About This Episode

Lisa dives into one of her favorite topics, growth through learning. From the books that have shaped her leadership to the insights that have stretched her mindset, she shares her personal takeaways from some of today’s most powerful reads.

Lisa opens up about her own evolution from post-college burnout to becoming a lifelong learner and how reading, coaching, and continuous development have fueled both her personal and professional success. You’ll hear about the titles that shifted her thinking on time, visibility, leadership, confidence, and even faith.

Featured Books & Insights:

  • Traction by Gino Wickman — Vision is nothing without execution.
  • Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell — Redefining time freedom and delegation.
  • Be Seen by Jen Gottlieb — The courage to show up authentically.
  • The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom — Expanding the definition of true wealth.
  • The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney — Turning strategy into measurable results.
  • The Genius Zone by Gay Hendricks — Staying in your flow and creative energy.
  • Jesus, CEO by Laurie Beth Jones — Leading from presence, not hustle.
  • The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman — Confidence as a skill, not a trait.

Lisa also shares what’s next on her reading list from The Let Them Theory to The Energy Bus and challenges listeners to take one step toward growth this week: read, reflect, apply, and share what you learn.

Because as Lisa reminds us, the best leaders never stop learning and when you stop learning, you stop leading.
