Keynotes and workshops on what leaders carry, what AI accelerates, and what only a human can do.
Nearly two decades in corporate HR at Target and DaVita put Lisa on the buying side of the table, leading through reorgs, mergers, and leadership shakeups. She saw which programs held after the outside firm packed up and which ones quietly disappeared. That view shapes everything she builds now.
As CEO and founder of Element of Change, Lisa works with CHROs, CLOs, and executive teams across healthcare, retail, hospitality, and the nonprofit sector. Her firm runs on one principle: we don’t create dependency, we transfer capability. Through Leadership Reset™, Leadership Ready™, and Leadership Relay™, her teams build the skill inside the organization, verify it with the leaders’ own managers, and exit. Clients see 90% leader retention and 25% capability gain, every point of it manager-verified rather than self-reported.
On stage, Lisa takes on the question every leadership team is now sitting with: what stays yours to carry, what AI can accelerate, and what still needs a human in the room. She facilitates for executive audiences, and brings the same structure to a ballroom that she brings to a client offsite.
A high-energy, engaging keynote where Lisa shares powerful insights on how leaders can navigate disruption and drive their teams to excel during transitions. Perfect for large audiences who want inspiration and actionable takeaways.
This workshop equips leaders with a strategic blueprint to protect psychological safety during organizational upheaval. Participants will explore three key strategies: identifying safety risks, developing mitigation plans, and building a proactive safety culture. Through case studies and interactive discussions, leaders will gain actionable tools to enhance team cohesion, leadership effectiveness, and psychological well-being during transitions.
Keynotes, workshops, and executive sessions for organizations navigating leadership transitions, high-stakes change, and talent retention.
Presented by Lisa Rigoli, MBA, PCC | CEO, Element of Change
C-suite, CHROs, and senior leaders navigating mergers, restructurings, AI adoption, or any transformation that puts people and performance at risk.
Every organization going through change spends money on change management plans, communications, and leadership development. The spend goes up, and the change still fails. This session reveals the readiness gap that no one is addressing, and the four leadership moments that determine whether your best people stay and your initiative delivers its intended ROI.
Why 54-57% of change-fatigued employees intend to leave, and what the data says about preventing it
The four moments where readiness is built or broken: Discovery, Design, Implementation, and Sustainability
A live diagnostic, a 3-week sprint, and a strategic brief template they can use immediately
HR leaders, talent development teams, and executives responsible for onboarding, promoting, or developing leaders who need to perform quickly.
74% of managers say they aren’t equipped to lead through change. And every unequipped leader is training the next generation in their image. This session addresses the performance gap that occurs when leaders are placed into critical roles without the readiness infrastructure to support them, and the measurable cost when organizations get it wrong.
The real cost of leader underperformance: not just turnover, but missed milestones, team disengagement, and delayed ROI
The four moments where leader performance is accelerated or undermined: Discovery, Design, Implementation, and Sustainability
A live diagnostic, a 3-week sprint, and a strategic brief template they can use immediately
COOs, CPOs, and senior leaders managing succession, retirement waves, restructurings, or any transition where critical knowledge is at risk of walking out the door.
When a leader with 10+ years of institutional knowledge leaves, the organization doesn’t just lose a person. It loses the ability to execute. Recovery time stretches. Decisions stall. Teams lose confidence. This session reveals why most transition plans fail to capture what matters most, and the four moments that determine whether knowledge transfers or disappears.
Why one leadership departure often triggers three more, and the hidden recovery cost most organizations never calculate
The four moments where knowledge is transferred or lost: Discovery, Design, Implementation, and Sustainability
A live diagnostic, a 3-week sprint, and a strategic brief template they can use immediately
