Founder


Lisa is the founder of Learna — a microlearning platform helping teams build the people skills to solve real work problems — fast. Think feedback, working through change, managing others — the messy stuff no one really teaches you, but everyone’s expected to know.
With a background in media, coaching, and people and culture, Lisa has worked to help teams grow through change and lead with confidence. She's also a co-host on Mamamia's work and careers podcast, BIZ.
She brings a smart, no-BS approach to learning that’s designed for fast-moving teams who don’t have time for theory. Whether she’s speaking about leadership development, career growth, or creating a culture where learning actually sticks, Lisa delivers practical insights that help people take action — not just take notes.
Roles are changing faster than most workforce plans can keep up with. The World Economic Forum just named job design and upskilling the top priority for people leaders this year, and it's easy to see why.
As AI automates and streamlines more of the day-to-day, it's forcing a harder question:
What work is actually worth doing now, and who (or what) should be doing it?
People leaders are redesigning roles around that split, building AI literacy for the tasks AI leads, and doubling down on the human skills it can't replicate for the rest.
In this session, three Chief People Officers from fast-scaling tech companies share what this shift actually looks like inside their organisations, and how they're preparing their people for it.
