Autorenporträt
Lisa grew up taking things apart and playing with the boys. After graduating from college, she started a bicycle shop, attended night school for an engineering degree, and took on odd jobs in residential and commercial construction. In 2006, Lisa started Your Achievement Coach, a coaching and teaching practice that focused on delivering planning skills to people wanting to reach their goals. Lisa believed that whether it was starting a business, writing a book, or building an airplane, developing the skills of disciplined goal setting could get you there. Lisa said to her clients, "Shine the light of possibility on your dream, and it will leap to action." Lisa has worked for 3 major U.S. corporations at the executive level, most notably as Chief Training Officer for Tyco Fire and Security Services in Boca Raton, Florida, in the early 2000s. She was certified as an ASQ Six Sigma Black Belt and Quality Engineer; she holds a 50-ton coast guard captain's license, a private pilot license, an FAA airframe and powerplant license (A&P), and FAA Light Sport Repair Certificate Instructor certification. She was the first woman to qualify as an AB-DAR, or Amateur-Built Designated Airworthiness Representative for the FAA. Lisa is a member and volunteer for the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association). Lisa is now a freelance columnist for Sport Aviation and KITPLANES magazines. She is also the home improvement columnist for the Clay County Progress, the local newspaper in Hayesville, North Carolina. She is a licensed general contractor and home inspector. Lisa holds degrees in engineering (A.S.), English (B.A.), business (M.B.A.), and science (Sc.D.). She is an engineer in the aerospace field and is an admitted gadget geek. Lisa's first published book is the Team Steps Guide: A Step by Step Process to Turn Problems into Solutions, (2015) available on Amazon. This book is a result of Lisa's experience working with employee teams. From quality circles to Total Quality Management to Lean Manufacturing, Lisa has researched the simplest ways to deliver results in the form of profits and innovation to companies wanting to get ahead of the competition. Lisa's second book is House Keys: The Essential Homeowner's Guide (2017). In over 400 pages of succinct how to, Lisa tells us the tips and tricks that only a home inspector would know. Lisa's next book will be a biography of Jerry Stadtmiller, a craftsman who restores antique airplanes.
