From Ecopreneur to an Executive Coach: A Journey of Sustainability and Emotional Intelligence with Lisa D. Foster

Welcome back to the Moda Metiers Visionaries podcast, season 2! This season, we're taking things up a notch, diving into the world of sustainable and impactful fashion. And, who better to kick off this exciting new chapter than our guest this month, Lisa D. Foster.

Lisa is a true trailblazer, starting her journey as a high school English teacher and transitioning to an eco-preneur with her first-to-market reusable grocery bag company, 1 Bag at a Time. As a pioneer in the fight against single-use plastic, Lisa quickly became a top supplier of reusable bags in the US. Today, Lisa shares her expertise in leadership and emotional intelligence as a business coach and author.

In this episode, Lisa takes us on a journey through her life as an ecopreneur, from the founding and growth of 1 Bag at a Time to her transition to coaching. She shares the motivation behind her memoir "Bag Lady" and the challenges she faced along the way.

Lisa also delves into the role of emotional intelligence and the Tipping Point formula in her success, as well as offering advice for those who may not have access to well-known networks. She explains how she incorporates sustainability into her coaching work and shares an example of a time when she helped a client improve their leadership and sustainability practices.

We also dive into the topic of effective communication of sustainability efforts, and Lisa provides invaluable advice for business leaders just starting to incorporate sustainability practices into their operations. And, she gives us a sneak peek into some of her upcoming projects related to emotional intelligence, leadership, and sustainability.

So, sit back, relax, and get ready to learn from one of the leading voices in the sustainable fashion space!
