Client testimonials
“Lisa has worked to enhance the capacity of me and my team through her individual interactions and workshops, but also in the way that she has conducted herself with humility, grace, and optimism. I truly appreciate that Lisa has acted as a positive force for reflection, as she looks to form connections and advance our individual and collective missions. Challenge Factory has led the members of my team in insightful discussions about our communication styles, driving forces, empathy quotients as well as practical considerations of engaging in difficult conversations and resolving conflict.”
“Lisa is the best strategist I know. Few people possess the capability to both develop and execute a strategy. Translating a vision takes skill but operationalizing it by bringing the ropes to the ground is even more rare. Lisa brings innovation, creativity, and a brilliance to her work like none other.”
“The issues related to the Future of Work are both wide-ranging and complex. All Canadians – employers and employees – will benefit from the important work underway to envision a better, more productive workplace. Established consultancies have a role to play in all of this, but independent thinkers like Lisa are making important, outsized contributions.”
“Challenge Factory has the distinct ability to create the kind of traction we need to get to the next watershed, one that will change how we think about the world of work and how we think about what it means to be human.”
