How Coaching Supports Today's Executives

Strategic organizations invest in coaches for their top talent, and growth-focused individuals invest in coaches for themselves, committing time and resources to achieve goals more efficiently with a dedicated expert.

Executives I work with are performing at a high level and have potential for more success with ease and greater impact and results in the future.

Many Executives have risen through sheer grit, repeatedly given larger roles and responsibilities without the benefit of strong mentors, so they learned to lead on the fly. They are expected to know how to handle new and uncertain situations, bigger scope and teams, and their teams look to them to know how to handle it all.

Executives want ways to communicate more effectively, hold their teams accountable, and lead with less pressure. In essence, to show up better for their teams and the business, and for their families and friends. Confidence and executive presence are natural by-products of more authentic leadership, clearer communication, and upgrading old mindsets.

Individuals often hire me as a coach when they are exploring new opportunities, advocating for themselves at work or negotiating for higher pay, or wanting support in creating something new.

Coaching is an inner and outer journey, unique to each leader, and help is here!

The higher you go in your leadership, the more you need a trusted partner who will listen to you and tell you the truth, and be dedicated to YOUR growth. I am that person.

A note from Lisa

What Coaching With Me is Like

You may be wondering what coaching with me is like. The best way to find out is to experience it, but I can give you a sense of my approach.

The most important thing I will do as your Coach is create a space for us to really hear you, to understand what’s going on at both the surface and deeper levels, and where the greatest opportunity is. I bring my full presence to our sessions, and between them, I’m thinking about how to support your goals and you as a person.

I believe the wisdom and the answers you need are already within you. I will offer questions, observations, ideas, and intuitions, especially around your goals, blind spots, and assumed limitations, and as we think through things together, insights and action steps will emerge.

I help you create with intention and boldness, and release old habits, thoughts, or patterns that no longer serve you. I care about who you are as a whole person, not just the Executive in the boardroom, so your leadership and well-being will grow together. As you evolve, growth often ripples into your personal life too.

My coaching is grounded in my own lifelong commitment to leadership and learning. I draw from leadership, organizational, and spiritual psychology, intuition, lived experience, and in-the-moment creativity. 

If anything I shared resonates, let’s connect!

It's a privilege to be on this journey together.
My Clients inspire me with their courage, their insights, and their willingness to try something different.
I champion and support them as they face their challenges and rise to meet what's next.
Every Client's success is a win I celebrate with them.

Testimonials

The Impact, In Their Words

“I knew from the first meeting with Lisa that her coaching would be impactful. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be coached at a pivotal time in my career, when I needed to grow in my role to support my organization as it continues to experience significant and rapid growth. Lisa’s approach is dynamic; she wastes no time. We identified strengths and set goals in areas where improvement was needed and got to work. She quickly became more than a coach—a trusted resource and sounding board; I felt like I found a secret weapon. Through Lisa’s coaching, I developed the tools to regain ownership of my time, establish, develop and strengthen relationships with my coworkers, family and friends, and, perhaps most importantly, to experience meaningful growth, both in, and outside of, the office, as a leader in my own right. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking to take his or her career to the next level.”

Caren Yeamans, chief legal officer, the rock-it company

“It might sound cliché, but working with Lisa has changed my life. She asks the hard questions and encourages deep reflection and helps me develop my own authentic path. She has helped me to see where past beliefs and practices have limited my own growth and how I have the capacity and ability to become all that I’ve ever imagined. Within our first coaching engagement, Lisa helped me have honest and clear conversations with my current and potential employers about my desired role and compensation, and helped me arrive at where I am now – at a company where I feel valued and appreciated and where I feel like I am able to make the best use of my talents. What’s more, I parted ways with my former firm in a positive manner and left the door open for future opportunities. I also am experiencing a deeper level of trust and vulnerability in my relationships with others. I am beyond grateful that our paths crossed!”

Wendy Lau, Risk Management Director and Vice President, AECOM

"Working with Lisa has been one of the most transformative experiences of my professional career. As my executive coach, she elevated both my leadership capability and my confidence as a leader—progress that was not only meaningful to me personally but also recognized by my senior leadership team. Lisa possesses a unique ability to reveal blind spots and guides toward greater clarity and focus. Lisa helped me distinguish what is truly important, enabling me to direct my time and energy toward actions that deliver results. She also helped me see my team through a more human lens, encouraging me to approach leadership with greater empathy and compassion. In addition, Lisa emphasized the importance of my own well-being—reminding me that self-care, taking time to recharge, and even something as simple as taking vacations are essential to sustaining effectiveness as a leader. She guided me in developing managers I led into leaders themselves—an impact that has multiplied far beyond my own role. Through our work together, I became more self-assertive, more effective in leading my team, and more intentional in establishing agreements that foster accountability and success. Importantly, the insights and practices I gained through coaching extend well beyond my professional life and have had a lasting positive impact in many areas. I recommend Lisa without reservation to anyone seeking to strengthen their leadership, sharpen their focus, and achieve meaningful growth for not only themselves, but the leaders we lead."

