An accomplished executive coach, Lisa is the innovative founder and CEO of MyExcelia.com, a trailblazing company revolutionizing how coaches, consultants, and leadership experts quantify and monitor the Return on Investment (ROI) from their client engagements.

Our episode today, entitled "Show Your Value: Calculating ROI of Coaching," uncovers Lisa's wealth of experience gained from her engagements with industry leaders such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, The Gates Foundation, Pinterest, and many more. Her work primarily revolves around identifying and determining the financial impact of coaching programs on these corporations.

She recounts a transformative moment when senior executives, unable to perceive the concrete benefits, opted to slash these programs. Lisa's innovative strategy proved the undeniable ROI of a coaching initiative, effectively restoring budget allocation for the program within the organization.
