Lisa Even knows firsthand that leadership isn’t about tracking metrics or delivering perfect PowerPoint slides—it’s about creating a culture where people choose to show up, engage, and make an impact.

But when her engagement scores landed squarely in the middle of the pack, she realized something had to change.
Through hilariously relatable stories, actionable strategies, and practical, repeatable frameworks. Lisa guides leaders and teams to foster leadership presence, build human connection and drive meaningful engagement. The result? High-Performing teams and workplace cultures that balance purpose, productivity and profit -- creating a Good Ripple Effect that lasts.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Lisa among our entire hospital leadership team and later in the day with our local Rotary club and 75 student NHS leaders! Lisa provided us with a new, refreshing lens to look through at work and at home in good and in not-so-great situations! Lisa has an ability to connect with all ages and stages with her energetic zest for joy and life! We appreciate the tools Lisa provided us with to take on life more joyfully!”
