Here’s what folks who have worked with Lisa have said:

Lisa was a real value add to our organization in a time of flux. She came in, assessed our needs, and was able to put her extensive experiences with HR and people management to work as we tried to bring our HR systems and structures in line with our values. Months after her exit, Lisa's work continues to support our team in working more effectively with each other and our partners.

Lisa was a self-directed support to me as the CEO. I could tell her what I was struggling with, who I needed to get on board, and she was able to mobilize, keep me updated on progress, and respond nimbly to feedback as needed. She quickly became a necessary resource for folks throughout the organization, and when we were ready to bring on a full-time person in-house, she led the search that delivered an excellent hire.

Folks in transition, folks who need a sharp listening ear, leaders who need an open and strategic mind to support their planning would all be great fits for Lisa's superpowers!

-Joy, CEO

Lisa is an exceptional facilitator. She broke down complex concepts and pushed the group toward action, ambitious goal setting, and compromise where we had previously failed. As a result, we have made more progress in 8 weeks than all of last year.

-Mandy, Nonprofit Board Member

Lisa’s ability to cut through the noise has been immensely helpful and while I have work to do, I found that working with her has made me more confident in my leadership ability. It has also provided resources to pull from instead of making it up on the fly or constantly feeling like I am guessing!

-Josh, Managing Director

I had the pleasure of working with Lisa.  During that time,  I would often turn to her to thought partner on complex and nuanced human capital strategies. Lisa’s ability to listen closely, ask stimulating follow-up and clarifying questions, synthesize information, and ultimately provide a variety of possible solutions was uncanny.

It is not often you have colleagues with such a diverse work experience. Lisa’s accumulated lived experiences combined with her robust people management skill set made her an invaluable partner.
— Adam, Executive Director

I have known Lisa for the past 5 years, and she is a truly exceptional human whose passion and focus are unparalleled. I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Lisa since 2016. Lisa has been my strategic ally and sounding board throughout this process. As the board chair of our start-up school, Lisa has had the opportunity to be involved in every aspect of the organization’s operations and strategy. A skilled educator and administrator in her own right, she has often lent her expertise in a thoughtful and gracious manner. Her passion for social justice through education is admirable, and I’m ever grateful that she has joined me on this journey. Our school’s success is in large part due to her guidance and support.

Lisa is a fierce advocate for all of her communities, whether professional or personal. I'm happy to know her and call her a colleague and friend.
— Graham, Executive Director

Working with Lisa is a rewarding experience and I am grateful for the guidance and skills she brings. Lisa helped me shape my nonprofit by guiding me to implement better systems and organization, helping to craft my vision through thoughtful questioning and coaching. Thanks to this guidance we were able to put systems into place to support the growth of our board, document our processes and compliance and to streamline our procedures. She is a skillful strategic thinker, who applies expert planning and strategy to the work she does. We are stronger through her guidance and expertise. -- I really wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her coaching and professional development support.
