Lisa woke up on her fiftieth birthday needing change. It was before she woke up, with her eyes closed, heart racing, and mind running 100 miles an hour, that she knew, “This is not sustainable.”

Her mission became to guide leaders and entrepreneurs to create a saner approach to success. She’s spent the past 30 years as a five-time entrepreneur, with a list of certifications: The ONE Thing Facilitator, Co-Active Coach, and graduate of Tara Mohr’s Playing Big Facilitators Course.

Lisa’s clients have dubbed her “the hand-holding ass-kicker,” she matches just the right amount of push with a dose of love. She brings clarity, compassionate curiosity, and a healthy dose of humor to all she does.

Thank you, Lisa, for your amazing presentation on Sustainable work-life balance! It was truly informative, inspirational, valuable, and had great takeaways that could be incorporated into one’s life immediately!

We have been receiving great reviews from attendees. Thank you again for being one of the speakers to help make our Women in Leadership conference a huge success!

I’ve had the pleasure of bringing Lisa Danforth in as a virtual speaker to Best Friends Animal Society a couple of times now. The topics she has covered for our staff have received high accolades and been helpful to employees both personally and professionally.

In today’s fast-paced world, people easily get caught up in ‘what needs to be done and how quickly’ and lose sight of ‘how we get it done’, meaning the energy, intent, and confidence in how we reach our goals. Lisa helps put perspective on what’s possible when we remove our own roadblocks, get clear about what we want and remain confident in our ability to do it, without sacrificing ourselves or others. 

Lisa is a breeze to work with. She listens actively to learn about the culture and employee needs ahead of time which makes her workshop relevant and engaging. I would highly recommend Lisa in a speaking capacity or as an individual coaching resource. She does not disappoint!
