Lisa Markwick

Effective leadership is an imperative for a sustainable life, business and community.  I see it as a both a space and a "way of walking" together with others which makes a difference that is real.   

The key for me is asking the question "leadership for what?  What really matters?" and then having the courage to walk that walk together.
