Coaching with me isn’t about following a formula—it’s about finding what works for you.
With a background in coaching, consulting, and improvisation, I help leaders, executives, and teams communicate clearly, lead with confidence, and adapt with ease. My approach is straightforward: I listen, ask the right questions, and help you build skills that make a real difference.
🎭 Improvisation Meets Leadership – Whether you're giving a speech, leading a team, or making decisions under pressure, the skills from improv—staying present, responding thoughtfully, and working with what’s in front of you—are invaluable.
📊 Practical, Measurable Growth – Coaching is an investment, and studies show it can provide a significant return, with many professionals seeing gains far beyond their initial commitment.
🔹 A Mix of Coaching & Consulting – Some days you need a thought partner; other days, you need direct guidance. I adjust based on what will help you move forward.
🔹 Professionals who want to communicate effectively & lead with confidence
🔹 Teams that need to work together more effectively & build trust
🔹 Individuals preparing for career shifts, leadership roles, or high-stakes presentations
✅ A clear structure tailored to your goals
✅ Techniques for handling high-pressure situations & engaging your audience
✅ Sessions designed for real results—not just conversation
💡 Focused Coaching (3-month program for a specific goal)
⭐ Comprehensive Coaching (6-month in-depth development)
🚀 Executive Coaching (12-month full-scale leadership growth)

As Deputy Director of Communications, I needed a retreat that improved internal communication while keeping it fun. I knew improv would be engaging, but I wasn’t sure how well it would build teamwork—until I saw it in action. Improv Consultants surpassed expectations, delivering practical strategies and uniting the team through laughter. The session was both effective and unforgettable.

Lisa helped me design a highly interactive and engaging workshop about money. Her guidance and feedback made all the difference in creating an impactful experience for my audience. I’ve become a more confident, grounded presenter with her help. My workshop wouldn’t have happened without her—I can’t recommend Lisa enough!
Lisa is a skilled trainer who brings improv-based learning to leadership and team development. I first saw her in action at a speaker event, and I now benefit from her expertise regularly. Her ability to combine deep knowledge, engaging communication, and a sense of fun makes her my top recommendation for team-building and leadership training. She creates lasting results and real impact.
Lisa isn’t just a trainer—she draws people in, puts them at ease, and helps them unlock their potential. She has a deep understanding of her subject and keeps sessions fun while ensuring learning sticks. Whether working with individuals or teams, she brings out the best in people. Attending her course was a pleasure, and I’d jump at the chance to work with her again.
