IS THIS YOUR EXPERIENCE?
🌿 Feeling pulled in too many directions?
Maybe your mind is racing with opportunities that don’t feel aligned.
Or clarity feels just out of reach, no matter how hard you think it through.
Perhaps that spark for learning and growth—the one that used to energize you—feels dim.
What if these moments of overwhelm and uncertainty were simply invitations…
to pause, breathe, and listen beneath the noise?
To notice what your Sage within already knows: your next step begins with presence, not pressure.

You're craving clarity about what's next
Whether you’re starting something new or evolving where you are, you’re ready to make choices that align with who you are—and who you desire to become.
You’re seeking more purpose and direction
You know there’s more to life than just checking boxes. You want your learning, your work, and your growth to be in service of something that matters to you.
You want to feel empowered, not overwhelmed
Life gets busy, noisy, and demanding. Coaching creates a pause—a space to reflect, reconnect with yourself, and chart a clear, energized path forward.
Work with LouAnne
One to One Coaching
Each session is a space just for you—a place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Together, we will:
-
Clarify your purpose – Explore what drives you, what you're curious about, and what kind of life and learning path feel aligned with your values.
-
Set meaningful goals – Whether you're navigating a transition, pursuing growth, or seeking balance, we’ll identify goals that feel inspiring and achievable.
-
Create pathways forward – We’ll map out next steps that are doable and personalized to you—fueled by agency, not pressure.
-
Build your self-awareness – You’ll notice patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and deepen your understanding of yourself as a learner and leader in your own life.
-
Celebrate progress – We'll recognize your growth every step of the way, no matter how big or small.
These sessions are not about giving you answers—they’re about helping you discover your own. You’ll leave each one feeling seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and courage.
Coach Training
At EmpowerEd Coaching, our coach training isn’t about scripts or quick fixes—it’s about cultivating your capacity to lead with purpose, presence, and partnership.
During this transformational experience, you will:
-
Learn to listen differently – Develop the coaching mindset and learn how to hold space that unlocks others’ thinking, agency, and ownership.
-
Master powerful coaching skills – Ask questions that spark insight, use frameworks that support clarity and follow-through, and navigate conversations that lead to growth—not resistance.
-
Strengthen your leadership – Build trust, promote reflection, and foster deeper connection with the educators you lead and support.
-
Model purpose-driven learning – Experience coaching for yourself as a learner, so you can show up for others with authenticity and empathy.
-
Transform how you support others – Shift from “fixing” to “partnering,” and create the conditions for sustainable adult learning and empowered change.
You won’t just walk away with a toolkit—you’ll leave with a mindset, a skillset, and a new sense of purpose in how you lead, coach, and grow others.
PQ for Individuals
Strengthen Your Mind.
Empower Your Growth.
At EmpowerEd Coaching, we believe transformation begins within. The Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coaching Program helps you build the mental fitness to quiet self-sabotage, boost your inner wisdom, and lead your life from a place of calm confidence.
Rooted in neuroscience and cognitive behavioral science, this experience helps you strengthen your Self-Command Muscle — your ability to pause, reframe, and respond with clarity instead of reactivity.
You’ll learn to recognize the voices of your Saboteurs (like the Judge, Pleaser, or Controller) and shift to your Sage — the part of you that sees possibilities, acts with empathy, and moves forward with grounded courage.
💫 You will:
-
Identify the thoughts and habits that drain your energy and focus.
-
Learn quick, practical PQ exercises to reset your mind in the moment.
-
Reconnect with your purpose and values to make aligned decisions.
-
Experience more peace, joy, and confidence in daily life.
💬 What’s Included:
-
Access to the PQ app with guided audio practices, videos, and reflections.
-
Weekly 1 : 1 coaching sessions for accountability and integration.
-
A supportive framework for lasting mindset change.
The Result: A quieter mind. A wiser heart. A stronger sense of self-command.
ABOUT US
Meet LouAnne Metzger
Imagine a world where every educator—whether new to their journey, highly experienced, or somewhere in between—feels deeply seen, supported, and aligned with their unique calling.
That’s where I come in.
As a retired public school educator and administrator with 33 years of experience, I now support individuals in reconnecting with their purpose, reimagining their impact, and leading with clarity, courage, and compassion. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind your work, helping you move from surviving to thriving—and from simply leading to truly transforming.
I am a certified Academic Life Coach through Coach Training EDU and hold the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), anchoring my practice in both experience and the highest standards of ethical excellence.
At the heart of my coaching is a belief in joy, hope, and liberation through being who you are called to be.
Outside of coaching, I’m endlessly curious and find joy in oyster farming, hiking, and cooking slow food for my family and friends.
OUR MISSION
To empower and liberate purpose-driven learners by helping them align their growth with their deeper purpose, ignite their impact, and sustain their passion for lifelong learning and positive change.
At EmpowerEd Coaching, giving back is woven into the fabric of our values. A percentage of our earnings is dedicated to supporting causes close to our hearts. We proudly contribute to the DeFeet Cancer - The Dalton Fox Foundation, striving to eradicate childhood bone cancer in honor of a beloved former student. Additionally, our commitment extends to Lynnhaven River NOW, an organization devoted to safeguarding the waterways of Virginia Beach. Through these contributions, we aim to make a meaningful impact, not only in the lives of educators but also in creating positive change in our broader community.
I have had the pleasure of working with LouAnne as both a coaching client and colleague. Her ability to coach with empathy and insight has been invaluable in my own growth and development. Even outside of our coaching sessions, I find myself reflecting on the thoughtful questions LouAnne has asked me, which continue helping me process challenges and opportunities.
