Meet the Team Whisperer

You know those moments when you felt like you explained what was in your mind COMPLETELY CLEARLY, but then your team didn’t get it or do the thing right? Or when you have to answer the same questions over and over? Or when you had an AMAZING new hire that was crushing it and then unexpectedly left the team? These are miscommunications that happen all of the time on teams, and they’re frustrating for both the business owner as well as the team members.

Enter the Team Whisperer. My passion is in being the translator between the vision in your head and how your team understands it – connecting the dots, making it clearer, and surfacing what in it for THEM so they get on board.

Working in team operations for a decade in big tech in companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, I learned the differences between what makes a team perform at their best and what makes a team fall short, even with all of the resources in the world; and I’m here to bring these secrets to you to reduce overwhelm, improve retention, and help you scale your business.

      Lia was fabulous! She spoke to our group of leaders to frame our forthcoming conversations about Navigating Risk & Reward. She was warm and friendly while her experience and knowledge about workplace realities really showed through. It was exactly what we needed, got the group thinking about — and engaged in — the topic, and ready to explore it together even more in the future. Thank you, Lia!

        Lia and I focused on strengthening my skills around people management and giving difficult feedback. Her coaching helped me delegate responsibilities better, saving me hours of time in my own work, and turn around the performance with a struggling team member into a star employee.
