Transparency, Leadership by Example, Caring (TLC)
It’s what I ask of my clients.
I keep things simple. My consulting approach is to customize to the needs of my clients. I listen, assess, and analyze the current state. I learn from the pockets of excellence to leverage strengths and find out what has failed and why in the past. I equip leadership teams and HR to be positioned to lead confidently and competently, as diversity and inclusion advocates with an inclusive leadership lens.
Our success together depends on the inputs from you. Garbage in, garbage out.
I promise to give you transparency, leading by example, caring and empathy, and I need that from each of you. If you do not agree or think something is not clear, please come talk to me about it. I welcome feedback and actively seek it from my clients. We learn from those radically candid conversations. I ask that we be respectful, but open to piloting new ideas, instead of doing the same things and expecting things to change. If you walk the talk, your authenticity will shine through. It makes it easier for everyone to feel comfortable speaking up and sharing what they truly think is a bright idea.

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.
