What are you waiting for?
Wishing Out Loud is currently accepting new clients and speaking engagements.
Book NowI love to help my clients gain clarity on their core values as they set their priorities. I love to see them succeed as they set their goals and use my Wishing Out Loud® coaching model and R.O.C.K.S.™ methodology and approach to progress towards making those dreams a reality.
The Wishing Out Loud® R.O.C.K.S.™ Approach, created and trademarked by Lisa M. Ong, PCC, CPA, is her signature coaching framework that helps leaders, teams, and professionals ask for what they need with clarity, build meaningful relationships, and create cultures of belonging. At its core, the approach teaches people to invest in lasting trusting relationships to keep “wishing out loud,” turning hopes into clear, actionable asks that others can support.
The R.O.C.K.S. ™ acronym stands for:
- Resources — the tools, information, or support you need to move forward.
- Opportunities — chances to grow, stretch, or shine.
- Connections — people who can help, advise, or open doors.
- Knowledge — insights, skills, or expertise that strengthen your path.
- Support — encouragement, advocacy, and sponsorship that sustain momentum.
Why the R.O.C.K.S.™ Approach matters
It gives leaders and emerging professionals a simple, memorable way to:
- Build trust through meaningful conversations
- Strengthen relationships by giving and asking with intention
- Create clarity around goals and next steps
- Foster inclusive cultures where people feel seen, valued, and supported

What Lisa’s clients say.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa while she was at PwC. The first time we connected, her in-depth knowledge of many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics, coupled with an incredible thirst to learn more, left me awestruck.Read moreI always enjoy our conversations as she often teaches me something, inspires me to learn more, and helps me to think differently. She was the first person I thought of when my new company was looking for experts and visionaries to help expand our knowledge in critical areas of DEI, go to market perspectives, etc. Lisa’s incredible curiosity and her role as a connector to ideas and people inform great insights- spend an hour with her, and you’ll walk away refreshed and inspired. I would highly recommend her as a coach, strategist, or in any capacity- she is a delight to know, and I feel fortunate to be in her orbit. Close

I’m a believer in Lisa’s Wishing Out Loud® methodology. There is something energetically empowering about stating what you desire out loud, not just keeping it embedded inside of you.Read more I recently wished out loud about a career opportunity that I wanted on a call with Lisa, and only a few days later, the opportunity materialized, and previous obstacles disappeared. Lisa’s methodology and coaching are powerful! Close
