What Clients Say About Me

"I have been working with Lisa for the past 2+ years, as I transitioned from one leadership role in my firm to another. Her coaching has been one of the most important and rewarding experiences of my professional life and has provided me with solid grounding as I navigated this past year.

Lisa’s coaching style strikes a perfect balance of structured conversations designed to build competence in dealing with collaboratively identified personal challenges and open conversations that permit flexibility to discuss the problem of the moment.

Over our time together, we’ve discussed the role of race – I’m white – and gender – I’m female – in succeeding to leadership of a previously white male founder-led firm that is increasingly, intentionally racially, ethnically, and gender diverse. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about my relationship to particular partners and other firm leaders, both as individuals and as men and women who come from a variety of places and cultures. Conversations that might have been uncomfortable have, instead, been thought provoking, provocative and engaging, in significant part because Lisa has put in the work to learn the culture of our firm and, thus, can help guide me toward solutions that will actually work.

I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to understand how they can be a more effective leader."

"Before talking with Lisa, I was in transition, looking for my next career opportunity, and felt chaos during the job search process. My one conversation with Lisa made a difference. The questions Lisa asked made me realize where I would be the happiest. We talked about my strengths from the StrengthsFinder assessment and from then on, I only moved forward with job positions where I could play to my strengths. Lisa helped me find my focus and as a result, I ended up in the right role, in the right environment, with the right team."

“Lisa’s innate ability to form deep connections blew me away – I felt like I had known her my entire life after just our first conversation. Through her personalized coaching style I found the courage to clearly understand and articulate my value as a leader for the first time, resulting in a step change promotion. I owe a great deal to Lisa’s intentional listening and insightful feedback and am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her!”

"Lisa is a gifted facilitator with a unique combination of deep DEI expertise, empathy, and wisdom. I was fortunate to work with Lisa as she was the lead consultant responsible for the development and delivery of a comprehensive DEI education series for the HR function of my organization. Her thought partnership and knowledge was invaluable, and she was able to bring ideas and concepts to life in the virtual world in a way that was as meaningful to participants as being in the same physical space. My experience of Lisa was as a partner in the best sense of the word – someone who works side by side with the client, shares ownership and accountability, and is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that our joint desired outcomes were achieved. My only regret from our project was that it did have a finite ending, since it meant I was no longer able to benefit from a weekly infusion of Lisa’s good humor, sharp insights, and drive for excellence. I would highly recommend Lisa as a thought partner, coach, facilitator, and program designer."
