One-on-one coaching
Turn an apparent threat into your next opportunity.
Every disruption can look like a threat at first. In one focused session, we’ll find the one you can turn into an opportunity, built on the strengths your business already has.
With Lisa Churchill
One-on-One Resilience Coaching
Two hours to find the opportunity in the disruption and build a strategy to make the most of it.
We start from your Horizon Scan and narrow in on the disruptor that matters most to the customers you serve. You leave with a clear opportunity, a strategy, and a first move.

Recommended
The free Inside View, for a head start on your
strengths.
Come prepared to share
The mission of your business, the key customer base you serve, and what you hope to achieve from the session.
How your two hours come together
Going narrow is what keeps the strategy sharp. We focus on one disruptor and see it all the way through.
1
Set the target
You’ll share your mission, the key customer base you serve, and what you hope to achieve. That anchors everything that follows, so the strategy fits the business you want to run, on your own terms.
2
Name the threat
From your Horizon Scan, we’ll pick up to three disruptors, then narrow to the one with the biggest impact on the customers you serve.
3
Take stock of your strengths
What your business does well, and where you’re stretched. Your strengths are what you’ll build on. Your weaknesses show what to steer around.
4
Turn the threat into an opportunity
We’ll look at what this disruption is doing to your customers, then find where your strengths meet their new needs. That might be a new offering, a new customer segment, a repositioning or a partnership.
5
Build the strategy and first moves
What to do first, what comes later, and the signals to watch. You’ll leave with a first move you can start right away.
6
Wrap up
A recap of your decision, the key follow-up actions and next steps.

Lisa Churchill
Lisa turns big disruptions into smart, practical moves.
As a paleontologist studying mass extinctions, Lisa studied how complex systems respond to major upheaval: what breaks, what adapts, and what new openings appear in the aftermath. Over more than 30 years as a resilience strategist, consulting for public and private entities including the World Bank and the United Nations, she has focused on closing the gap between that big picture and the decisions people actually have to make.
Lisa's strength is translation. She takes forces that feel too large to act on and brings them down to individual scale, naming the specific risks, the real opportunities, and the practical strategies that move the needle.
For the past five years, she has applied that lens directly to small businesses and the organizations that support them. Today, one of the biggest disruptions facing small business owners is the changing nature of work itself, and the same questions apply: What’s at risk? Where’s the opening? What’s the next right move?
As a small business owner herself, Lisa knows you’re wearing all the hats, cash flow is king, and the urgent always wins. Her one on one coaching is built for that reality: clear thinking about the big shifts, and concrete actions you can take right away.
