Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Lisa.

I’m a speaker, a coach and an executive director at Proverbs 31 Ministries. I’m also a wife and mom to two adult kids who are my very favorite people to do life with. Most importantly, I love the Lord with all my heart.

My passion is this: to help others better understand their wiring and ultimately gain confidence and clarity on who they are in Christ.

Sometimes this looks like speaking at conferences and events. Other times, it means I spend a few days with a small group at their team offsite, helping them build trust and learn to work together better. On the weekdays, it means I’m leading various ministry teams and developing our managers, directors and staff s at Proverbs 31 Ministries.

Below you’ll find my personality profiles (hey, I have to add this, right?), my certifications and experience, and my professional bio.

I’m so glad you’re here!

Professional Bio

For those of you who need it, you can find my fancy write-up here!

Lisa Allen has a passion for and connection to women. She uses this passion as the Executive Director of Ministry & Staff Development at Proverbs 31 Ministries where her leadership portfolio includes oversight of ministries like the First 5 Mobile App, Online Bible Studies, She Speaks, and Donor Development. Basically, it’s a really fancy way to say that Lisa leads gifted leaders.

Lisa has been featured as a keynote speaker at Proverbs 31 Ministries’ annual She Speaks Conference, the She Laughs Conferences, and various Women’s Ministry keynotes and conferences. She has offered her insights for Charlotte Today Show as a contributor. She has also been a contributing writer for the She Laughs Newsletter, WomensMinistry.net, Proverbs 31 Ministries’ COMPEL Writers Training, and more.

Her experience as a Board-Certified Life Coach has uniquely influenced her style. She is as comfortable delivering passionate keynotes that leave her audience with a sense of calling and confidence as she is to facilitating training workshops for ministry and staff leadership teams.

Lisa is obsessed with personality assessments and enjoys the certifications she’s received for Team Coaching, DISC Personality Profile, Enneagram Coach and Gallup StrengthsFinders.

Lisa loves fashion and Pilates (though confesses her favorite part of any workout is the end). She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, has two grown children and a darling Yorkie named PJ.

Let’s be friends on social media!

Disclaimer: While my professional life may look polished, if you look me up on social I can all but guarantee you’ll find a good balance of some professional advice but mostly encouragement from Scripture, pictures of my “peeps” and my adorable dog, PJ.
