​Description

​Research tells us that ~95% of people think they're self aware, while only 10-15% actually are. And the higher up you go in an organization’s leadership chart, the fewer touchpoints leaders have for honest, authentic feedback that can be translated into action, growth and impact. How are leaders leading in a way that melds gut instinct with data to further their mission?

​Emotional intelligence is the difference maker for successful executive leadership, and in turn, more resilient organizations, movements, and ecosystems. The EQi-2.0 is an emotional intelligence assessment that supports leaders and teams in:

• ​creating awareness around areas of strength and challenges, 

• ​developing a concrete plan for what are they’re going to do about that awareness, and

• ​balancing competencies — with the understanding that even an overused strength can undo leadership potential. 

​Join us in this 2-hour workshop that explores the value of emotional intelligence in a world where a choose-your-own-adventure swirl of dynamics is at play—political polarization, attacks on civil liberties, racial reckonings, the climate crisis, and economic inequality—all against the backdrop of urgent calls to lead differently in a world being reshaped by artificial intelligence.

​The moment is calling for more emotional intelligence. How are you answering?

​Lisa Garrett Keiser's early years as an Indigenous human rights organizer, conflict mediator, and funder seeded her curiosity about how leaderful movements build power and create change. Years later, the result of many experiments, much nurturing, and a shared commitment to supporting fierce change makers led to the launch of Leadership Reimagined in 2021. LR’s own Movement Madrina, Elsa Riós, co-founded Leadership Reimagined alongside Lisa, building on over a decade of shared work together.

​Lisa is a skilled facilitator and coach committed to social justice and movement building. Through gMoxie, she has provided capacity building, leadership development, and coaching to leaderful organizations and coalitions for over 25 years in ways that center culture, joy, love, and liberation. Her intergenerational, transformative approach supports systems change at all levels and engages multiple stakeholders to ensure that the results are sustained over time.

​Previously, Lisa served as the Program Director for Native American Funding Programs at the Seva Foundation in Berkeley, California, and as the Executive Director of the Funders Collaborative on Youth Organizing (FYCO) in New York City. Abroad, she served as an Indigenous program officer with Oxfam Australia's International Youth Parliament, bringing a gender, disability justice, and racial justice lens to the team. Lisa has also served as a trainer and delegate with the Indigenous Environmental Network and the International Indian Treaty Council, focusing on connecting local to global and building leadership in impacted communities.

​Lisa received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and is a faculty member at the Institute for Life Coach Training, having co-designed the ICF-certified course, Coaching for Social Action. Drawing from her experience as an accomplished martial artist and certified fearlessYOGA instructor, Lisa works with various practices to bring awareness to how change makers embody their commitments to change. She has offered yoga and reflective leadership practices at retreats and trained yoga teachers to mind power dynamics as a co-founder of Bending Towards Justice. Since the pandemic, she and her family split time between NYC and Castro Valley, CA, and Lisa is starting a podcast at her daughters’ enthusiastic request.
