Hi, I'm Lisa Holden Rovers

Founder of Workplace Matters | Leadership & Team Coach

I believe when leaders thrive, their teams—and entire organizations—thrive too.

I’m passionate about helping leaders become the coach their team needs to create conversations that build trust, connection, and results that matter. My coaching approach is practical and proven, guiding leaders and teams to understand each other’s strengths and work styles for better collaboration—whether they’re in person or remote. Together, they build a culture that values people and drives results, empowering everyone to do their best work and succeed together.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

We understand the critical role of leadership in fostering well-being and driving performance. Each leader possesses a distinct set of strengths, hidden assumptions, and blind spots that directly influence team engagement and results.

Our coaching and training programs help leaders transition from managing teams to inspiring them through impactful conversations. We equip leaders with the mindset, skillset, and habits to maximize team effectiveness and foster individual growth.
