"I’ve worked in a large government laboratory, large computer company, small technology innovation companies, and now have been teaching at a University for over 30 years (and have maintained active consulting). Some things that I deal with everyday are: How do I keep myself from “retiring in-place? How can I mentor leaders through example? How can I support my colleagues to “next-level” achievements?

The key is Inner Fire.

Lisa has clearly articulated the process and mentality to prevent burn-out, and to maintain vitality in the workplace. Her “lessons learned” clearly shows a path to stay focused and engaged, even with what we might consider mundane and routine tasks that we all encounter in our work lives.

Geez, I’ll re-read Inner Fire to fire me up, because sometimes we all could use some re-ignition."

"Having worked in the corporate trenches with Lisa for over two years, I know her to be a true Spirit-Keeper and I couldn’t be happier that she has written this book! From both an analytical and a soulful approach, she helps us understand a workplace epidemic we all know exists, but few have been able to describe in such a meaningful but realistic way. Start reading this on your next business trip or one night after a long weekday and I bet you will feel differently about work as a result."

"Reading this book made me feel seen, empowered, and hopeful that I can take the actions necessary to be my own Spirit-Keeper! In a society where productivity is treated as the most important KPI, this book makes me wonder what incredible things we could be doing if sense of spirit was also just as valued. How much more engaged and purpose-driven would we be? Thank you for sharing the unseen but everyday stories that many of us corporate warriors experience. Most of all, reminding us we can flourish even more by embracing our humanity."

"A dream job has the potential to be your life-source, nurturing your intellectual curiosity and drive. It provides rewarding experiences that offer a sense of purpose and an escape, helping you to overcome the harsh realities and adversity found in everyday life.

I have had the good fortune to work with Lisa, a fellow traveler in the fast-paced high-tech corporate world that is rapidly evolving through the advent of generative AI. In this highly complex and dynamic landscape, Lisa’s intellect and compassionate guidance ensures that humanity remains at the core of how we advance this incredible technology.

With Inner Fire, Lisa extracts wisdom and provides highly relatable insights through observation and sharing of lived experiences from other “Spirit-Keepers”―people who nourish and protect their inner vitality and humanity by being like water, advocating for adaptability and resilience, particularly in this time of accelerated change in all aspects of life. This book offers not just insights, but transformative pathways to rekindle and nurture your spirit, so you can be the best version of you."
