Welcome To Steady Creative
the he(art) of storytelling
Hi, I’m Lisa. Brand storyteller, keynote speaker, communications catalyst + screenwriter. Originally from Montana, I spent half my childhood overseas, first in Australia, then Saudi Arabia, becoming what’s known as a Third Culture Kid while awakening my passion for telling inclusive stories that create meaningful impact.
I tell stories that captivate, connect + catalyze
Early in my career, I helped Mattel launch the Barbie® Collector brand for adult doll collectors, catapulting web traffic to 1 million visits per month and $9million in annual revenue. Eventually, i broke up with corporate America and went cold turkey with Mr. Ex who worked three cubicles away, launching my own successful online brand as The Relationship Journalist™. Three bestselling breakup recovery books later, I returned to my love of brand storytelling for companies including Amazon, L’Oreal and Unilever before becoming a communications catalyst and culture amplifier for female founders and C-suite executives, including global skincare icon Kate Somerville.
In the world of entertainment, I write and consult on scripted and unscripted projects for the likes of CBS Films, Paramount Studios, Universal Pictures and Hallmark. I’ve also been featured in national and international media and on stages around the world. And like everyone else, I host a podcast. Mine’s called Welcome To Midlife: The Search For Meaning In The Middle.
“Lisa’s the total package when it comes to deeply understanding brand storytelling.”
—Jason Y, SVP of Marketing
