Clarity for Leaders Navigating Noise

The Friday Reporter Podcast

I launched the Friday Reporter podcast to provide a unique platform for engaging conversations with journalists, communications experts, lobbyists and content creators.

I offer listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the news-making process, the people shaping public discourse and a greater understanding of the relationships between reporters, influencers and target audiences. Through my own experience, I bridge the gap between media, public affairs and lobbying in an insightful and entertaining way.

“Authentically Speaking” Column

My Substack is not about news or hot takes, it’s about orientation. I write for leaders navigating media, politics and reputation in an increasingly crowded and reactive environment. The focus is on what matters, and what does not and how judgment and restraint shape long-term influence.

The public essays reflect how I see the system. Paid subscribers receive deeper synthesis and access designed to reduce cognitive load and sharpen decision-making over time.

If you’re looking for volume, this may not be the place. If you’re looking for clarity, join me in this important conversation.

  • "I've worked closely with Lisa for over ten years. There is no one I trust more to counsel me through crises, high-profile communications situations and even daily operations. Her background working in fast-paced and high-stress environments has given her a calm approach that few could match.
