About Me

Lisa Downs has spent her career since 2003 coaching leaders and their teams to work at their best and achieve their desired results through better communication and collaboration. Leveraging assessment tools to provide you with data, Lisa can help you get a better handle on how you come across as a leader and how your work style, personality type, and approach to communication impacts colleagues, clients, and your team. If you have ever struggled with how to relate to certain people, how to effectively get your message across, or are wondering how you can be a great leader as well as an excellent entrepreneur, Lisa can help. With a background in leadership, executive, and team development with organizations such as The Boeing Company, EMC, T-Mobile USA, and in the accounting and insurance industries, Lisa specializes in working with technical professionals who are looking to continue to grow in their leadership and people skills. These skills, our Emotional Intelligence (or EQ), account for more than 90 percent of the success of executive leaders. Lisa's goal is to help anyone who is leading a business or a team hone their EQ as best they can to ultimately achieve their goals. Lisa is an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and a Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP). She holds a Master of Science in Education degree from Western Illinois University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. She currently resides in the Seattle, WA area with her husband and two cats. To elevate your communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, contact Lisa today!
