The Most Important Part of Your AI Strategy Isn't the AI
Everyone wants to talk about AI.
Lisa wants to talk about what has to be true before it works.
This conversation explores why infrastructure, data quality, organizational readiness and mission alignment matter just as much as the technology itself, and why healthcare organizations need to build the foundation before chasing the next tool.
Ideal forHealthcare executives, technology leaders, boards and organizations navigating AI adoption.
AI at the Point of Care
How AI can support clinicians where care actually happens, and what it takes to move from anecdotal wins to measurable impact for patients and care teams.
Ideal forHealth system executives, clinical leaders, CMIOs/CNIOs and care teams exploring AI in clinical workflows.
Intentional AI Innovation
Why the right use case, strong governance, and a clear view of ROI matter more than chasing the latest AI tool.
Ideal forHealthcare executives, technology leaders, boards and innovation teams deciding where and how to invest in AI.
Creating a Shared Vision for Change: Leading Through Influence and Storytelling
How leaders build alignment and momentum for change through relationships and storytelling, not just authority.
Ideal forExecutive teams, leadership conferences, emerging leaders and organizations navigating transformation.
From the Bedside to the C-Suite
Lisa didn’t follow the traditional path into technology leadership.
She started in clinical care.
Her journey from the NICU and PICU into healthcare technology and ultimately executive leadership offers a different perspective on career growth, reinvention and what happens when you stop assuming your next opportunity has to look like the one before it.
Ideal forLeadership conferences, women’s leadership events, healthcare professionals, emerging leaders and technology audiences.
Vulnerability Is a Strategy, Not a Soft Skill
Executive leadership often rewards certainty.
But trust isn’t built by pretending to have every answer.
Lisa explores how vulnerability, transparency and humanity can become practical leadership tools, particularly during periods of uncertainty and organizational change.
Ideal forExecutive teams, leadership conferences and organizations navigating transformation.
The Peacock Problem
Being different in the room can feel like a disadvantage.
Until it becomes your advantage.
Lisa explores what happens when leaders stop trying to fit the expected mold and begin using the experiences, perspectives and differences that make them uniquely valuable.
Ideal forLeadership events, women in technology, emerging leaders and professional development audiences.

Strategic advisory
Sometimes you need someone who can see across the whole organization.
Technology decisions don’t happen in isolation.

It’s helping leaders understand how to navigate the ever changing complexity of the technical landscape, solve for foundational readiness required to support it, and design a change management strategy that is grounded in your culture.
