Hi there. I'm Lisa Marie DeSanto.

 

For years I worked in the global talent relocation industry, leading communications teams that educated companies, employees, and their families on the nuances of living and working across cultures. I also had the privilege of coaching direct reports as they developed new skills and grew into their full potential. Empowering people is still one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

 

But after years of telling stories about other people’s global experiences, I realized I wanted to have some of my own. I knew it was time to stop waiting, so I stepped outside of my comfort zone and designed a life that allowed me to live, work, and travel abroad for a while—completely broadening my global perspective.

 

That choice now allows my work to reflect three passions that constantly inspire each other: coaching individuals and groups through personal and professional challenges, consulting with organizations to craft strategic, cross-cultural communications, and sharing stories from my travels and podcast. As a writer, presenter, and nomad, I explore the geographic and inner journeys we take as human beings if we’re brave enough to step outside of our comfort zones.

​

Through all of my experiences—both personal and professional—I’ve learned that the common thread is all about connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the wider world. That’s what keeps us resilient, authentic, and open to reinvention. 

​

I’m glad you’re here, and I hope my work inspires you to connect with me. I’d love to hear from you!
