There’s no doubt in my mind that Lisa is one of a very small group of people who are able to spot a new trend before it emerges.
As a result of that she's built a successful company by inventing a business model and creating all of her processes and tools from nothing. Unlike most entrepreneurs Lisa had no competitors or other points of reference from which to “borrow” ideas – she was the first to market.
It is, therefore, particularly satisfying when a company to whom I’ve referred her gives me great feedback about her performance. And I was recently was given just that by Foresters. They have now used Challenge Factory's services with several longer tenured employees who are retiring or leaving for various other reasons.
All of the employees report that they are really enjoying and benefitting from Lisa's program. Foresters understand how well this reflects on them as an employer. Which, I imagine, is why they intend to continue using Challenge Factory.
It’s feedback like this which makes me very confident to continue giving her referrals and introducing Lisa to people and companies who trust me.

Source: LinkedIn Suzanne Cook Nov 10, 2014Dear Lisa,
It is my joy to recommend you for your wonderful work at The Challenge Factory.
Having recently been an honoured story-teller at your February event, I found you hold a tremendous safe "space" for those in career transition. It allows them to show up and feel comfortable - important because of the often-vulnerable time of life this can be.
Your brief talk really positions the context off which people can spring-board. Very informative and eye-opening! Truly, not just a night of listening to speakers drone on, but an interactive and fascinating series of rotated conversations that allow everyone in attendance to get something out of the evening.
You are gracious and elegant with guests and invitees alike. Someone who is truly living their Passion. Way to go!!
Sincerely,
Carol-Ann

She listened to my concerns and then responded with focused and goal-oriented solutions. I would highly recommend her services to professionals looking to take their career to the next level.
Source: LinkedIn Tanya Bowes, JD Nov 10, 2014Lisa is the best strategist I know. Few people possess the capability to both DEVELOP AND EXECUTE a strategy. Translating a vision takes skill, but operationalizing it by "bringing the ropes to the ground" is even more so. Lisa brings innovation, creativity and a brilliance to her work like none other. I would always want her on my team.
