Why ‘Ocean Tides’?
When Lisa first started her business in 1999 she was pondering a company name. Her husband Neil said, “if you are considering a creative name, it has to have the ocean in it, because you love the ocean”. Lisa then researched ocean tides and decided there was a metaphor in there somewhere about the tides of change in life and leadership, and the importance of being resilient and present through the ebb and flow. The pictures of the ocean on this site were taken by Lisa’s husband Neil.
