Hey, I'm Lise, Founder of ProFound Consulting.
Coaching transformed my career. If it were up to me, we'd teach it in primary school, right alongside reading and writing. I remember when my CEO noticed a shift in me after I learned coaching skills - those skills helped me lead more effectively and align teams with our vision. Now, as a Master Certified Coach, Supervisor, and President of the International Coaching Federation UK, I work in English, French, and German helping leaders grow and navigate change.
With a background in finance, strategy, and organisational transformation, I've worked across Europe and now live in Switzerland with my family. If you're leading change and need support, let's connect. You've got this!
my approach
I use OLAx, a unique method for leading change in complex systems. Grounded in the principles that change is relational, emergent, experiential and systemic, OLAx stands for Observe, Love, Act, and Iterate. It emphasises not just reaching goals but also the growth and transformation experienced along the way.
-
Observe: Understand the context, recognise patterns, and shift perspectives. This helps leaders identify root causes and effective points for change, avoiding "solutionising" poorly defined problems.
-
Love: Focus on inner work by developing empathy, embracing paradoxes, and enhancing self-awareness.
-
Act: Take informed, purposeful action. Ensure clarity on objectives, understand the emotional impact of change, and leverage relationships to expand influence.
-
Iterate: Avoid decision paralysis and enhance implementation effectiveness through continuous cycles of action and observation, which allow for feedback, learning from mistakes, and integrating multiple perspectives.
This approach provides versatile tools applicable at any level—individual, team, organisation, or society. It’s steeped in complex systems theory and works seamlessly with any change framework.
