Lee Woodward: Champion for Authentic Adulting

With over 30 years of experience navigating the high stakes and precision demands of the aerospace industry and global corporate leadership, I've cultivated an expertise not just in pioneering next-generation opportunities but also in mentoring the next generation of adults. My background in aerospace, where we pushed the boundaries of the possible and often dealt with the complexities of 'first flights,' parallels the challenges of modern adulting—complex, ever-changing, and requiring resilience.

Professional Expertise

• Fortune 100 Leadership: My corporate journey includes leading global talent management and organizational effectiveness for 120,000 employees at a Fortune 100 company. I rounded out my corporate career managing customer/product support in a $14 billion aerospace division. These roles honed my strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, which I now apply to Simplify Adulting.
• Aerospace Experience: My career in aerospace taught me about the rigors of innovation and the resilience needed in the face of challenges—qualities that perfectly align with the demands of adulting today.
• Entrepreneurship: My entrepreneurial path has taught me the importance of adaptability in navigating new ventures and the need to develop frameworks to provide structure in a sea of uncertainty.

Coaching Philosophy

Adulting can feel as complex as rocket science. It involves navigating big visions and coping with the setbacks of pushing new boundaries every day. I draw on my extensive professional background and personal insights to help individuals manage the overwhelming aspects of adulting. Whether it's career development, financial management, relationships, or simply finding happiness, I believe in making adulting manageable and enjoyable.

My Approach

Using innovative strategies such as Deep Listening, the Art of Feminine Presence, and practical problem-solving techniques, I help individuals simplify life's challenges. My goal is to empower people to transition from feeling overwhelmed to discovering actionable solutions, providing the tools and support needed to thrive in our fast-paced digital world.

My Focus

Today, I am dedicated to supporting people who feel stuck and overwhelmed by the complexities of adulting. My approach is not only about imparting knowledge but also about inspiring action and resilience. I help people see their daily 'first flights' not as insurmountable challenges but as opportunities for growth and success.
