Keynote speaker · Former COO · 20+ years in leadership
I help audiences reclaim their hours, turn fear into focus, and build businesses that scale without burning out the people who run them — practical systems from someone who has actually run the operation.
How leading companies are using AI to cut the admin that eats your team's day — trimming overhead 50–75% — and how any audience can win back at least 30% of their lost time.
Not about overcoming fear — about channeling it. How to turn the fear that stalls leaders and teams into the focus that actually drives execution.
Fortune 500-caliber planning brought to early-stage companies — the structure that lets a small business run like a big one. Now the basis of a college certification course.
Lisa Murphy is a former COO with 20+ years leading and scaling operations, and an MBA. She's carried the weight of a business from the inside — which is why her talks land as practical systems audiences can use on Monday, not motivation that fades by Friday.
She diagnoses from the operation out, never from a template, and every talk leaves the room with one clear next step.
Former COO — the systems on my slides are ones I've actually installed and lived.
Audiences leave with tools they can use immediately, not a highlight reel of quotes.
I go past the surface problem to the margin-and-structure issue underneath it.
One clear next step, no hype — the room leaves with momentum, not just notes.
