Meet Lisa

LM Headshot 8.16.14
Lisa Montoya is an experienced talent management professional and executive coach who takes a people-centered, values-based approach to leadership and organizational development.  She has over 25 years of experience in training, coaching, group facilitation, process improvement, and operations management in organizations ranging from small, entrepreneurial firms to large, global corporations.

Certified and skilled in a variety of assessment tools and approaches, Lisa provides a multi-faceted, holistic approach to individual and organizational development.

In addition to working with individuals and organizations, Lisa is pursuing her own personal and spiritual development by attending One Spirit Interfaith Seminary.  As a soon-to-be ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, she is also a volunteer pastoral care visitor at the MetroWest Medical Center, Leonard Morse Hospital. In addition, she is a certified Grief Recovery Specialist, helping people work through the pain of major life losses (divorce, death, job loss, etc.)

The grief work ties directly to her work with organizations going through major change.  Lisa is especially skilled at helping managers assist their employees with the emotional aspect of change which, if not acknowledged and handled properly, can delay or derail the change efforts, regardless of how rational they may be.

When not working, Lisa enjoys yoga, walks in nature, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.
