    • Mar 2007 - Present

    ♦ UNDERCOVER ANGEL: FROM BEAUTY QUEEN TO SWAT TEAM…A TRUE STORYOriginal Publication Date: March 29, 2007 by AuthorHouse. 260 pages.Lisa has taken the life lessons that she has learned and has woven them into a very important and fascinating message of perseverance, reinvention and personal triumph that compels and inspires. Growing up a child of welfare, Lisa’s natural gifts were an early ticket. She was as a contestant in the Miss Illinois Pageant (entered unbeknownst to her at the time). Lisa later became a victim of domestic abuse, which set her on the path toward her own reinvention. Sallying forth with her trademark optimism, Lisa developed a powerful leadership mindset from 90 days of service for the United States Air Force in Operation Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia in 1992. After leaving the military, she came back to Chicago to study for her Associate’s Degree and worked in private security and as a dispatcher for 911. Her interest in law enforcement led her to become the first woman on her SWAT team, a five-year assignment which she followed up with work as an undercover narcotics detective. ♦ REINVENTING YOU: The 10 Best Ways to Launch Your Dream CareerReleased January 2014What makes you happy? How do you find your passion in business and in life? What is preventing you from achieving what you truly want? In her second book, Lisa provides the principles needed for reinventing oneself and the strategies that underscore the need for people to step up and take back their joy. Lisa asserts that we change either through calculated choice (this is what I want for my life) or out of necessity (this is what happened because of a traumatic event)The book is now available for pre-order.

    ♦ COACHING STYLEMerging her education in psychology with learning from the Tony Robbins Leadership Academy, Lisa considers herself part consultant, part psychiatrist, part hand-holder and part ass-kicker. She is instrumental in helping others regain control, steering them in the direction that they want to go and reconnecting them to their passion. Her proprietary coaching process encompasses interviews, questionnaires, brainstorming and support sessions that are tailored to help each client embrace their uniqueness, identify their goals and achieve extraordinary outcomes. ♦ MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORTAcknowledging that reinvention is hard work and people undertake their personal challenges at their own rate, Lisa begins each engagement with rapport building and finding common ground. She appreciates the role that mentoring has played in her life and how it sparked her own reinvention. Lisa is sensitive to the power of words and their impact on the human psyche and uses transformational language in encouraging others to have better self-talk. When they are ready to commit, she will hold them accountable.
