Lisa was voted “Most Talkative” in her high school class. (Classmate Sandra Bullock won “Most Likely to Brighten Your Day,” proving that they both chose the right careers.)

From that talkative start, Lisa began to recognize that the way we communicate with each other determines our success or failure in every endeavor. When she started her career in sales she was fascinated to see how small nuances in communication could affect the outcome of an entire organization.

Lisa’s first book, Forget Perfect, was the result of spending years on the road doing seminars. In countless after hours dinners and early morning coffees with participants, Lisa could see that work-life divide we’ve created is false. People are just people.

By digging behind surface behaviors she could see the way people’s internal dialogue affects the way they show up for work and life. She recognized that we all want the same thing – connection and meaning. We want to know that we make a difference.

Lisa’s purpose is to help people recognize the value of their own lives. When you realize how much your words and actions truly matter, you’re more inclined to bring your best into any situation.When one person changes, it affects everything, and everyone, in their orbit.

It’s true, you really are the one the world has been waiting for.And so is everybody else.
