Lisa Gable          

Leadership Speaker, Former CEO of Fare, Former U.S. Ambassador & WSJ Bestselling Author of "Turnaround: How to Change Course When Things Are Going South"

Lisa Gable is recognized worldwide as a turnaround mastermind and innovative businesswoman. For more than 30 years, she has been called to turn around failing organizations, businesses, teams, non-profits, political campaigns, and government projects — and solve seemingly intractable problems.

Over time, Gable has learned the key to course-correct when things go South is applying the discipline of process engineering: carefully reevaluating everything your organization does and how it does it — with diplomacy and humanity, taking care of relationships and forging strong partnerships.

As a CEO, former U.S. Ambassador, and advisor to Fortune 500 companies, Gable has orchestrated the successful turnarounds of private and public organizations in all industries.

Speech Topics


The Art of Leadership

Lisa’s flagship speech includes personal narratives pulled from her experiences working for Presidential Administrations, as CEO, US Ambassador, and UN Delegate. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship, the power of relationships, getting to the big idea, and overcoming challenges.

Making What Matters to You Matter to Others

Sometimes success rides on making what matters to you matter to others. Lisa brings to life how influence involves building relevance, surrounding yourself with wicked smart people, and using research and data as your secret weapon to opening opportunities for revenue, visibility, and partnerships.

How to Change Course When Things are Going South

Whether you are a CEO, the head of a major division or program, the manager of a team, or the lead on a project tasked with heading its turnaround, this may be your moment to assume the mantle of leadership and be a driver of positive change. Lisa teaches us how to stop looking over our shoulders for someone else to save the day. You may just be it.

Your Mission Matters

Whether you are a Fortune 500 company, government agency, small nonprofit, or anywhere in between, your mission drives your message, your meaning, and your money. Lisa, who has served U.S. Presidents and Governors, international coalitions, Silicon Valley giants, and leading nonprofits shares insights on what we can learn from each other in the quest for relevance, innovation, and long-term success.

Unleashing Innovation

Sometimes when we are facing our greatest challenges, we discover amazing technologies or solutions, which not only guide us through the turmoil, but also become standard personal management tools. Using recent examples, Lisa brings to life how-to discover new ways of working, solving problems and engaging with others.
