Leaders lacking self-awareness often show up as busy, stressed, authoritarian, or overwhelmed. They struggle to separate their emotions from their actions, leading to team disengagement, frustration, and interpersonal friction.

According to the Harvard Business Review, “Leaders with high emotional intelligence contribute to a 20% improvement in team performance.”

In this keynote, Lisa shares actionable strategies for building self-awareness and the four factors that predict positive presence: energy, expression, tone, and intention—all of which are essential for positively influencing team dynamics.
