In January, we were extremely fortunate to welcome and hear from Lisa McLeod, Author, Keynote Speaker, and HBR Contributor! Google “noble purpose,” and find multiple descriptions of Lisa’s celebrated research and reporting on how customer-centric, purpose-driven organizations create meaningful employee experiences at work and positive financial results for all. Lisa has authored (3) books, Triangle of Truth, Selling with Noble Purpose, and Leading with Noble Purpose. 

She is a sought-after speaker, corporate consultant and executive coach supporting leaders and organizations to engage their people and their customers through life-changing meaning and purpose. We were honored to discuss the true meaning of getting ready for work everyday, and that your life deserves purpose. A recording of the speaker series will be made available for clients and WIL members.
