Use your HUMAN like never before.

Hi…

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.

What’s on the table.

Humanness-Centric Coaching

Through one-on-one personal, life or executive coaching, including longer-term mentoring opportunities, I’ll support you to reconnect with what makes you uniquely human in a world that often asks you to be anything but. With proven global success supporting people across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and the UK, we'll work through my 5R framework – Reflect, Reframe, Reimagine, Refocus, and Recommit – to address your specific contexts, challenges and aspirations. Whether you're navigating career or leadership transitions, personal development crossroads, or simply seeking greater meaning and connection with yourself and others around you, this deep and important work creates lasting transformations and impacts that ripple across and into every area of your world and life.

Strategic Consulting

These immersive sessions – whether half-day workshops, full-day retreats, or custom experiences – create powerful opportunities for transformation. Designed specifically for your team, organisation, or community, each experience blends strategic thinking with creative practices that reconnect participants with humanness-centric principles, behaviours and actions. These aren't typical corporate workshops; they're thoughtfully crafted experiences that shift perspectives, foster genuine connection, and catalyse meaningful change long after the experience ends. As an inspiring public speaker, I bring these same principles to conferences, events, and gatherings, delivering talks that challenge conventional thinking and inspire meaningful action.

Tailored Experiences

Strategic consultancy that transforms organisations by placing humanness-centric principles at the core of business operations. Drawing from my extensive and diverse executive experience across commercial, nonprofit, and government sectors, this consultancy combines rigorous business acumen with deep human understanding – creating systems where both results and relationships flourish. Specialising in strategy and vision, corporate governance, business development, revenue generation and diversification, grant writing, and service design, this partnership navigates complex change, builds authentic leadership capacity, and develops strategies that support both bottom lines and the humans implementing them.

Why me?

Let’s talk.

Exploring whether we're the right feel and fit…

I believe that the most powerful work happens when there's a genuine connection between us. I love meeting new people, even for the briefest of moments or encounters. That's why it starts with a conversation—no obligation, no pressure, just two humans figuring out if we're meant to create, do, be or achieve something together.

During our free 30-minute phone or video call, we'll explore what's led you here, what you're hoping to partner on or resolve, and whether my humanness-centric approach resonates with where you are right now or sometime in the future.

It's about engaging in a shared experience of curiosity whilst discovering if I'm the right human to walk with you wherever it is you want or are being led to go. I’m pretty unique and an acquired taste, so sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not— either way is perfectly okay. I see it as a gifted opportunity and privilege to share with you my time, experiences, ears and open mind, in exchange for your own.
