BossCoach is for families in business together, and the people who support their success.

  • Families preparing to transition to the next generation

    BossCoach alleviates the expense and work associated with a generational change of family business ownership. Owners need to plan, successors need to be developed, and the organization needs to be prepared for significant change.

    Addressing this important work improves communication, reduces conflict, empowers new leaders and strengthens the family bond.

    Explore our approach to family business succession.

  • Trusted advisors to family businesses

    BossCoach prepares your clients so you can have a successful engagement.

    The most accomplished legal, wealth, tax and risk advisors can be ill-equipped to coach families through their relationship drama. And holding busy entrepreneurs accountable for producing needed documentation, or making key decisions, requires time that you and your clients don’t have.

    Explore our approach to mindset coaching and project management.

  • Family & non-family employees leading change

    BossCoach prepares organizations for change by helping the next generation lead value-building initiatives, while developing bench strength and a change-ready mindset within teams.

    If the owner is the company’s rainmaker, exclusively holds key customer, vendor, and trusted advisor relationships, and has not mastered the art of delegation, it is time to get moving.

    Explore our approach to building value by empowering new leaders.

  • People who are preparing to transform their lives

    BossCoach helps owners create an identity outside of work, and helps their successors get clear about whether or not they want to take over the family business.

    Owners who aren’t sure what is next linger in their businesses too long, and can suffer an identity crisis post exit. Children who are uncertain about what they want, unknowingly signal they are not ready, or lack confidence and drive.

    Explore our approach to finding clarity and becoming change-ready.

    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.

    Lisa was very helpful and knowledgeable in guiding me to understand my ELI assessment results. Gaining this insight into how I function has really affected the way I approach every day situations. I’d recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a coach to help them make more thoughtful decisions. She’s the best!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Lisa's program is fantastic! The content is engaging and important. The format (and the way that Lisa "shows up") create an open environment for discussion and reflection.
