About Lisa Rossetti & Positive Lives
The North West’s Power of Stories™ Coach
Helping you and your team achieve better Teamwork, Communications and Well-Being.
“What I love about coaching is its ability to transform our level of thinking and engagement, and how we impact on others. What I love about Stories is how they transform the way we think and how we connect – with ourselves and others.
As a child growing up in colonial West Africa, I was intrigued by my encounter with different cultures, different languages and behaviours. The Art of Connection, of integrating into a new group or community, were all vital skills for me to learn from an early age.
I left behind a very young country and returned to a very traditional one. I was amazed how unquestioning people in Britain could be about the status quo and about themselves. Just as Ghana, the country I left behind, was inventing a new story of freedom and hope for themselves, so I began to search for a new story or identity for myself. That fundamental questioning and self-reflection persists to this day.
As a coach, I meet many managers and leaders who don’t feel “comfortable in their own skin”; they may feel constrained by working methods and practices that are never questioned, and may long for the opportunity to be more innovative. Or they feel at odds with the values in their working environment, and seek to become more purposeful in their Leadership. Some of my clients are in Career Transition to find work which has more meaning and purpose for them.
To address this, I have developed a powerful programme based on our most ancient communication tool, Stories, blended with current coaching techniques, for individuals and for teams.
This work has naturally grown out of over 20 years of experience in people development. With a Post Graduate Diploma in Coaching for Transformational Leadership and a Diploma in Coaching Supervision, I can adapt a wealth of models, techniques and frameworks for your coaching needs. I am also a trained story practitioner specialising in organisational storytelling for service improvement and for wellbeing.
When I am not happily coaching, writing or telling stories, I like to curl up with a novel on the sofa with a cup of Rooibosch tea and a chocolate digestive – a perfect blend of Africa and England!
If you want a taster of my work, then you can book a free 30-minute consultation with me. Or better still, if you’re in the North West, come along to The Story Cafe. Dates and details are on Facebook TheStoryCafe.

Testimonials
“I find Lisa’s manner totally supportive and rather than ‘tell me what to do’ , she puts the ball very much in my court to help me find my own answers. This way, I feel much more comfortable with my action steps. I feel confident in sharing the challenges that I am experiencing because Lisa is very insightful and often sees a way round that I do not. I am altogether very inspired and grateful for the coaching that I am getting from Lisa and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to dust down the cobwebs and see through the glass to a brighter, abundant, exciting future.”
“Positive Lives gives the type of coaching that will be of great benefit to anyone who wishes to improve their business or lifestyle.
It is a very personal service that inspires those who embrace it; Positive Lives has enabled me to really understand my business and focus on what it is I really do!
This has resulted in my business being more effective and efficient which has produced better and more positive relationships with my clients
It’s not just the way I operate my business that’s different, it’s had a positive result on my life also, less stress = happy family!”
“Lisa has great skill and teasing out stuff- strengths, weaknesses and she gently challenges you to address those and build positively on them.
My first objective was to get my promotion- which I achieved. I have also solved many management issues as a result of the coaching, improved my time management, become much more in control of my own life, worklife balance and sense of well being.
A very timely coaching session before my first team meeting with my new managers meant that I achieved much greater impact.”
“Running your own business can also mean running away with all your spare time. Lisa helped me sort out my work/life balance by listening intently to gain an understanding of me and my business needs and then guiding me into trying solutions and strategies – each week something new – small positive steps which actually work. I found Lisa to be very diplomatic, patient, honest and trustworthy at all times.”
“My confidence has been enhanced to explore secondment opportunities and continue to raise my profile and circle of influence, and I felt that the coaching sessions were excellent.”
