Meet Lisa Weinberger, PhD, PCC

I've spent my career helping senior leaders connect the dots between strategy, culture, and people. Whether it's navigating complexity, aligning a team, or stepping into a bigger role, I bring perspective, directness, and a deep belief in what's possible, for you and your organization.

Before founding Peak Learning Group, I led enterprise talent development in large organizations, working across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology. I've designed strategy offsites, built high-potential programs, and coached senior leaders through major transformation. I bring a systems lens and a grounded, actionable style to every engagement.

I believe coaching is both an art and a discipline. My approach blends evidence-based tools, sharp insight, and practical empathy. I don't sugarcoat, but I do create space to reflect, reset, and take action. I'll challenge your thinking, expand your awareness, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

When I'm not coaching executives, I'm often coaching a high school alpine ski team. I start most mornings with a 90-minute workout, it's my way of resetting, strengthening, and staying present for the demands of leadership and life.

I ski mostly in Minnesota, hike our beautiful state parks, and bike as often as I can. I've traded coffee for chai, but the ritual is the same: a quite pause to reflect and refocus. These moments remind me that leadership is always in motion, whether on a trail, a mountain or in the boardroom. The slopes and the summit have taught me as much about performance, pressure, and presence as any executive suite.

Clients say I bring clarity, grounded in insight, and a sense of possibility. I'll challenge you to lead more authentically, communicate with more precision, and make the impact you're truly capable of. Whether you're building a legacy, shifting your leadership identity, or navigating uncharted terrain, I help you find your footing and move forward with purpose.
