Lis bio
With over two decades of experience as an ICF and EMCC qualified Life, Leadership, and Business Coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my work, combining practical insights with a deep understanding of human potential. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology, Organisations, and Leadership, which strengthens my commitment to developing evidence-based well-being and positive psychology approaches to leadership and teams.
​
My other qualifications include being a Master NLP Business Practitioner and a Mindfulness Practitioner, reflecting my holistic approach to leadership development. I am level II certified in Mental Health First Aid and Advocacy, enabling me to support mental health initiatives within the workplace safely and effectively.
​
As a professional speaker, I have been honoured with two speaker awards and have delivered a TEDx talk, sharing insights on well-being as with diverse audiences. My experience spans delivering hundreds of talks, webinars, coaching and training sessions to individuals as well as both profit and non-profit organisations over the past 20 years, earning consistent praise and testimonials for my relatable and impactful approach.
​
Having overcome many challenges in my own life, as well as having worked in corporate environments, I understand the unique challenges faced, and am passionate about helping others navigate these with resilience, clarity, and confidence. Whether through one-on-one coaching, group trainings, keynote speaking or retreats, my goal is to empower individuals, leaders, teams and organisations to thrive in a complex world.
A recent testimonial from the Women in Finance UK summit
"I was lucky enough to work with Lis on the recent Women in Finance Summit, where she ran the Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Workshop. As a producer and organiser, she was a dream: flexible enough to run the workshop on silent disco headsets; taking the initiative to bring the session to life with materials for attendees; not to mention the content.
​
Lis's insights were nothing short of invaluable. Her deep understanding of the challenges of "making it” as a woman in business was evident, and she guided the participants through identifying root causes for their imposter syndrome, identifying their self-saboteurs, and made real lasting impact.
​
I wholeheartedly recommend Lis for any workshop or event focused on personal and professional development. Her expertise, coupled with her personable approach, makes her an outstanding facilitator who can make a meaningful impact on individuals and groups alike. Thank you, Lis, for an unforgettable experience that will undoubtedly have a lasting effect on our attendee’s personal and professional journeys."
