I work with leaders in complex, fast-moving organizations who need their teams to perform without constant pressure. When leadership skills reinforce one another — confidence, empathy, trust, alignment, and decision making — teams stay engaged, take ownership, and deliver better results with less stress.
Build the Foundational Skills
Confidence, empathy, and trust create the foundation teams need to perform.
Build the Application Skills
Alignment, decision making, and effective one-on-ones turn strategy into execution and momentum.
Get Better Results
Motivated teams take ownership, collaborate better, and deliver better results with less oversight.

This framework shows how confidence, empathy, trust, alignment, and decision making work together—so you can understand what’s actually shaping results before deciding where to focus.

Lisa starts with who you are and what kind of leader you want to be. She helps you develop a philosophy to make you a better leader.

With Lisa’s guidance, I resolved a tough team conflict. We now collaborate better—and our project completion rate has doubled!
Adam
Lisa helped our team take ownership, work better as a group, and handle tough conversations. Our whole organization is stronger because of her.
Betsy
In just 4 weeks, my team made more progress with your coaching than we did with our last coach in 7 months. Thank you, Lisa!
Ethan
Lisa helped me see personal patterns that were holding me back. I realized things I hadn’t noticed before—and it made a huge difference.

I would have been floundering without my coaching calls with Lisa. She helped me see what I care about and guided me to a career path that matches my values.
How to Calculate the ROI of Leadership Coaching (And Why It’s Higher Than You Think)
Lisa D. Foster, Leadership Coach & Corporate Trainer
I work with experienced leaders who are performing well—and who know they need new skills to reach their next inflection point.
My clients are seeking increased visibility, broader scope, or higher-stakes decisions. They understand that intelligence and hard work alone won’t get them there. They want to show up differently—especially when the stakes are high and ambiguity increases.
They want to be seen as ready for promotion. That means stronger leadership presence, clearer decision making under pressure, and the ability to lead other leaders effectively as scale expands.
For more than 8 years, I’ve coached leaders—particularly in biotech and pharma—as they step into bigger roles, manage other leaders, and navigate enterprise-level decisions.
On average, my clients move into their next role within 12 months. Many see meaningful increases in scope, influence, or compensation—not because they worked harder, but because they learned how to lead at a higher level.
From experience, I’ve observed that most leaders stall not because they lack strength — but because one skill lags behind the rest.
If you’re curious where you might be getting stuck—or what will matter most at your next level—I offer a short Leadership Skills Audit to help you see clearly where to focus next.
