Her first memoir, after twenty-five years learning what leadership actually asks of us.

Lisa Martin is a former executive and certified leadership coach who has spent twenty-five years helping leaders and teams get results — through one-on-one coaching, culture consulting, and leadership programs delivered inside organizations around the world.

Along the way, she wrote five books on leadership, built programs used by thousands of leaders, and became known for being effective: clients have called her a "phenomenal facilitator" and a "straight-shooting guide."

What she didn't yet see was that the skill she'd built a career on — reading people, reading rooms — started as a child, reading her mother. It let her guide leaders through their hardest conversations, and helped her avoid her own: the money she never asked for, the conversations she left unsaid. Grounded, Finally is where she went looking for why.

She writes now as a daughter.
