Lead with conviction and clarity
For evolving leaders with big ideas
Leading can be lonely
Once you reach a certain level in an organization, you need to be ‘on’ and ready to go all the time.
There are fewer and fewer people you can have an unfiltered discussion with, to structure your thoughts and create a plan to go forward.
You just wish you had a safe space to sort through what is on your mind, what you are working on and the challenges you must deal with.
Overcome self-doubt with a strategic thought partner
I will help you find the clarity to articulate your ideas with confidence and know exactly what to do next.
Together we will structure your ideas, scan the potential impact, gather necessary information from across the organization, organize it and build plans to move it forward.

For evolving leaders with big ideas
If you have recently been promoted, or joined a company in a leadership position, you need an unbiased thought-partner to make the most of your new position.
I work with leaders across all industries, in companies of all sizes, to bring clarity and structure to your thinking, communicate your vision and create pragmatic plans to make it real.
And when you need it, I will be your unbiased sounding board.

“You won't even know how important or eye opening your conversations with Lisa are, until you've had them, taken time to evaluate them, and then use the advice and tools to your benefit. I'm blown away.”

The power of a strategic thought partner
Clients tell me the greatest value I bring to our coaching sessions is the diversity of my management consulting experience. I have most likely worked on or near a similar situation so I can understand your language very quickly. This diversity includes having worked in multiple industries, at all levels, in many sectors, various size organizations from months to multi-year projects.

Coaching style and results
Interviewed by Jim Masters from Blog-talk Radio on February 15, 2021, learn more about my coaching style, what it is like to work with a strategic thought partner and clients results and success stories.
Engage your strategic thought partner
It starts with a 30-minute phone or video call. This is not a sales pitch – the purpose of this call is to see if we are a good match and if I may be able to help. And you need to be comfortable that I am the right strategic thought partner.
If we are a good match, we will talk prices and schedules and get you started.
My coaching programs run in 3-month cycles, with limited coaching sessions every second week and a few weekly sessions for short sprints. Together we will do our best to find a time that works if there is an opening.
