What People Are Saying

  • MICHAEL LAROSA, CEO

    “I have been working with Lisa Bosse since 2024 when we selected her to lead us in a refresh of our Family Business Governance Policies at LaRosa's. Lisa provided us the necessary insights to revisit and create sound policies for our family and our business. She effectively held us accountable to the project timelines and earned our respect as an excellent facilitator and business mentor. We now are leveraging her "Energy Leadership" program to support personal development objectives and improved collaboration across our leadership teams.”

  • ROBBIE DANIELS, Owner

    “Working with Lisa Bosse was a game-changer for our family business. Transitioning leadership can be incredibly stressful, but Lisa’s deep understanding of family complexities made us feel heard and supported. She didn’t just give us a strategy; she gave us peace of mind. She is professional, intuitive, and genuinely cares about the long-term success of the family as much as the business itself. Highly recommend”

Now we are organized, making progress and communicating honestly about tough issues. It’s an investment that’s saving me time, money and helping me and my sons get on the same page about our futures.”

Her coaching isn't just theoretical; it’s grounded in psychological insights that yield instant results in morale and collaboration. I can’t recommend her enough for her expertise in fostering a healthy, communicative workplace.”

    “What sets Lisa apart is her ability to tailor her guidance to my specific needs. She takes the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses and aspirations, and partnered with me to design a personalized plan to help me reach my goals. Her patience, dedication and genuine desire to see me succeed are truly commendable.”

  • SABRINA DONLEY, AI Practice Leader

    “As part of the 2nd generation of my family's business, the ELI Assessment that Lisa did with me was clarifying. It put language around areas of energy that had been draining that I needed to address, and other areas that energized me. Especially in a family business, knowing yourself and your boundaries, and how to have healthy conflict that doesn't become toxic for yourself or others is so essential, and I think the ELI Assessment highlighted this for me, even when this was something I had already been actively improving on. Thanks Lisa!”
