Lisa has been delivering executive-level coaching, facilitation, and leadership development for individuals and teams since 2008.

Prior to embarking on her coaching career, Lisa worked with Deloitte Canada, Deloitte UK, and BMO. Her experience in these organizations has provided her with a deep understanding of business, which now enriches her coaching expertise.

 

As an executive coach, Lisa has helped her clients:

  • See themselves more clearly: Self-awareness in leaders is highly correlated with organizational effectiveness and profitability, and employees prefer to follow leaders who see themselves and their actions clearly.
  • Identify new ways to respond to situations: Your effectiveness as a leader depends not only on the quality of your own work, but also on your ability to inspire and unite others to work in sync with your mission.
  • Build productive relationships: Strong relationships are often the key driver of both career progression and your efficacy as a leader.

 

Lisa’s executive coaching, facilitation, and leadership development expertise has flourished while working with clients at McCarthy Tetrault, BMO, Munich Re, Manulife, Borden Ladner Gervais, Alectra, the University Health Network, the University of Toronto and Innovative Medicines Canada.

Working with Lisa was a game changer. She has a talent for hearing the real issue behind the concerns tabled, and for providing practical, achievable, real life solutions that make a big difference, immediately.

Her advice and guidance was instrumental in helping me navigate through challenging change management.

Everyone needs a leadership coach, and Lisa is excellent. She is quick to grasp the issues, is practical and solution oriented, is mindful of busy schedules, and is talented at empowering leaders to reach their potential with less transaction costs.
