Lisa

Director - Appointed February 12. 2007

Susan and I met Lisa when we presented at a conference on Cayce On Life After Death, at the Association For Research and Enlightenment, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 1999. Although the connection was brief, we were instantly aware our paths would cross again, in a most meaningful way.

Lisa's sparkle and zest for life had a profound effect on us. Over the years we have become dear friends — and our lives have been better for the knowing.

Lisa is the Assistant Dean for Faculty Development and Equity at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She comes to this role with 26 years of experience in career and professional development, over half of which have been at Johns Hopkins. Prior to joining the School of Medicine, Lisa was the Director of the university’s Career Management Program for Faculty and Staff, a program she developed and led for 13 years.

Lisa earned her M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota and is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University Fellows in Change Management Program. Prior to working with faculty and staff at Hopkins, Lisa directed career offices and programs for students at the University of Minnesota and the University of Maryland, College Park. She co-authored her first book, The Essentials of Career Interest Assessment, which was published by John Wiley and Sons in 2000. Lisa is also a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (MD). Her work has been recognized by the university and national groups. She was the first recipient of the Women in Leadership Award presented by the Johns Hopkins University Women’s Network in 2001. Her Career Management Program received the Maryland Career Development Association’s award for Outstanding Employer Career Development Programs in 2002. And, in 2005, Lisa received the National Career Development Association’s Outstanding Career Practitioner of the Year Award. 

Lisa also consults with organizations on establishing career and professional development programs and has particular interests in psychological assessment, adult career and professional development, mentorship, and organizational career development systems.

Lisa shares; "Susan and Milt, I love you with all my heart and can never thank you enough for all your spiritual guidance, wisdom, love, and support. How grateful I am that I have come to know you and be witness to the wonderful healing work you both do! Thank you so much for the honor of being asked to serve on your Board of Directors."
