Hello, I'm
Lisa Townsend
The basics you should know about me are ...

I live in Cornwall, love being outdoors and make the best lemon sugar pancakes (just ask my kids) I'm part-employed and part self-employed. I prefer a direct message to a phone call.

I like to work on projects especially if they are creative, full of energy, variety and ideas. Practically that can look like project management, marketing, mentoring and training.

I like to work standing up with a banging playlist, coffee and cake are my friends.

I work brilliantly together with ā€¦

people who have lots of ideas buzzing around in their head that need organising and communicating to others in a way that makes sense. I love being able to tune into their vision, see what needs to happen and the resulting energy and drive this creates. I love helping to turn their ideas into reality and creating actionable steps to get there.

I like to work in varied teams where everyone brings a different skill, knowledge or lived experience but are on the same page when it comes to the desired outcome or change they want to make.

I work well with people who value input and challenge. I also work well with people who are building up their skills and confidence levels especially if they want guidance, help and reassurance to develop rather than micro-managment.

The sorts of outputs and outcomes I create include ā€¦

Project briefs and evaluations.
I love collaborating to create clear aims and goals that focus on some core ideas and a target audience.

Plans.
Simple targeted marketing plans that are rooted in shared values and build on the strengths of a team - float.my.boat.

Marketing content.
The kind that is rich in community, honest, clear, inclusive and featuring the voices of real humans.

Mentoring & Training
I love to create frameworks for individuals that feel good in their body and work alongside their superpowers. More impact and less effort please.

Working with me gives you;

a project that makes sense, with a clear focus that is easier to measure and evaluate resulting in a greater depth of impact.

a plan that works with a team; digging into the strengths of individual team members and also reasonating with the communities they work with, rather than a generic marketing formula.

content that weaves organisational values with the lived experiences of actual human beings in a calming and non-triggering way.

People I've worked with say that they feel motivated, excited by their work, clearer in focus (what to work on and what to leave) on track, and on purpose.

I add value to teams by ā€¦

helping teams stay on track by clarifying what we should (and shouldn't) be focusing on. I'm the team member that acts as a translator between the big picture idea and end user. I love to celebrate the little wins in life and reflect that back to my team. People come to me when they feel stuck and need advice on what to do next. I'm always here for brainstorming, to validate and challenge and if needed give frameworks for developing ideas. If I'm in a mentoring role within a team then I like to guide people to work in a way that is validating, feels good and develops trust in their instincts.

In times of stress I prefer support to look like ā€¦

I feel most under pressure when there are lots of conflicting demands for my time and attention coming all at once. When I'm feeling under pressure like this I can feel overwhelmed. The best way for me to manage this is to have some time alone to process my feelings. I find it really helpful if you offer reassurance and a time to check in on project priorities and deadlines which helps me find focus again. Coffee and cake also helps - just saying šŸ˜†.

Beyond work, Iā€™m really passionate about ...

being outside and I like to move, so when I'm not working you can find me walking my dog, a crazy cockapoo called Berty or working out with others. I'm really interested in somatics and breathwork, and how we process feelings in the body. I like performance; both watching it and doing it so I love to make music and shows and see live events with others.
