Lisa Marshall is founder and principal of Good Work Consulting, where she helps for-purpose professionals get to the strategic part of their to-do list.
She knows how it feels to be stuck fielding an endless list of to-dos that are urgent and important, but don’t necessarily build capacity. And what it’s like to daydream about the projects that would make things better (if there were only time to get to them).
She specializes in project management, implementation support, and data visualization and reporting. The work that energizes her the most is connecting people and tools, so that (work) life becomes just a little more manageable.
She lives in Dallas, TX with her husband and two dogs, Eleanor and Franklin.
Main quote:
“If you can create an inflow of all of the tasks and all of the information that comes to you into the work management system that you're using, you will get so much more done. There will not be balls dropped. You’ll be able to do more than you thought you could, and you'll be less stressed while you're doing it.”
Additional Quotes:
“There’s dashboards that nonprofits need and they fall into three buckets: executive, analytical, and public facing.”
“For me, leaving well is about having a mindset or looking at things through the lens of what's the best that could happen? And that's for the person who's leaving. It's for the people who are staying. It's for the things that are yet to come. But what's the best that could happen?”
