About LisaMostly Consulting

I founded LisaMostly Consulting in 2021. With over 25 years of experience in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors I have a well-rounded perspective and a passion for problem solving and planning.

Clients often say, “You always know the right questions to ask.” That’s because I am truly interested in my clients and my focus is on building authentic relationships based on trust. Asking good questions (the right questions) promotes creative/strategic thinking that helps clients get to the solutions that make the most sense for them. I’m not about telling people what to do, I am most excited about guiding clients to their solutions so they have ownership in the work we do together. 

I have a natural tendency toward creative thinking and problem solving, and I use systematic methods to guide clients through the process of developing practical solutions for their particular situations. 
I enjoy being part of organizational transformations. 
As needed, I partner with subject matter experts whose complimentary skills and knowledge benefit services for clients. 
On a personal note ~  
I am an extroverted introvert, a people person who needs intentional quiet time. 
Time spent with family and friends is my favorite time. 
I love hiking and kayaking. My favorite hikes are along rivers/streams, especially those that lead to waterfalls. 
Road trips are the best!

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Lisa brings a breadth of experience to any organization. I have worked with her on several non-profit projects and whether she is supporting or leading the effort, she is always ahead of the rest in her preparation and knowledge. Lisa’s writing skills are excellent, and she can take vast amounts of information and present it in a way that is understandable for all. Her talent for asking the right questions helps groups focus on what’s important and get the work done."

    Sue W.

    Sustainable Living Center at Pringle Creek Community

  • "Lisa was brought in to assist during a sudden and unexpected departure of executive leadership, and to her credit, the organization not only survived, but thrived during this period. Her communication skills are second to none, and with her depth of knowledge and experience, she was able to gain the trust and support of the entire staff. She served as the liaison to the Board, and her collaborative style in crafting needed policies and procedures resulted in “buy in” from all parties. No challenge is too great, and I would highly recommend Lisa for any of our business needs."

    Doug Ebanks

    Director, Marion County Housing Authority Finance

  • "I want to say what an AMAZING job you did coordinating the recent housing conference. The conference was more than I ever expected. The professionalism, the flow of the event, the quality of speakers - phenomenal. I really feel as though this conference added even more credibility to the MWVHA. You should be proud of your work!"

    Rhonda Wolf

    CEO, United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley

  • "Lisa is uniquely qualified to assist both profit and non-profit organizations with a full bank of talents. Her ability to listen, organize, follow up and genuinely care for us has been a highlight. Lisa has far more “knowledge horsepower” under her hood than our organization utilizes, but she has NEVER shied away from taking on a task, following through and doing such with a smile and “that’s what I’m here for.” I don’t think it can be said enough. When you work with someone who ALWAYS makes you feel as you are their only client… that’s a gift. Lisa HAS that gift and continues to remain a strong team member of our Board and Committees."
