About
You wanted to lead. Nobody said it would be simple.
You worked hard to get here. You care about your team, your work, and getting it right. But leading people comes with challenges that experience, expertise, and even the best intentions don’t always prepare you for.
I’m Lisa Friscia, a former Chief People Officer, now an executive coach and strategic advisor. I’ve spent my career helping leaders navigate the complicated, sometimes messy, and deeply human side of leadership.
The Accidental People Leader brings together practical tools, research, real-world experiences, and the occasional unexpected connection to help us think more deeply about what it means to lead well.
