Lisa Stephenson
Touted as ‘one of the most influential, authentic coaches in the game’, Lisa Stephenson is the Founding Director of Who Am I Projects, author of Read Me First, and one of Australia’s foremost success coaches.
As a writer, global keynote speaker, success coach and CEO, Lisa’s core purpose is to guide others in navigating and mastering their most critical project – themselves. From high-pressure boardrooms to public auditoriums, Lisa has earned a reputation for her unmatched curiosity, intuition and ever-compassionate approach.
Lisa is committed to not only inspiring, but challenging and enlightening her clients and audiences. An eclectic career has taken Lisa across the globe, with stints traversing vast industries; from telecommunications and banking to health and education.
Established by Lisa in 2008, Who Am I Projects is now one of the leading coaching consultancies in the country delivering programs across leadership, high performance and talent development. An enviable client list spans government, not-for-profit and ASX enterprises such as CommBank, Westpac, Treasury Wine Estate, Macquarie, Telstra, Hesta, Australian Unity and NAB.
Regularly appearing in the media, Lisa’s first book Read Me First attracted acclaim for its authentic, pragmatic style and widely celebrated ‘witty Stephenson candour’. Coverage to date has included spots on TODAY Extra (9), The Daily Edition (7), ABC Radio National, and print features in the Financial Review, Weekend Australian, Mamamia, Herald Sun and News.com.au.
With a love for crafting stories and a killer knack for ‘holding the room’, Lisa delivers keynotes on topics such as Emotionally Intelligent Living, Understanding Human Behaviour, Drivers of Individual Success, and Learning in an Era of Hyperconnectivity.
A self-confessed 80’s junkie with an insatiable appetite for Australian beaches, fine wine, all things Italian and quality time with her three children, Lisa is a natural leader, a generous giver of sage advice and sharer of her own (self-admittedly ‘flawed’) stories.
From professional athletes to CEOs, entrepreneurs and a diverse list of exceptional individuals in between, building trusted connections and powerful life pathways with fellow humans is one of the greatest privileges of her work.
