Lisa Chin

SENIOR ASSOCIATE

With over 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience, Lisa has been privileged to work in the youth development, P-26 education, and social service practice areas. She’s been drawn to areas of concern for low income, BIPOC, and other underserved communities. Through the lens of collective impact, each of Lisa’s roles as an ED and CEO have focused on bringing many communities together with needed resources. She strongly believes that people are uplifted, and communities thrive when our services center the needs of those who are most in need. Lisa actively engages in volunteering through board service and has served with gratitude and humility on the boards of Bellevue College, United Way of King County, Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Social Venture Partners Seattle.
 
As a senior executive coach and strategic advisor, Lisa’s key areas of focus include executive leadership development, change management, organizational transformation, social impact, and corporate governance—with an emphasis on applying strengths-based models to help senior leaders (particularly women leaders and BIPOC executives) grow, develop, and excel in their roles. She is able to provide critical insights into leadership gaps and blind spots, as well as guide leaders in enhancing their executive presence, decision-making, emotional intelligence, and multi-cultural team leadership capabilities.
 
Lisa sees each day as an opportunity to bring joy and invest in our local communities. Lisa hopes that her work in the nonprofit sector sends positive ripples into the world. When not serving her local communities, Lisa loves to scratch cook and bake, as well as read with three different book clubs.
