Lisa’s style is inquisitive and supportive. She likes to create a space for her clients to think out loud and understand what is important to them during their transition. She helps them prepare for some of the challenges they may face and how to manage their own expectations realistically so that they hit the ground running. Her strengths and expertise lie in her ability to build trust and confidence, to explore what’s beneath the surface and clarify ways for her clients to evolve. She is pragmatic, adapting her style to suit the circumstances.
