Lisa Spencer-Arnell
MBA, CMI Diploma in Coaching, Certificate in Mentoring, EI Practitioner
Hi I’m Lisa and I’m a Coach, Training Consultant, Mentor, Facilitator, a Mum to Grace & Jack, wife to Gary, a daughter & friend to many. I’ve enjoyed a great career of sales, marketing and management roles in a variety of companies, such as Courtaulds & The FT Group & in some small family companies and have travelled the world doing it.
One thing has remained consistent in my business life and that is I am passionate about making a difference, inspiring people to be at their best and enjoy fun, balance & success in their lives.Since joining the world of business owners, I've loved the variety of my work, training over 1,000 leaders in coaching skills, delivering leadership programmes in the UK, Denmark, Lithuania, the Middle East and the US. I have designed and delivered Work Life Balance solutions for many well known large organisations including Microsoft, Astrazeneca, The Fire Service, PWC, and Local Government Authorities.
When I'm not working, I love playing with my children - there's something magical about children & their energy & their amazing creative imaginations. I also enjoy dancing, walking, being out in the fresh air and watching football - my team is Nottingham Forest.
On a Sunday afternoon: I love getting out in the fresh air, walking and just being. The freedom of being outdoors is something I absolutely love and is a great escape from the busy pace of life in the 21st century.
What do we need to transform our world? Fun & lots of it, respect for ourselves AND for others.
What is the craziest thing you've ever done? Definitely doing a bungey jump in New Zealand. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and yet I was proud I'd pushed myself through my fear of doing it.
Personal Message: I believe that life is meant to be fun and easy and that we can achieve anything we put our minds to. Being real and being true to ourselves is a fundamental part of all that. So WAKE UP & live the fantastic life you deserve!

I’ve been working with leadership for more than two decades, both as an executive in international groups like Radsisson SAS, Grundfos and Simpson Strong-Tie and also as a leadership trainer. I have had the pleasure of leading quite large organisations and have always been trying to "move" myself and the people in these organisations to a new and "better place" - I am very passionate about leadership and it never ceases to amaze me how important it is to myself and the people around me.
