Take the 3-minute Leadership Skills Audit
The best leaders don’t just manage tasks—they motivate people.
Leadership isn’t intuitive — it’s a set of skills you can learn. Leaders who practice these skills energize their teams, reduce distractions, and help people focus on what matters most.

When you lead this way, teams feel more confident, more connected and inspired to give their best.

About Me

Lisa D. Foster, Leadership Coach & Corporate Trainer

Lisa D. Foster, Ph.D., ACC Like many new managers, I had no leadership training when I first started. I was a high-school English teacher who accidentally became an entrepreneur when I set out to disrupt the plastic bag industry by launching a reusable grocery bag company in 2005.

My first year in business, I sold a quarter-million bags. In year two, 2 million. In year three, 8 million. Over the next 12 years, I became one of the nation’s top suppliers and led a team of 200+, delivering products to every corner of the U.S.

Along the way, I saw firsthand how confidence, empathy, trust, and alignment drive real performance—and how practicing them daily transforms teams. Those skills changed everything for my company, and they now form the foundation of my coaching framework.

Today, I help my clients build these skills through leadership coaching to energize their teams, reduce distractions, and keep everyone focused on what matters most.
