Consulting &
Senior Leader Coaching
No one makes it to the Olympics without coaches or advisors. Today’s top executives and senior leaders face a cocktail of workplace complexities and an ever shifting environment like never before. So much is coming at you, so like the Olympian, having a coach or trusted advisor to provide fresh perspectives, informed by organizational and adult learning expertise as well as practical business knowledge is no longer a luxury, but critical to success.
Become a more audacious leader. Whether working one-on-one with Lisa as executive coach or trusted advisor, with her on your side, you can expect:
• Faster, more agile and contemporary strategy.
• Fewer decision roadblocks for accelerated right action.
• Improved strategic skills among your leadership and management teams.
• Greater safety for staff to share their honest thoughts and offer more innovative recommendations.
• Increased ability of your people to productively zig and zag in today’s rapid and ever-changing workplace.
• Bolstered confidence. Fearlessly ask powerful questions and engage expertise different from your own to secure your place as an exemplar of effective leadership.
Consulting/Executive Coaching
Working one on one, Lisa will take a more directive approach to help you accomplish a specific goal or address a particular leadership behavior. You will expand your leadership confidence and capabilities as you complete real work in the process. Lisa’s best clients often find that they get more done with less effort and stress.
An additional option is Lisa’s Intimate Assessments (LIA™) on the job at critical junctures. This allows for in-the-moment observation and insights.
“In the role of strategic advisor and executive coach, Lisa was very helpful to me during a time of critical transition at the High Line. Not only were we reeling from the new world we found ourselves in, but changes in leadership were afoot. My senior leadership team and I had to manage our teams and the organization differently. Lisa was responsive to our needs with a combined perceptiveness, knowledge of organizations and insights into people.
Lisa instigated a significant breakthrough among VPs, helping them see their roles as more strategic than transactional. She helped us productively navigate delicate DEIA issues, improve our functioning as a senior leadership team and helped reduce stress levels for us, which reduced stress organizationally.
It’s lonely at the top. There are times when talking to the Board or staff is inappropriate. Having Lisa to discuss sensitive issues and strategize with in complete safety was invaluable.”

Senior Leadership Team Coaching
Effective Senior Leadership Teams recognize and accept their dual (and often dueling) responsibilities, i.e. independence as department head and inter-dependance as co-leader for the overall health and success of the organization at large.
With Lisa, your senior leaders will work together in ways that reinforce each other…not their respective silos. They will also get clear about their accountabilities to each other and for the short and long term success of the organization.
Lisa will work with you and your senior leaders as a group to answer and execute on these two critical questions:
• What does it mean for us to be a senior leadership team?
• What is our work as the senior leadership team?
You will set and agree upon expectations for working together as well as specific outcomes to achieve. Simple yet challenging work.
“Lisa is masterful at helping get clarity about multiple and layered issues I faced leading a national team in a growing organization. There is a brilliance in the way she re-casts complex situations into the simple, digestible and actionable.
I now have a bigger and higher functioning team. Communication is improved, goals are clear and decisions are faster with better outcomes.
Working with Lisa individually and with my team, I’m always impressed that we get much more done than I thought was possible in the time we had.”
Dr. Noel Anderson, former YearUp National Senior Director of Program
