How I can work with you
I have three core services to help individuals and groups change their mindsets, build confidence and reach their potential.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a confidential partnership between the coach and the coachee working towards the goals and results defined by the coachee.
Coaching Model and Approach
The 5 step RAPID Results Model supports you to clarify your result, align your values, feelings and actions, and make consistent progress on your goals.
I use this model as it allows you to create change quickly while developing skills and learning tools you can use going forward.
Click this link to learn more about the model.
While I use this model in my 8 week coaching programme as well as individual one-off sessions, I also draw on other models as well as traditional coaching to make sure you get the coaching that best suits your personality and circumstances.
Empower Individual Coaching
Are you facing a turning point in your life? Maybe in your career, relationship, family or health? Do you feel stuck, tired, frustrated or unfulfilled?
Then my affordable 8 week individual coaching programme using the Rapid Results model could be the answer you are seeking.
Coaching sessions are generally between 45 and 90 minutes long and are done either over the phone or via zoom. Coaching programmes can be paid up front or there is a payment plan available.
Clients who have invested in this programme have achieved their goals and feel like now have the attitude and skills they need to have the life they desire and more importantly deserve!
I also provide one off or shorter term coaching packages to suit individual needs as well as packages for ongoing monthly coaching.
Enable New Leaders Development Programme
The key focus of this programme is to grow capability and confidence to lead for new and aspiring leaders.
The individual one to one coaching programme involves five steps, and is tailored based on the results of the leadership practice audit.
- Leadership Practice Audit to understand context, strengths and areas to develop
- Leading Self to develop self awareness and self management
- Stepping into role to extend existing interpersonal skills to the context of leading others
- Leading teams focusing on four critical leadership conversations
- Commitment to continuous learning to create an ongoing leadership development plan.
Programmes generally run over 8 - 12 weeks depending on need.
One off leadership coaching sessions to tackle a specific issue are also available.

Workshops are up to half a day long and can be delivered face to face or online. They can be tailored to your environment using language and examples that fit your context and challenges.
Culture and team development
Create a productive and empowering team culture using the Emotional Culture Deck game.
- While most organisations focus on values and behaviours studies show the significant impact of emotions on performance and engagement at work.
- When leaders recognise emotions in the workplace, and consciously shape them, they can better serve and motivate their people.
- Research shows emotional culture influences employee satisfaction, motivation, connection, engagement, burnout, teamwork, and even "hard" measures such as financial performance and absenteeism.
There are several ways to use the game to support team and culture development including supporting the formation of new teams, change management, leadership development and building the culture of existing teams.

Testimonials
Emotional Culture Deck Workshop
I have worked with Lisa for some time. She is a go to for me as an HR practitioner wanting to put in place support for my managers. She has a gentle but effective style and brings a whole library of experience, knowledge, tools and networks to the relationship.
Recently she has helped me with the start of building my newly established team. The pre-work, a facilitated first team meeting and a debrief / coaching session has been a great start. I knew it went well when I overheard team members thanking her.
The meeting process felt effortless but well paced and allowed for both individual and team outcomes. I would be pleased to be able to work with Lisa again.

Collaboration Workshop
Lisa facilitated an Enhancing Collaboration workshop for our team of 10. We found her to be very knowledgeable and engaging and our team thoroughly enjoyed their session. She took the brief we gave her and tailored a fast paced and interactive session for our team. We came away with a greater understanding of each other and with a workbook to refer back to. Lisa built a great rapport with the team and feedback was very positive. We will definitely be recommending Lisa to anyone wanting to tailor collaboration workshops.

Individual Coaching Programme
I went into coaching feeling stuck and had a general lack of satisfaction in everyday life. I was looking for tools, resources, and a new perspective for getting back on track and making considered choices about my next steps, especially around my career.
Coaching has helped me to know myself better, how to harness this knowledge and operate from this place going forward. One of the most useful outcomes of coaching was learning about my values and how to use them as a tool for decision making and future thinking.
From coaching I have begun practising a new mindset for approaching challenging situations. It has taught me ways to challenge limiting beliefs and to turn them into more constructive thoughts.
Lisa has given me heaps of awesome advice based on her own experiences and training, which has given me the confidence I needed to begin my leadership journey. I’ve also been given resources and tools that I can apply to achieving goals in all aspects of my life and use to just check in with myself whenever I need to.
Lisa provided me with a safe space to be my authentic self and always tailored and adapted our sessions to what was most beneficial and necessary at the time. I never felt pressured in our sessions to share more than I wanted to.
I would recommend this programme to anyone who is feeling a little stuck and wants to explore practical ways to bring meaning back into their life.
