About Lisa Guy

​

By my reckons, I'm eternally grateful I was born in Aotearoa, Tangata Tiriti.

I'm 5th generation and my Tamariki are 6th generation born in New Zealand.

My vision is doing whatever it takes to Nourish Talent.

Start here and now,  Go on I D.A.R.E you. 

Tangata tiriti, I aim to be an effective partner, in business, in my community and with the people I encounter 

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata, It is the people, the people, the people

He iwi kotahi tatou, we are one. Here and now, at this time, in this place

​

I have a few bad colonial ancestors to make amends for, after landing on clipper Clara nearly two years after sailing from Nova Scotia in 1865, they milled a f*k-load of kauri around Huia,  fought over land they didn't own in the Waikato and felt powerful, literally putting electrical transmission lines all over the country. I honour and cherish tipuna, for my his-story, seeding my learning, my passion for  Aotearoa, Te Ao Mārama, a world of understanding.

How did I get here? I have some uneven ground to cover. D.A.R.E. Decide, Act, Review Enjoy. Rites of passage from gurus, misfits and fringe dwellers, may change your life. A book a workshop, a toolkit to Nourish Talent from forks in the road. BFO's Blinding Flashes of the Obvious, I strive to create well places, yet I embrace a few fails and far flung adventures enroute. A youthful marriage lasted 31 days, I've been through life altering grief, found true love and glory, I'm in a pioneering League of Adventurists, winning tuk-tuk journeys over insane distances in impossible time frames, my darlings and I get excited using inappropriate vehicles to explore wicked places, like in Indo-Tibet 5300m up the Himalaya, I'm a credible survivor of high altitudes on a lawn mower. Or circumnavigating India by 7 horse-power 3-wheeled Rickshaw, there's that one time, we even tuk-our-kids more than 3000km in 14 days from Shillong in the North East of India to Kerala, South West at a top speed of 50 km/hr. You might say I'm experienced with scary things, good at being lost and experienced at surviving loss. I consider myself a passionate purposeful finder and minder, explorer of creative discipline and free will.

Nourish Talent, is your journey, perhaps unrouted, maybe unsupported. Discover a love of life-learning for all. 

HOW ARE YOU WITH CRITICISM, OR WHEN THINGS GO WRONG , HOW DO YOU LEARN?

*Trigger warnings, upbeat, positive, mental health, depression, anxiety, talk of suicide 

I'm Terrible Muriel, I love life like daffodils love a spring day, yet take every piece of criticism to heart, while claiming I'm FINE ( frustrated, insecure, neurotic and emotional ) I'm always trying to flip off negativity and pain.

I'm human just like you. Low times and bad days, we all have them.

Nourish Talent supports and encourages the development of ideas, feelings and abilities to take back control of things you may bee being called to level up? 

Health, Wealth, Wellbeing. Balance, Challenge, Success, Purpose

Let's let life be the lesson.

Create well places for nourishing lives, where people love to be and are supported to learn and thrive,

It takes showing up wherever we are at right now. 

​

What am I like? ADHD at its best has gifted me with agility, an entrepreneurial, innovative business skill set and innate people capabilities. I have some specialist skills; hyper focus, high functioning intuition, I'm a hyper-reader. As a child I don't remember learning to read - I just could. Books, peoples emotions, the room. Rejection Sensitivity is great for sussing a crowd and knowing if someone has an issue. (Hate that). BUT IT'S NEVER ALL ABOUT YOU. 

I know to lean into uneasy feelings. It's OK if next level is triggering, let's look at it.

Trust that I hear you. Integrity, links what we think, do and say.

You are safe, you are talented and you are enough.

​

WHAT'S YOUR SUPERPOWER WITH PEOPLE ?

I pick up if people are sad and what the weakness is. Someone told me I do it to make myself feel better. OUCH.

That's a bit dark, With full authenticity I have had days where it's been one foot in front of the other, breaking life into 15 min chunks to get by,  (even wearing those *fk yeah boots) Doing whatever  it takes, walking through a valley of darkness looking out for wellbeing.

Worst life moment: Telling a daughter of her dad's suicide. That shit changes you. Makes you braver than you ever thought you could be, more compassionate, forgiving yet more injured than you ever thought possible. I step up with a safety net for anyone with suicidal idealization, I'm passionate about creating well places and nourishing lives. It is possible to have hope and to find balance again, to find safe haven after such grief. 

Nourish Talent, takes things next level.

WELLBEING FACILITATION TRANSFORMATION  

Type 2 Fun, LIFE feels hell, then - perhaps,  transforms into pure life nourishing moments.

I'm THAT partner, when you need someone to walk beside you, have your back, to get in behind or pick up pieces What kind of support do you want?

I'm a great sober buddy, perhaps I'm your learn a new thing buddy, or even your vent about anything buddy.
