“This is the second time I have worked with Lisa, and she delivered the WOW FACTOR both times!
Working with her is a breath of fresh air. She is prepared, professional beyond expectations, and can relate to any audience. She is always prepared and her energy is incredible. I can't wait to work with her again!”

LISA IS TRUSTED BY
Every next chapter begins with a pivot.
Sometimes we choose it.
Sometimes it chooses us.
But the hardest part is always the same, because the real challenge isn’t change.
IT’S WHO CHANGE ASKS US TO BECOME.
The Pressure to Transform Is Growing
No matter what the
next chapter asks of us…
At some point, every pivot becomes personal:
We stop asking:
“Do we even have what it takes?”
And start wondering:
“Do I?”
We can’t level up until we let go and release what’s keeping us tied to yesterday.
That's what it means to Pivot With Courage.
We must let go of the version of ourselves that made the last chapter work…
...so we can become the people our next chapter requires.
“Lisa is engaging, funny, and inspiring.
She breaks down concepts so they’re easier to understand and shows you real-life ways to achieve your goals. She was the keynote speaker at our Annual Safety Day where she engaged our audience of almost all men. She was clear, concise and made the presentation relatable.”
Vice President, Corporate Communications, Bierlein Companies
MEET
LISA TARKINGTON
Lisa doesn't believe courage is something we're born with.
She believes it's something we choose.
Throughout her life, she has repeatedly found herself standing at the edge of major transitions where the path forward wasn't clear, the outcome wasn't guaranteed, and staying where she was would have been the easier choice.
In those moments, the question she asked herself was always the same:
“Can I really do this?”
Each time, she made the same choice: to pivot anyway.
She left the corporate career she thought she'd have forever. Built a nonprofit from the ground up. Started businesses. Said yes to adventures that stretched her well beyond her comfort zone.
Along the way, she discovered something that would become the foundation of her life's work:
The greatest growth doesn't happen
after change.
It happens in the middle of it.
This is where we learn who we really are, discover what really matters, and uncover strengths we didn't even know we had.
Today, that belief shapes every keynote, every workshop, and every coaching conversation Lisa leads.
Organizations don't
Pivot With CouragE.
The Pivot with Courage Framework helps leaders close the gap between knowing change is needed and leading it in a way people can actually adopt.
Through three connected stages - Shift, Develop, and Exceed - leaders let go of what no longer serves them, build the capabilities their next level demands, and turn change into sustained excellence.

“Lisa’s preparation, energy, and attention make her an outstanding speaker.
It was clear she had taken the time to understand our audience and tailor her content to our needs. She made sure to connect with attendees before her presentation and, when it was time for her keynote, she kept everyone engaged with an informative and interactive session. Her professionalism shone through every step of the way.”
Mandi VanOoteghemVice President of Education, MPI Michigan
