Register Your InterestMost leadership settings are built for the finished version: the polished answer and the confident update. We build the spaces where leaders speak openly about the unfinished version.
Two leaders facing decisions of the same weight but from different industries and backgrounds will not reach for the same instincts.
That difference is where new thinking starts.

Davos runs on scripts. Unscripted is where the conversation goes once the script runs out. By invitation only.
Not built for marketing the answers. Built for finding them.
Lisa Christen and Michelle Holmes are Executive Advisors to chief executives and executive teams. It is what brought them together over a decade ago: a shared understanding of critical leadership transitions, organizational transformation, and the moments where the answer is not yet obvious.

Radical Candor and Radical Respect
You build trust by having candid, messy conversations, not a perfectly polished monologue. Ask what others think. Say what you think. Pay attention to how your words land. Take a beat to show you care if you get an emotional response; say it again even more directly if your point didn’t register.

Human Potential & Performance Expert
Successful and happy people have three things in common: They know who they are, they know what they want from life, and they know how to make decisions that allow them to use who they are to achieve what they truly want.
That is why I help people discover who they are, so they can unlock who they have the potential to become.
