Leadership Through Internal Authority in Unpredictable Times

An integrated coaching and creative practice supporting leaders and creatives in aligning inner clarity with outer impact.

It’s time to evolve.

Erasure and exclusion operate like a leak from the apartment above—you can’t fix it from below, and those unaffected have little urgency to act. I experienced this throughout my career. Evolution is not about fixing ourselves—it’s about navigating, resisting, and reshaping systems that have never been neutral. This reality can be disorienting.

Lisa Cambridge-Mitchell

Since 2016, Lisa has partnered with leaders and creatives at moments of transition—when their work, leadership, or sense of purpose is ready to evolve. Her approach centers on expanding perspective, strengthening coherence, and supporting decisions that align with both personal values and larger systems.

Clients often come from media, tech, and music—high-performing, visionary individuals who are no longer interested in incremental change. They are seeking integration: between wellbeing and ambition, creativity and leadership, contribution and sustainability.

Persist in Joy exists to support this next chapter. Through coaching and creative practice, we help individuals and organizations cultivate expanded vision, lead from wholeness, and engage their work with greater clarity, connection, and impact.

  2. Values — clarifying priorities and aligning visible and hidden values with decision-making.

  3. Vision — defining a grounded, forward-looking vision that guides action.

  4. The Blueprint — translating vision into a focused framework for change.

  5. Action — implementing disciplined, measurable steps that build momentum.

  6. Accountability — strengthening follow-through, self-regulation, and adaptive leadership.
