ABOUT CORITA, LISA & FAITH

Corita Brown has two decades of experience supporting community change and movement building through her work supporting culture building, system change, organizational learning, leadership development, and team building. She is nationally recognized for her experience supporting teams, organizations, networks and community groups to navigate generational differences and racial-generational divides. 

Corita is passionate about partnering with leaders and organizations who work to build values-based, equitable, inclusive environments. To help clients improve their effectiveness and impact, she works with them to strengthen collaboration, cultivate authentic communication, navigate power dynamics, and approach conflict as a positive catalyst for learning and transformation. Her work incorporates kinesthetic awareness, creativity, and mindfulness-based approaches, in addition to action research and more established organizational theories and models. She strongly believes in supporting leaders to deepen their relational intelligence and is often engaged to support leaders with compassion and accountability along their racial justice learning journeys. 

Corita's educational background includes a Masters in Organizational Psychology and Adult Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and a PhD in Urban Studies from Temple University. She holds a certificate in nonprofit management from Duke University, and is a certified professional coach through ICF certified coaching school Leadership That Works.

Lisa Garrett Keiser’s early years as an Indigenous human rights organizer, conflict mediator, and funder seeded her curiosity about how leaderful movements build power and create change. Years later, the result of many experiments, much nurturing, and a shared commitment to supporting fierce change makers led to the launch of Leadership Reimagined in 2021. LR’s own Movement Madrina, Elsa Riós, co-founded Leadership Reimagined alongside Lisa, building on over a decade of shared work together.

Lisa is a skilled facilitator and coach committed to social justice and movement building. Through gMoxie, she has provided capacity building, leadership development, and coaching to leaderful organizations and coalitions for over 25 years in ways that center culture, joy, love, and liberation. Her intergenerational, transformative approach supports systems change at all levels and engages multiple stakeholders to ensure that the results are sustained over time.

Previously, Lisa served as the Program Director for Native American Funding Programs at the Seva Foundation in Berkeley, California, and as the Executive Director of the Funders Collaborative on Youth Organizing (FYCO) in New York City. Abroad, she served as an Indigenous program officer with Oxfam Australia's International Youth Parliament, bringing a gender, disability justice, and racial justice lens to the team. Lisa has also served as a trainer and delegate with the Indigenous Environmental Network and the International Indian Treaty Council, focusing on connecting local to global and building leadership in impacted communities.

Lisa received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and is a faculty member at the Institute for Life Coach Training, having co-designed the ICF-certified course, Coaching for Social Action. Drawing from her experience as an accomplished martial artist and certified fearlessYOGA instructor, Lisa works with various practices to bring awareness to how change makers embody their commitments to change. She has offered yoga and reflective leadership practices at retreats and trained yoga teachers to mind power dynamics as a co-founder of Bending Towards Justice. Since the pandemic, she and her family split time between NYC and Castro Valley, CA, and Lisa is starting a podcast at her daughters’ enthusiastic request.
