have by getting us to open our eyes and paint the picture of what we are truly trying to achieve is nothing short of “AMAZING.” We had the distinct pleasure of having Licia lead us in a session during Coffee Connect Virtual Networking, where she discussed creating clarity for a big vision. And everyone, including myself, walked away after a very quick one-hour snippet glowing with action to take and how to make improvements. Nothing but the highest of recommendations if you are stuck and struggling to figure out the next steps to moving forward with whatever journey you are on, GIVE LICIA A CALL!

    RODNEY CHRONISTER

  • Ms. Licia is an incredible coach. She puts you in a position to come to personal realizations and is able to extract a personal and feasible plan from and for you. I personally wanted to improve my lifestyle as it pertains to diet, exercise and productivity. She helped me with goal setting, pinpointing possible hurdles and making a plan to overcome these, if and when they show up. She has helped me to achieve my highest level of productivity. I continue to see her bi-weekly, even if it’s just for an accountability check-in. Every session left me more inspired and more equipped to achieve my upcoming goals.

  • I can't endorse this book highly enough!

    For years my soul whispered to me in undeniable ways, but fear and uncertainty caused me to ignore its call. I lived without peace and authenticity but didn’t know how to unravel a life that no longer felt like my own until I began to work with Licia Thompson, life coach and the author of this aptly titled book.

    When My Soul Whispers is a glimpse into a session with Licia. It offers guidance that calls you to lean into your faith, clarify your beliefs, identify your values, and set clear intentions to become your most authentic, highest self.

    JANET BELL, BUSINESS OWNER
