About Lisa
I am Lisa Pierson, qualified Coach and trainer, based in England and Switzerland. Moving You Forward was founded in 2005 when I started my coaching business with a passion to help people to be the best they can be, providing individual coaching to a variety of clients in many different professions and levels across the globe.
The opportunity to work closely with HR professionals, in organisations delivering coaching grew into providing training to help support teams and leaders to develop and grow.
Along the way I have added many items to my tool kit to provide a wide range of complimentary resources to my clients.
Always looking at how we can create the best learning experience and outcomes to suit the individuals aswell as the business.
Since the dreaded Covid pandemic, we have seen a massive shift in what is now needed by employers to attract, retain and develop their people together with the new attitude and expectation of employees and business owners to working life.
Moving You Forward is fully engaged in supporting individuals in their career development.

Sarah’s vast experience means that she will be carrying out a variety of activities from one day to the next! There are no typical weeks’, but here is a snapshot! …
Monday – designing, delivering and facilitating a vision, purpose and values workshop with a leadership team – supporting them in understanding and agreeing their shared purpose and direction.
Tuesday – it’s all about leadership development for new managers – delivered in her own unique, engaging style!
Middle of the week – Wednesday – you might find Sarah working with Leadership Team building a People and Culture Strategy which will drive engagement across the business.
Thursday – creating a fit for purpose performance management process which Sarah will launch across the business – giving managers the confidence to have open, honest and engaging performance conversations with their teams. Employees who understand the positive difference they are making in the business through clear objectives and purpose.
Friday already! Before a well-deserved glass of red wine and her favourite Indian takeaway, Sarah’s focus could be on creating a resource plan including internal progression to support an organisation’s growth for the future. Always focussed on the end in mind! There may also be coaching, and support needed for a manager who has a disciplinary to manage – building their skills and knowledge so that it is managed fairly and in line with statutory requirements.
Throughout the week there will be a number of coffee and catch-up opportunities with Lisa to talk through planned TalentPredix workshops and debriefs and to marvel at the impact it is having in organisations across the globe!
The weekend is for children’s activities. Sarah spends time with her family and watches her son and daughter play in their football teams – cheering them on (embarrassingly) with passion!
