The Foundation
Rooted In The 9 Core Principles of Highly Effective Leadership.
Every coaching and mentoring engagement is grounded in the framework I developed across 40 years of leading through complexity — the same 9 principles at the heart of my Amazon bestselling book, The Only Woman in the Room. These aren't abstract ideas. They're the disciplines that hold under pressure — and the foundation of every conversation we'll have.

AUTHOR OF THE AMAZON BESTSELLER
The Only Woman in the Room
Drawing on a four-decade career spanning government, national security, healthcare, academia, and Fortune 500 boardrooms, Lisa Davis recounts what it means to lead when you are often the only woman at the table—and the unspoken rules, double standards, and quiet pressures that come with that reality. With candor, wit, and hard-won insight, Davis traces her journey from early isolation as a computer engineering student to serving as CIO in some of the most complex and high-stakes organizations in the world, all while navigating motherhood, financial instability, and personal reinvention.

The Clarity To Lead.
The Courage To Own The Room.
The author of The Only Woman in the Room now works with a select group of leaders one-on-one.
After 40 years leading in rooms that weren't built for me — from Guantánamo Bay to Fortune 500 boardrooms — I've distilled what I know into a coaching and mentoring practice built around one idea: you can lead with conviction without losing yourself. I work with a small number of leaders at a time because this work deserves real attention. If you're navigating leadership, a career transition, a board seat, or a business you're building — and you're doing it in rooms that weren't designed with you in mind — this is for you.
"Real power doesn't announce itself — it radiates. My work is helping you find yours."
Lisa Davis, Founder, Davis Core Advisory

Coaching and mentoring rates vary by tier and engagement type. Investment is discussed on our discovery call once we understand what you're working toward and what level of support will serve you best.
​
What I can tell you: I price my work to reflect its value — and I work with a small enough number of clients that every engagement receives real attention.
