THE BETTER NOW SHIFT™
Capacity Building
For a Changing World

Author and facilitator Lisa Bennett helps people unlock their full capacity to grow, adapt, and drive positive outcomes in fast-changing times.

Over decades of experience in leadership positions and through hundreds of interviews with leaders, changemakers, and experts across many fields, she has explored what enables people and organizations to successfully navigate challenges and advance in their goals.

She has found that belief in one’s capacity—as individuals and teams, organizations, communities, and even families—makes the critical difference.

Times of significant change and uncertainty can shake that belief. But pivotal experiences that strengthen it can change the game—improving communication, alignment, wellbeing, and progress.

Founder of The Better Now Shift™ , Lisa helps values-driven individuals, teams, and organizations achieve these outcomes through experiences that deepen trust, clarity, connection, courage, and impact.

If you would like to learn more, please reach out. She’d love to talk about your needs and explore how she could support you.

“Powerful and persuasive.”
— SIR KEN ROBINSON, #1 TED speaker and author of The Element, on Ecoliterate
“A gifted speaker & writer.”
— ELIZABETH BIRCH, former Executive Director of the Human Rights Campaign
“A great collaborator.”
— DANIEL GOLEMAN, NYT bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence
