Founder & CEO
Lisa L. Kincaid
For more than four decades, Lisa has operated at the highest levels of corporate leadership — building cultures, transforming teams, and proving that empathy isn't a soft skill. It's the most powerful business strategy in any room.
Lisa's career spans two distinct chapters of excellence. She spent the first 20 years as an Advertising executive — developing the communication instincts, audience awareness, and storytelling ability that make her one of the most compelling voices on any stage. The next two decades she spent in executive leadership, building product and transforming cultures from the inside at the highest levels of corporate America.
Throughout her career, Lisa has been a sought-after guest and keynote speaker at conferences and events — bringing the rare combination of a communicator's craft and a C-suite executive's credibility. Her approach is practical, research-backed, and built on real experience — not theory.
Today, The Empathy Effect Inc represents Lisa's most personal work: channeling 40+ years of hard-won wisdom into a framework, a set of programs, and a speaking platform that gives leaders the tools to build something better.