Jason

"I have been a non-profit executive in my LA based organization for over a decade. During that time the organization has grown exponentially. Before working with Lisa, I struggled with being stuck with some unhelpful narratives and was still operating in the mindset of a leader of a fledgling organization, when what was needed of me as a leader had grown exponentially. I felt an instant connection and comfort with Lisa. She is kind, intuitive and the most enthusiastic, unwavering supporter you could hope for. Her wisdom and guidance sparked the guided self-reflection that allowed me to develop into a leader that embraces my role as an executive, stands in my leadership, takes my seat at the table and is confident in my decisions. I was able to grow into the executive leader my organization needed and meet the organization where it is today, not the one it was when I first started. She helped me see that developing my executive self didn’t mean compromising or letting go of my compassionate self but that my compassion is one of my superpowers that serves to strengthen my leadership."

"Working with Lisa was nothing short of transformational. She is truly masterful at her craft — combining expert advice and a level of intuitive insight that is rare to find. She has an extraordinary ability to really listen and provide feedback that is nothing short of remarkable. During my career transition, Lisa was a highly influential source of inspiration, encouragement, and wisdom. Her brilliance, kindness, and support really helped me move forward with confidence and purpose. I’m so beyond grateful to have worked with Lisa. If you’re looking for a coach that will empower you and support you as you transform your professional and personal life, look no further than Lisa. She’s a game-changer."

Melody Barooni, Founder, Aligned Voices Executive Coaching

"Participating in the Insights & Elevation coaching experience with Lisa has been one of the best decisions I made this year. I was in need of inspiration in both my professional and personal life. Lisa was so thoughtful in hearing my needs, understanding my goals and supporting me to design a program that was just perfect for me. Lisa helped me to re-focus by connecting with myself, tapping into new ways of thinking and approach obstacles in a productive manner. Through the coaching, I have strengthened my mindset, and feel confident in navigating everyday life."

Sujata Israni, Global Human Resources Excutive

"Working with Lisa totally transformed the way I thought about and approached leadership. Before I began coaching with Lisa, I was struggling with finding my footing, my voice, and what the actual work of leadership is. I found myself trying to prove my value by doing everyone else’s work, instead of knowing how to support and empower my direct reports to make their own contribution. Lisa helped me to be grounded, ask better questions, and gain more confidence in my role. In addition, Lisa helped me take an objective inventory of my self-care and improve that as well which in turn helped me show up in a better way for my colleagues and company. Lisa is a special blend of insightful, encouraging, and no-nonsense which makes opening up and being vulnerable about the things you want to improve very easy. The growth and perspective I gained through her training has been noticed by several senior people I report to, which ultimately resulted in a promotion. Thank you Lisa!!"

Director, Motion Picture Production Health & Safety + Transportation

"I first met Lisa when I began working at a new company in the entertainment business a little over four years ago. At the time, my team was undergoing tremendous transformation. Lisa was a stabilizing and guiding force that worked with us tirelessly to develop fresh starts and better relationships with one another. She continued to work with individual members of the team over the next few years and I never failed to see marked improvement in those that she coached. It was finally time for my one-on-one coaching with Lisa and I can say without qualification that the experience was transformative in the most positive way. Lisa is one of those people who can truly “see” others and understand their motivations, fears and challenges. She is intuitive beyond compare. But the most helpful thing about that intuition was that she knew exactly what to say and what questions to ask to lead me to realize for myself the things that she had already picked up upon. For example, I could articulate that I felt negatively about something, but she helped me to understand why I felt that way, which in turn helped me to identify strategies for positive change. Lisa helped me to gain a new sense of self awareness about my thoughts and feelings and enabled me to finally gain control over my stress level and anxiety. Work became more fun and interesting. My relationships with my coworkers improved. And most importantly, I gained a completely renewed sense of confidence and self-worth. On top of everything else, Lisa is a genuinely kind, thoughtful, sincere person who is an absolute joy to spend time with. I would highly recommend Lisa as an executive coach to any/everyone without reservation."
