I’m Dr Lisa Colledge.

As I applied what I was learning in practice, the results came fast: sharper decisions, stronger engagement, improved performance, and teams that could absorb disruption without breaking.

Today, I help ambitious leaders stop firefighting, and start building future-ready, high-performing teams that:

  • Fix performance leaks instead of working harder to cover them.

  • Turn different neurostyles into rocket fuel for innovation, resilience, and impact.

  • Share responsibility instead of leaving leaders to carry the emotional load alone.

And together, we design a custom playbook that locks in lasting results.

I'm the founder of Lisa Colledge Consulting, and creator of the Neuro-Inspired Teams™ system, a proven way to turn your team’s invisible work into lasting impact.

Recently named Corporate Livewire’s Leadership Consultant of the Year 2025, and one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurs Shaping the World, I combine a scientific doctorate and Masters degree with decades of real-world leadership experience across cross-functional, multi-cultural teams.

When my son was diagnosed as autistic, I stepped up to lead a global, corporate neurodivergence network. That was the moment I realized the potential of neuro-inspired leadership: not just to support individuals, but to transform entire teams. 

"Neuro-inspired design is a shortcut to more engaged cultures, stronger performance today, and the resilience to keep winning tomorrow."

Personal insight to professional mission

In 2021, I learned that my son’s developmental challenges were caused by autism with learning difficulties. At that point, the diagnosis was a relief. It gave me a roadmap. Small, conscious changes in how we engaged with him made a huge difference, enabling him to learn to speak, make friends, and read and write.

That insight opened another door. A colleague introduced me to the Enabled employee network, championing inclusion for people with disabilities. It was the perfect platform for me to raise awareness of neurodivergent talent. I expected to help a few autistic colleagues, but I was astounded by how many people connected and how deeply they responded.

And I discovered something transformative: when you design for the neurodivergent extremes, everyone benefits.

Neurodivergent employees - far beyond just autistic colleagues - thrived. So did everyone else.

Those experiences led me to launch my business. Neuro-inclusion isn’t a nice-to-have skill. It’s a leadership capability you can build, and a shortcut to cultures where engagement grows, performance compounds, and resilience is built in.

I want to build a world where every person has a fair chance to contribute their unique value, and every leader the tools to unlock it.
