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”

PETE DELOIS, Owner
“Transitioning our family business has been a challenge. Lisa took on the legwork I just didn’t have time to do. 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.”

BRIAN DANIELS, Owner
“Working with Lisa has been transformative for our team’s culture. She has a remarkable ability to diagnose communication gaps and provide actionable strategies to bridge them. 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.”

SEAN KLING, Marketing Manager
“My family has been working with Lisa on transition planning for our family business. She provides a space for us to think through the complicated process of company founders approaching retirement. I’m always particularly impressed by her ability to make each us feel like our opinions are equally valued in the conversation. She is a very intelligent woman and a delight to work with.”

RUDY DELOIS, General Manager
“What sets Lisa apart is her ability to tailor her guidance to my specific needs.

TINA KAELIN, Director of Human Resources
“Since 2024, Lisa has led our executive team through redefining our core values, clarifying our mission, completing a thorough SWOT analysis, and establishing both three-year and ten-year targets. She has helped us move from discussion to alignment—and from alignment to actionable strategy.
Our group of twelve leaders doesn’t always begin meetings excited about a long strategic session. But Lisa has a unique ability to quickly turn initial groans into full engagement. Before long, everyone is contributing, collaborating, and actively building plans that feel both ambitious and achievable.
Most importantly, Lisa keeps us focused. In a room full of strong personalities and diverse opinions, she ensures productive dialogue while keeping us on task and moving forward. The structure she brings has elevated the effectiveness of our leadership team, and I can clearly see the difference in how we operate and execute today.
I highly recommend Lisa and BossCoach to any organization seeking clarity, accountability, and measurable progress in leadership development and long-term strategy.”Furniture Fair, Fairfield, Ohio

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!”

LOUIS VILARDO, Owner
“When I first heard about ELI I was skeptical, thought it was touchy/feely BS but the reality is completely the opposite. There is substance based on science and the real world!”

PEGGY GRUENKE, Founder and Co-Owner
“Our team has grown to 31 employees and we wanted to do something to make sure we were maintaining the culture, communication, and values that I built the company on when we had 2 employees.

KAREN HENRIQUES, Sr. Manager
“Lisa has successfully transformed the lessons that she learned during her transition to the empty nest phase of her own life into a healing-infused pathway for the rest of us as we prepare ourselves to walk over the hot coals ahead that can either hinder or heal. With Lisa’s help, we are developing warrier-level readiness that will maximize the rewards for us as well as for our families. Who could ask for more? Lisa is an expert in running groups that lead to streamlined and meaningful interactions for each participant. We are so fortunate she has targeted her talents on this under-supported, under-discussed, under-explored topic.”

ANDY MAURO, CEO and Co-Founder
“I have worked with many startup coaches, and I keep coming back to Lisa. I'm a second time venture backed startup founder with an exit under my belt, and Lisa has done more to help my happiness, performance, and achievement than any coach I've worked with (and startups aren't even her main area of expertise)! She is wildly intuitive, and unlike a lot of coaches not afraid to challenge you (when you need it). Her approach has led to a really high degree of self awareness that has enabled permanent improvement across a number of old habits I have been trying to change for years. I'm super grateful I met Lisa and recommend her to any business person, founder, or leader who is seeking a coach!”
