After spending 12 years as an Investment Manager in the financial services industry, Lisa participated in life-defining transformational trainings at the age of 28.

During that time, graduates of WorldWorks raised over $2.4 million for charitable organizations in Southern California, with an equal amount of goods and services donated.
For the last 38 years, Lisa has coached and trained over 50,000 people throughout the world in the principles and techniques to transform their lives. By realizing that the problem is how we see the problem, her students have created wealth, healed their bodies, found true love, and experienced joy and freedom.
Lisa is also the co-founder—with business partner and BFF Lynne Sheridan—of Inspire Coaching and iNSPIRE BUSINESS SUCCESS. Together, they lead the Badass Women’s Leadership Summits, empowering women to own their voices, stand for their vision, and make the impact only they can make. They truly believe that the wisdom of the divine feminine is needed now more than ever.
Lisa is the mother of 15-year-old twin boys, loves Hawaii and working out, and makes her home in Costa Mesa, California.
