About Lisa Goeke

As an experienced Executive Coach and Human Resources Consultant, my mission is driven by the core values of spirituality, love, a deep love of learning, kindness, and social intelligence. I believe in fostering a sense of purpose, nurturing close relationships, pursuing continuous learning, cultivating kindness, and encouraging emotional intelligence within organizations. My focus is not merely to manage people but to transform the workplace into an environment of growth, productivity, and positive energy, to ensure that every team member finds meaning in their work and the company’s broader mission. My approach embraces the principles of positive psychology and trauma-informed practices. These principles guide my methods in fostering a resilient, empathetic, and supportive workplace environment where everyone feels safe, understood, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. With a decade of experience working with small to mid-sized companies, I understand the unique challenges organizations these sizes face. Often, these are around talent acquisition and retention, maintaining a vibrant company culture in the face of rapid growth or significant change, addressing the mental health and wellbeing of staff, and navigating disruptors to the way you do business such as AI, volatile economic environments, a global pandemic, and remote/hybrid work environments. My role is to guide you in navigating these challenges. I offer tailored, effective strategies that not only solve immediate issues but also build a strong HR infrastructure for the future. From executive coaching, leadership development, to creating trauma-informed HR policies and programs, my expertise lies in the sustainable transformation of workplaces into supportive environments that thrive on mutual respect, continuous learning, and shared growth.
