Sinopsis:

Acerca del autor: Lisa M. Bennett is a transformation specialist, an international speaker and award-winning author. She is known for turning around underperforming organizations – blending interpersonal savvy and on-the-ground visibility to ensure employee buy-in and high morale. A collaborative, yet decisive leader who builds, leads and empowers cohesive, high performing teams that rally around a common vision and repeatedly outperform expectations.

Formerly an executive with a multinational Global Fortune 500 consulting firm, she now uses her gifts to help people gain the confidence to turn their faith into action. She believes that with the correct mindset anyone can become fearless.

In fact, as the CEO of Fearless Coaching LLC she helps everyday dreamers seeking to find their path, maximize their potential. She is also a partner and executive coach with C-Crets, a career advice platform offering career coaching services, online courses, and topical content through blogs and a podcast.

In February 2022, she authored her first book, "Just Keep Living: Conversations with Granny''. A book filled with life-changing, and in her case, life-saving conversations and wisdom-filled anecdotes her grandmother shared. Bennett wrote the book as part of her therapy during her recovery from depression and a suicide attempt. The book has garnered industry endorsements from influencers like former Burberry CEO and SVP of Apple Retail, Angela Ahrendts. OWN Network actors, Timon Kyle Durrett (Queen Sugar) and William Bryant Jr (Greenleaf) have also endorsed the book and have appeared with Bennett for book signings. The book has won several awards in the Inspirational Book category and was considered for a 2023 NAACP Image Award.

In October 2022, Bennett was deemed a "Sister with Super Powers'' by Rolling Out Magazine and Chevrolet. Bennett has appeared on several celebrity podcasts including the Michael Colyar Morning Show, The AC Green Show (local Chicago Radio) and is a guest host on DopeliveinTV: LIVE (stream).

Lisa still finds time to serve her community as Chairman of the Board for the Gary Alumni Pathway to Students (G.A.P.S) and various other community service organizations. Currently, Bennett, who's parents both served in the United States Armed forces, is concerned with the alarming suicide rate of veterans (44 per day) and the increasing suicide rate (1.8 million attempts) of LGBTQ youth per year. She hopes her efforts and book will help guide people through those difficult times. She says the book illustrates how her grandmother's love, laughter and wisdom provided a blanket of protection for her.
Granny's education was forged by living through some of America's darkest periods including the Jim Crow South and Civil Rights. She experienced racism, hatred, and oppression of women firsthand. Her professional (career) life only offered her positions as a domestic. Yes, she was "The Help"! However, Granny never let any of those circumstances pierce the veil of her faith or her sense of humor. Prominent businesswoman best known for her position as CEO of Burberry and SVP at Apple.
