Bio

Over 15 years ago, working in public education, Alisha De Lorenzo was charged with helping her failing school district improve culture and performance. A challenge that would pave the way for her to guide industries, organizations and individuals to solve seemingly intractable problems through a deceptively simple approach – Positive Deviance, which stands on one belief, in every organization there are people whose outlier practices are generating remarkable outcomes despite facing the same barriers and obstacles as everyone else. With their innovative ways living outside of the conditioned, cultural norms of the community, their solutions remain hidden in plain sight.

After years of experiencing burnout and the isolation that comes from challenging conventional thinking, Alisha recalls the feelings of hope and aliveness that came from being given the agency to discover and scale the solutions that mattered most. This changed EVERYTHING about how she viewed problems, their solutions and how to engage people in a way that brings them alive.
While Alisha’s efforts went on to transform the system of education across NJ, her influence began to spread across industries. In 2019 she was invited to speak to corporate audiences to help address the toxic work cultures, escalating mental health issues, disengagement, siloed innovation, resistance to change and ineffective leadership strategies that were plaguing companies.
Leaning on more than 20 years of combined experience as a speaker, high-performance coach, educator and therapist, Alisha shares a proven framework to help leaders uncover and scale positive disruption.

Her riveting keynote speeches and workshops provide the tools and frameworks to help teams infuse aliveness back into their work, revolutionize corporate culture and amplify the solutions.

Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : Unlocking The Power of Positive Disruption: Discovering the Solutions that Drive Success

We think solutions are found on the outside when what we really need to do is discover them from within. So, here’s the question: What if the answers to the challenges you face are already alive within your organization… just waiting to be discovered?

Now more than ever, organizations face a tyranny of disengagement, siloed innovation, resistance to change and ineffective leadership strategies. With staggering statistics that 43% of employees feel invisible and over 20% of people feel miserable at work, every leader needs the tools to challenge conventional thinking and make way for new behaviors and mindsets to emerge by turning to positive disruption.

Positive disruption points to the pockets of outlier practices otherwise quelled by the conditioned, cultural norms of the business — those that, once discovered, lead to remarkable outcomes.
