Personal information

Bio
Lisa is a certified leadership coach who is also a skilled trainer, speaker and consultant.

Lisa's first career was as a high school French teacher. This means that Lisa still has a great passion for education, and that she is afraid of nothing.

Lisa's second career, after completing her MBA, was in Organizational Development. Lisa worked on projects such as employee engagement, leadership competencies, 360 leadership assessments, leadership development, change management for different programs, and other topics that she found to be quite interesting. As a trainer, Lisa has presented to diverse corporate audiences on effective interpersonal communication, how to lead change, introduction to coaching skills, leading high performance teams and many other different leadership skills and traits.

Lisa's third career, which is a very apt confluence of all that has come before, is as the owner of LVS Consulting. Lisa specializes in creating positive organizations through her speaking, training, coaching and consulting, working with individuals, teams, managers and leaders.

Lisa now works in Organizational Development at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Lisa incorporates positive psychology into all aspects of her work. Lisa is on the founding board of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association where she serves in the role of Vice Chair. She has served as the VP (2010-2012) and the President (2012-2014, 2015-2017) of the MAPP Alumni Association.

Capstone title and abstract
Confident Parenting This isn't really an abstract, but I wrote a book proposal for a book titled "Confident Parenting" that will provide support to new and expecting parents. I am drawing a great deal on work that has built on Bandura's self-efficacy theory - did you know there is a whole bunch of research on Parental Self-Efficacy? (PSE) It has been linked to numerous positive parenting outcomes, which in turn lead to positive developmental, social and academic outcomes for infants, toddlers, school-aged children and adolescents. I'm happy to share more information with anyone who wants it and was posted to the Scholarly Commons.
