Lisa Schmith

As an advisor and coach with over 30 years of state service, including executive leadership roles, I understand the unique challenges that government managers and executives face. I’ve led statewide initiatives in emergency management, enforcement, program development, and leadership growth, and have firsthand experience in navigating complex environments. After retirement, I developed and led a statewide Leadership Development & Mentoring Program, and have continued to mentor new executives and partner with leaders and managers to build strong, high-performing teams. My passion for coaching and mentoring stems from my own experience of having a coach who helped me through the most difficult period of my career. My coaching approach is supportive and rooted in practical, evidence-based strategies that empower you to grow as a leader. I am committed to being a dependable partner in your journey. Together, we’ll work through your challenges, refine your leadership skills, and create lasting success for you and your team.
