Or maybe you yearn for stronger, more authentic connection but are left wondering how to really make this happen.
Let me know if this sounds familiar...
- “So, what do you do for work?”
- “How are the kids doing?”
- “Oh, how fun, I’ve always wanted to go to [insert country you don’t really want to visit].”

The Connection Hour™ Virtual Experience
A 5-week gathering where you learn how to become a master conversationalist to feel more excitement and curiosity in everyday conversations.
The experience gives you the tools to have more inspiring and meaningful conversations, which will help accelerate your connection with those you meet, work with, care about, and love.
The results speak for themselves...
“I wanted to work on building my “network”, particularly in those “rings” outside of current close friends. The tools I learned for deepening connections, especially being a better listener, have been invaluable and I immediately saw a difference in how it has created stronger relationships in my business and family life.”
ETHAN
"My primary reason for wanting to do this program was to help reduce my social anxiety. As each week progressed, my mind opened up more and more. I started to see how there were concrete ways to learn how to connect with people. In a very short time, I saw significant changes in how I opened up to people, but more importantly for my anxiety, I learned how other people opened up to me and how I could slow down and listen. My conversations and confidence quickly improved.”

Hey there, I'm Lisa.
I’m a Conversation Coach, passionate about helping people learn to connect more meaningfully. I believe that connection is what matters most. When we feel deeply connected in all of our relationships, it creates exponential joy. I found in my own life that when I shifted from surface-level relationships to ones of real depth and understanding, I felt so much more alignment, less stress, and more fulfillment. And it all happened by shifting how I engaged with others. I stopped asking “what do you do?” and “where are you from?” and started new conversations with deeper questions that really helped me understand who someone was, and what they cared about. The quality of every conversation shifted and people became really drawn to my presence and energy. Suddenly I had a lot more INTERESTING conversations!!
I’ve completed multiple coaching and facilitation courses, including HeartRise, and I’m currently in the process of completing my Facilitator Certification through the Xchange, a world-renowned leader in facilitation whose model enables exponential outcomes by choreographing conversations that unlock collective wisdom.
Prior to becoming a professional human connection facilitator and coach, I enjoyed an extensive marketing career for 20+ years leading and connecting teams for respected companies such as Wente Family Estates and Peet’s Coffee. I was instrumental in helping brands tell their stories and training internal partners on how to communicate effectively. I’m known for my work at Wente where I sparked Make Time®, a movement to inspire people to make time for what matters - to connect. I was influential in leading Wente through change to lead with purpose and Make Time® became the company’s vision and permeated their culture through various programs, activities and leadership practices.
In my personal life, I am known by my friends for being a “connector” and as someone who loves supporting others in their learning journeys with personal growth resources, hosting intentional gatherings, traveling across the country and globe to connect and meet new people, and connecting through dance.
Good, because there's something I need to tell you.
If there is anything 2020 taught us, it’s that we don’t have the time to waste on boring conversations, surface-level friendships, or the dreaded cloud of anxiety when entering a room. Life is too short for boring chit-chat and really good conversations are the gateway to meaningful connections.
We believe that every conversation is an opportunity to learn from and conversation skills should be improved upon throughout our lives. We ALL have the ability to elevate our skills to guide and control conversation!
