You are already committed to excellence ...
Yet, you want more. So what does it take for you to realize your vision?
Leaders are always on their own edge of growing….we have to be. Each new challenge and position tests our presence, our energy and our skills in communication and influence. Together we help you meet those challenges with grace, speed and fewer broken bones.
What got you here .....
may not get you there.
Marshall Goldsmith’s famous book, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, suggests that for leaders it’s the people skills that are the make-or-break factor in leadership effectiveness. While that is true for many leaders, it’s important to clarify: some leaders are top heavy in people focus and emotional intelligence, yet they underperform in high stakes conversations, time and energy management, and the effective timely completion of projects. Others swing the opposite way, heavy in driving results, direct communication and accountability – all the while leaving destruction in their wake. Ok, it may not be quite that bad, but you get it….
Since it is critical for your career and your company’s success to develop across the full range of leadership skills, we partner with you to do just that: communicate powerfully, collaborate and execute powerfully, while maintaining your personal sense of balance and fulfillment. This empowers you to build teams and companies characterized by trust, respect, and inclusiveness.
Our work together is customized – focusing on what you need most. Some examples include:
Strategic Vision and Innovation
Clarity on Your Zone of Genius and How to Use It
Enhancing Creative Leadership
Confidence, Communication and Influence
Empowering Women Leaders
Energy, Mojo, Balance

Executive Coaching With Lisa
Lisa coaches successful, motivated leaders like you to become more successful in your current role, transition into a new role, and lead successfully in quickly changing, and unexpected environments.
When our FLC clients thrive we celebrate. Some examples :
- A CFO with an exceptional financial track record needed to make space for more of his team to own their successes. We helped him see how his own success lay in the development of his team. We continued our work together and he developed such a strong leadership track record and presence that he was appointed CEO.
- A High performing Executive Director had achieved great success. However, her successes came at the expense of her personal balance and her team’s appropriate autonomy, and development, and potential. Helping her identify how and when to delegate responsibilities while maintaining her high standards, she regained her mojo and important elements of her personal life while strengthening her team.
- A CEO who, while well-loved and personable, struggled with boundaries. He saw where his tolerance of problematic performance and behavior undermined the company’s collective mission, and the organization's ability to retain top talent. In our work, he developed into a more clear, strong leader while remaining kind and connected. The result was an exceptional acceleration in business performance as the speed of execution, resolve and focus of his team stepped up.
- A COO with a large team had persistent complaints about unproductive and derailing behavior within his team. He wanted to hold his team accountable and get them to step up their professionalism. Our first initiative was for him to become accountable for what he was tolerating. Pulling that lever alone produced massive change in the organization. We did further work with the team and improved the productivity, collaboration and trust throughout the entire division. These outcomes make us at FLC smile.
- A Head of Family Office, both underutilized and underpaid, found her confidence, clarity and power to shift her role to align with her strengths and to double her salary. Her work now is fulfilling, appropriately compensated and her confidence and peace in her life is soaring.
- Having Retired early, and financially free, this global leader realized she had designed her professional life following someone else's playbook. We worked to excavate her True North, and design her next chapters and legacy for fulfillment, peace, and impact in that conscious way that delivers a truly joyful life.
Each client brings their own unique constellation of strengths, developmental opportunities, and circumstances. Our coaches, lead by Dr. Lisa Hale, meet each client with curiosity and experience. After we explore what is most important to address, we evolve the perfect custom approach that meets your needs, vision, and responsibilities. We help you look beyond what you have already achieved to realize your unique excellence and your best self.
*Most senior leaders are coached directly by Dr. Lisa Hale. However, FLC also partners with a cadre of exceptional coaches to support larger projects.

What others have said:
"I have worked with Lisa as my executive coach for many years now. As a result, I have seen promotions, a much-needed expanded role, dramatic increases in compensation, and an alignment in my work with my true passions and talents that were not possible to predict. Our work has been literally life-changing and pivotal to making my professional and personal life extraordinary. To my friends, I call her a ninja. I highly recommend you bring whatever you dream of creating to Lisa and work on it!"
"Lisa was very effective in helping me achieve my objectives. When looking for an executive coach, I wanted someone who could help me take an introspective view of myself to identify the causes of some of my insecurities, fears, and default tendencies, without having to work through a canned program that required rigid homework and completion steps. I appreciated her approach and found it insightful, straight-up, and spot-on. Thanks Lisa!"
"It has been my great pleasure to know and work with Lisa as my executive coach since early 2015. Lisa is a very strong leader and has been very effective as my coach. She has an incredible depth of knowledge of leadership theories and models and connect some and clear and concise ways that make them instantly actionable. You cannot work with Lisa and not grow both professionally and personally. I am proud to have her as my coach and friend."
"Lisa is a fantastic coach. Focused on her client, always seeking how she can help. Whether working through an issue with the client, providing insight and other perspectives to difficult challenges, or suggesting professional reading material for further leadership growth and development, she provides opportunities for you to gain perspective and growth. She's professional and cordial, but she is also willing and able to challenge you, a critical capability for a coach to bring to their client. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a professional leadership coach!"
"Lisa is professional, challenging and yet 'safe' all at the same time. Though not a medical professional herself, Lisa was easily able to understand and offer insight into navigating the tensions between clinical 'white coats' and other clinical staff as well as tensions with hospital administration. She helped us find common ground where previously we'd been sure we had conflicting agendas. She is extraordinary."
"I have worked with Dr. Hale for 3-1/2 years so far, and will continue to do so. In my journey to advance my professional career, in a way that aligned with my own talents and passions, while keeping balance and fulfillment in my personal life, she has been pivotal for me. I can credit our work with contributing to my promotions, my increased level of personal wellness, peace, and happiness, and my much stronger relationships with my children and my wife. She has helped us improve our life physically, relationally, emotionally, and financially. I highly recommend working with Lisa."
"Lisa has been my coach for many years now. She is the person I always refer as the key team member for any thoughtful leader seeking balance, direction, clarity, confidence, and peace. Because of our work, I have sharpened and empowered my own communications inside some very challenging relationships (both personal and professional) and the ripple effect is far-reaching. My wife, my children, my work colleagues are all reaping the benefits of my work with Lisa. And most significantly, I am a happier, more confident, and more pleasant person to be around. I highly recommend working with Lisa for executive coaching, team development and for Life Coaching for Leaders."
"In less than an hour of working with Lisa she had me pinned. Our follow on sessions were very productive, personally insightful, and growth-oriented. Lisa has a unique blend of heart and head that allows her to reach people on a personal level and inspire them to improve, question, and learn. Lisa has had a lasting positive impact on my career and my life by investing her time in me and guiding me to find the answers I had been seeking and helping me to become a better version of myself. To work with Lisa is truly an honor and a gift."
"I worked with Lisa during a pivotal time in my leadership. She guided me into radical ownership — of all of my talents, responsibilities, strengths, weaknesses, and mistakes, as a leader. That ownership brings incredible freedom and clarity. Lisa has a great gift for helping leaders see what’s true; about themselves and their circumstances. She helped me see things about leadership that I’d never seen before, and I continue to look back on that season with gratitude to Lisa for what I learned during the process."
