Keynote Speaker on Leadership and Team Culture | Former Fortune 500 Operations Leader | Bestselling Author
Lisa Even knows what it is like to be accountable for the strategy, the people, and the numbers.
Before becoming a keynote speaker, Lisa spent more than a decade leading healthcare operations at a Fortune 500 company. She managed multimillion-dollar budgets, led large teams, and was responsible for engagement, productivity, quality, retention, financial performance, and execution through rapid growth and constant change.
That experience taught her that strategy rarely succeeds through planning alone. Results depend on how clearly priorities are communicated, how quickly decisions are made, whether people take ownership, and how consistently leaders maintain accountability.
Today, Lisa is a nationally recognized keynote speaker and bestselling author. She helps organizations close the gap between strategy and everyday performance by equipping leaders and teams to:
- Turn priorities into clear expectations and consistent action
- Build ownership and accountability at every level
- Address communication and performance issues before they slow execution
- Navigate change without losing engagement or momentum
- Strengthen the everyday behaviors that influence retention and performance
One action may seem small. Repeated across an organization, everyday actions create a compounding impact that strengthens culture, accelerates execution, and improves results.
Better leaders and teams. Stronger culture. Measurable results.
Drawing on 15 years of leadership experience, Lisa focuses on the everyday actions that create a compounding impact across three critical areas:
-
Leadership and Everyday Performance
Strengthen how leaders communicate priorities, make decisions, reinforce accountability, and set the tone under pressure.
-
Team Culture and Ownership
Build the trust, expectations, and everyday behaviors that encourage people to contribute ideas, take ownership, and follow through.
-
Change and Execution
Equip leaders and teams to adapt, maintain engagement, and keep priorities moving forward through uncertainty and change.
Together, these actions strengthen culture, accelerate execution, and improve organizational performance.
