Crystalize your authentic leadership impact

I’m Glad You’re Here!

As you’ll see, I love to be real and to have honest conversations.

I’m guessing you’re here because you are curious about me and Crystal Platypus, or, you are exhausted and longing to create something more “you” where you can experience greater ease and impact. 

If this is you, keep reading.

- Lisa Schuller

You’ve tried everything, but things aren’t getting better – for you or your team. Perhaps…

  • There’s been a change in leadership. You’re committed to helping them master their roles, expectations & personalities, but don’t have the skills or time to dedicate.

  • You’re burnt out by administrative responsibilities, the routine, or constant firefighting with little time or energy for the parts that light you up.

  • You need to armor up or “be” someone else to be accepted and successful. You’re exhausted, feel like an imposter, and struggle to live your natural leadership style and impact.

  • You’re caught between building engagement and holding people accountable; and don’t know how to do both successfully.

  • Your team is not gelling and may be in straight out conflict. They work at cross-purposes, are not communicating effectively, or stay in their functional silos rather than coming together to support larger initiatives.

Imagine that instead you can …

  • Be REAL: Share your enthusiasm and frustrations authentically, build genuine connections without sacrificing your authority.

  • Be CONFIDENT: Have honest, direct conversations, ask for what you want, set clear expectations and give the feedback they need to hear.

  • Be STRATEGIC: Focus on key outcomes and things that “move the needle” rather than react to distractions and the hottest fire.

  • Be COLLABORATIVE: Foster trust and partnership, create an environment where everyone feels valued and fully contributes.

  • Be VISIONARY: Guide your team towards collective success, with a focus on organizational goals rather than individual issues.

“Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself
It is precisely that simple and it is also that difficult”

Crystal Platypus’ Impact

  • "I began to notice an increased confidence in myself and my leadership skills. This increased confidence has been mirrored in the relationship I have with my employees and the relationship they have with each other. I don’t believe I would be the leader I am today without her!"

    Linda O. | Program Director

  • "We have engaged Lisa to work with several of our new leaders. Before these engagements they suffered from stress and frequently acted first and then looked at the implications. Now they cognitively reflect upon the challenges and think through strategies rather than rushing in without a plan. As a result, we are seeing better outcomes."

    Charlotte R. | Dean

  • "Without Lisa’s work on and through us, we would likely fall back into our siloed areas of comfort and work hard with good intentions, but potentially not in the same direction or with aligned priorities. We are a better functioning leadership team due to partnering with Crystal Platypus/Verdantu Coaching."
