The real strength that Lisa brings is starting with the foundation of who you are and what kind of leader you want to be. She helps you develop a philosophy to make you a better independent leader.
Karen
With Lisa’s help, I was able to resolve a long-simmering conflict on my team, and as a result, our project completion rate has doubled. Now everyone works together and we’re getting a lot more done.
Adam
With Lisa, our employees have developed important skills like taking responsibility, understanding group dynamics, and how to have difficult conversations. We’re a better organization for her help.
Betsy
In 4 weeks, my team has made more progress with your coaching than we did with my last coach in over 7 months. Thank you, Lisa!
Ethan
Lisa helped me realize some things about myself that were limiting how effective I was. When she shared her observations, I could see things I didn’t realize before and that was enormously helpful.
Shannon
Without regular coaching calls, I think I would have been floundering. Lisa helped me identify what I really care about, and then guided me to a professional pathway that aligns with my values.
Which Emotional Intelligence Skills Drive High Performance?
Lisa D. Foster, Leadership Coach & Corporate Trainer
I help growth-oriented leaders create high performing teams by coaching and training their managers in emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the number one predictor of high performance and accounts for up to 90% of leadership effectiveness.
I know how powerful emotional intelligence can be. I was a high school English teacher when I started my first company. Nine out of ten startups fail, but I beat the odds because I had emotional intelligence, and you can too.
In 2005, I disrupted the plastic bag industry when I started up a company to promote and sell reusable grocery bags. A lot of people told me not to do it, that Americans would never bring their own bags back to the store. But for me, it was a moral imperative. I sold a quarter-million bags my first year, 2 million my second year, and 8 million my third year in business.
For 12 years, I became a top US supplier. I managed a team of 200+, leading hundreds of one-on-ones to build a great company with high performance at all levels. Then I sold the company, published a book about my experience and gave a TEDx Talk.
Now I help other growth-oriented leaders find the same success I did by developing leadership skills and emotional intelligence skills. Nine out of ten startups fail. I beat the odds with good leadership and emotional intelligence and you can too! For me, growth-oriented leaders are the ones who are determined to beat the odds and outperform even when it seems impossible. If that’s you, let’s talk.

What I Learned About Leadership
Here’s what I learned as an entrepreneur: leaders with emotional intelligence initiate a cycle of trust, leading to high performance. Leaders without it initiate a cycle of mistrust, leading to stagnation and low morale.
