Lis bio
With over 20 years of experience as an ICF and EMCC-qualified coach, I now specialise in positive leadership, strengths-based development, and workplace wellbeing. Currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, Organisations, and Leadership, I combine evidence-based research with practical strategies to help leaders and teams build resilience, develop positive communication, and thrive.
​
As a multi-award-winning and TEDx speaker, I’ve delivered hundreds of keynotes, training programmes and coaching sessions.
​
I believe people excel when they play to their strengths, not when they’re constantly told what their weaknesses are. That’s why I help organisations move from deficit-focused cultures to strengths-driven leadership, where wellbeing fuels performance and resilience drives success.
Through consulting, training, speaking and coaching, I empower leaders and teams to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.
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."
