I’m Lisa, and it’s genuinely great to meet you!

Throughout my life, and particularly over the past few years, I've witnessed how much harder and increasingly complex our worlds have become – both within and around us. The push-pulls, stressors, demands and tensions constantly distract us from what matters most – our humanness and our ability to connect.

My early years were tough, bookended by dysfunction, disconnection and at times great despair. Trite, but truthful, these experiences became my greatest guides and teachers, building within me instinctive skills, resilience to strategise, courage to negotiate, and endurance to navigate any challenge, situation or environment I was faced with and overcame.

My journey hasn't been easy, conventional or linear. Neither have my successes and failures which have led me from being heart-wrenchingly unemployable, to the privileged positions of Chairperson and CEO. Yes, I have the MBA and enough of the 'right' letters after my name to turn-the-heads-of, engage and impress the people who care about that kinda stuff.

I speak almost fluent corporate, NGO, government and private business. I understand organisational realities, balance sheets and triple bottom lines. I've secured and generated tens of millions of dollars, made boardroom decisions impacting tens of thousands of people, led organisations through unprecedented transformation, and worked alongside communities facing challenges you wouldn't wish on your enemy. Through it all, I've learned that beneath the shiny titles and endless seeking of achievement and ambitions, we're all seeking the same thing: to meaningfully belong, purposefully contribute, and genuinely connect.

I create environments where transformation happens naturally – with an ability to read the room and sense what's not being said. I intuitively understand what people, organisations and communities need to reach their next level or achievement.

I translate bold strategies into unintimidating steps and transform audacious visions into day-to-day reality, while demonstrating how to be a leader, parent, colleague or friend who is both strong and strategic while remaining vulnerable and authentic.

My purpose is to partner with you to reclaim what matters most – whether in your business, relationships, community or self. My purpose and the dream that keeps me awake at night is supporting all people to live more human, lead more human, and be more HUMAN.
