Today we’d like to introduce you to Lisa McClanahan.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve been in the business of partnering with people to empower them to live abundantly by embracing their true selves and purpose for over 35 years. I began my journey of coaching people by being a swimming coach while I was still in college at the University of Texas. Upon graduating, I began working in corporate America in Human Resources. I held a wide variety of positions and worked my way up the corporate ladder from training and development specialist to Director of Human Resources in a variety of sectors, including government contracting, manufacturing, technology, and retail.
In 2011, after walking through a divorce and discovering that I had not been living my truest or best self, I became committed to living life more authentically and vulnerably while walking through change and upheavel. It’s often our darkest moments that lead to our greatest transformations. In 2012, I launched Greater Grounds, where we’re committed to you, your vision, and helping you live it out in your family, community, and team or organization.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Hell no, it has not been a smooth road! Most of our struggles really came in the beginning from not having a clear vision and mission. We just knew we wanted to help people navigate change in a way that was transformational and generative. So we learned the hard way that we had to get clear on our answers to the following questions:
Who are we?
What do we do?
Why are we doing it?
How will we do it?
Where will we do it?
As you know, we’re big fans of Greater Grounds. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Greater Grounds, we’re committed to you, your vision, and helping you live it out in your family, community, and organization. We believe you are made for greater things! We help you get there.
We partner with people to awaken and empower them to live abundantly by walking in their true identity and purpose within their families, communities, and organizations. We do this through coaching and workshops by creating relational, interactive, and conversational spaces where people can bring all of themselves and dive into authenticity and vulnerability as they explore their true identity and purpose and how to live it out in their community.
Through the use of our E4 transformation model, we are able to awaken and empower people to navigate change by encountering situations with no pretense or judgment. This allows people to explore beliefs that may be hindering them while opening their eyes to new possibilities. This opens the door for innovative and creative ways to engage and express themselves with greater love, hope, and faith.
