( Lisa brings to her clients the tools, mind-shifts, and practices she’s found – and created – that have helped her heal and thrive, as well as the hope and forgiveness she’s been blessed to let into her life. Today she is a leadership consultant and executive coach and a keynote speaker who works with C-suite leaders in Fortune 50 organizations and not-for-profits, helping them become more thoughtful – more present, intentional, and authentic – in their leadership and their lives.
Lisa Kohn is the award-winning author of to the moon and back: a childhood under the influence, as well as The Power of Thoughtful Leadership. Told in spirited candor, to the moon and back reveals how one can leave behind absurdity and horror and create a life of intention and joy. As an adult, Lisa struggled to break free from the hold of abuse and the scars in her heart, mind, and psyche-battling her own addictions and inner demons and searching her soul for a sense of self-worth. By the time Lisa was ten, Lisa’s mother had them pledging their lives to the Unification Church (the “Moonies”).Īs a child Lisa knew the ecstatic comfort of inclusion in a cult and as a teenager the torment of rebelling against it. By the time her older brother was ten, Lisa’s father had him smoking pot. Lisa’s early years in 1970s New York City were a mixture of encounter groups, macrobiotic diets, communes, Indian ashrams, and watching naked actors on off-Broadway stages during the musical HAIR. The best seats Lisa Kohn ever had at Madison Square Garden were at her mother’s mass wedding, and the best cocaine she ever had was from her father’s friend, the judge.
