Background:
Lisa is both formally qualified and highly experienced in the many different aspects of business success and people management. Having started her career with a degree in Arts majoring in psychology, Lisa quickly joined the corporate environment. Where she applied her learned people management and assessment skills to the corporate management and sales worlds.

I strongly believe a company can only be successful via working positively with its people, both internally and externally. I offer company’s an approach to their business that is not just numbers, strategies, product lines and boxes to tick, but a tailored service that meets their core needs and helps them develop into successful businesses that are driven by passionate and successful people. Giving them the advantage of surviving over the long term. I love my work and am passionate about success.
