The Intentional Collective was born from a shared belief that life isn’t something that just happens — it’s something you design with purpose.

We’re Lauren and Chris Reese, partners in life and in vision. For years, we’ve navigated successful careers in corporate America — Lauren as a Vice President of Human Resources and executive coach, and Chris as a Director of Operations and Industrial Engineer. On paper, life looked great. But we knew there was more — a life built on intention, not autopilot.

Over the past five years, we’ve completely re-engineered our lives through vision-driven goal setting, habit design, and aligned action. What started as a personal experiment to design our ideal life became a repeatable framework — one that’s helped us and others experience clarity, connection, and breakthrough growth.

Lauren brings over a decade of HR leadership, coaching high-performing executives to find purpose beyond performance. Her passion is guiding people to step into their full potential - to design and live out their dream life.

Chris brings 15 years of process expertise and systems thinking from the world of operations and industrial engineering. His focus is on turning inspiration into implementation — helping others create sustainable systems that bring their vision to life.

Together, we founded The Intentional Collective to help individuals and couples unlock the same transformation we experienced.
