What makes me qualified to help you?

My name is Lisa Tennant and I’ve been a Non-Executive Director for 8 years. I secured my first Board role at 34 and since then I’ve held a wide portfolio of Board positions across the public, private and voluntary sectors, specilaising in Digital Strategy and Transformation. I’m straightforward, knowledgeable and passionate about getting great women into life-changing Board roles.

You may be thinking some exceptional experience or qualities got me those roles but that’s not the case.. Find out more about me here

My Coaching Approach

I’m a Gestalt trained coach which means I help you to stay present with your experience and we work with what is, in the here and now. I come with a mindset of curiosity and openness and I have a non-judgemental stance plus a strong growth mindset. I have several years’ experience coaching and mentoring Executives, prospective Non-Executive Directors and serving Board Members.

Nagging feeling there’s more to life?

Don’t wait for retirement to find it!

A Non Executive Director position is the first step to leaving the 9-5 and a new portfolio career. Imagine no longer being busy, exhausted, stressed and searching for that elusive work-life balance. As a Non Executive you can take back control of your life and live your purpose.
