I understand what it’s like to feel like you have more to give and more impact to create in the world.

Although I’ve been leading and coaching people for nearly 10 years, it’s been a combination of my personal journey, knowledge and expertise that has enabled me to help others achieve their goals.

I’ve heard many great bits of advice over the years, but I always come back to “You happen to the world, not the other way around.” These are the words that have brought me more laughter, success, and impact.

Fun facts about me:

​

• Originally from small town Iowa and I have nearly 60 first cousins!

• My career started in high school at a tiny café where I washed dishes and served breakfast to farmers, truckers, and locals. I learned more at this job than I could ever have imagined!

• Eight years ago my husband and I were burnt out and over-scheduled. We realized that we were miserable and needed a change. We now have a monthly JOY calendar filled with activities and fun.

• We believe that if you wait around for JOY to come, it will never happen. That is why I we (my family and I) believe that JOY is our J-O-B.

• I do my best to live out my first leader’s advice, “Lisa, if they ask you to make a cup of coffee, make the best damn cup of coffee they’ve ever had."

• I believe that everything we say and do creates a ripple…happy or crappy our choice.

• I am on a mission to connect with 1 million people
