Lisa Lambert
Consultant, Coach and Trainer

As a Professor and Academic Administrator at Utah Valley University (UVU), Lisa Lambert, M.B.A., brings to Authentic Strengths Advantage® a background rich in leveraging individuals for professional and personal success, and in helping organizations change with effective leadership and strategy. She teaches several courses related to achieving success and to developing effective personal leadership, including Leadership Mentoring, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People© and Hardiness©-Stress Management. Professor Lambert recently received the Alumni Outstanding Educator Award in May of 2015, an award given by current university students and alumni.

Professor Lambert served as Assistant Dean in University College (2005-2007), and Directed the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence (1996-2004). Lambert co-chaired UVU’s institutional Student Success and Retention Committee with Michelle Taylor, Ph.D., now Vice President for Student Affairs (2005-2007). Lambert and Taylor co-authored UVU’s first successful federal Title III grant application (2006): “Student Success and Retention Initiative” which awarded over $2 Million dollars to UVU specifically for a comprehensive and integrated project to improve student success, retention and persistence to graduation at UVU.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) informs all of Professor Lambert’s teaching, training and consulting. In addition to studying and integrating the principles and values of positive psychology into courses that help first-year students succeed and persist at higher levels, Lambert actively pursues the SoTL as it relates to engaged and transformational learning, transformative leadership (peer mentoring), critical andragogy and a critically reflective teaching practice.

Lisa was UVU’s Engaged Learning Faculty Fellow during 2013-2014. In this role, Lambert was the project lead, and lead author for the university’s successful reapplication to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s “Community Engaged” classification. Professor Lambert is a key faculty member involved in student success and retention, and was instrumental early on in facilitating UVU campus dialogues on student retention and success to focus on engaged teaching and learning as a vital underpinning philosophy.

Service to others is a defining principle in Professor Lambert’s life having had parents who raised her with what Elie Weisel calls The Eleventh Commandment: “Never stand idly by while another suffers.” As a Faculty Advisor for UVU’s Women’s Success Center (WSC), Lambert works to grow the resources and services of the WSC (including securing help and resources for victims of domestic and sexual violence; educating women and advocating for them for success in both the public/private sectors and in the home), and she sponsors several female students each year for Doris Buffet’s Women’s Independent Scholarship Program, a program designed to financially assist survivors of domestic violence to attend college. Lambert has also served for multiples of years on the planning committee for The Clothesline Project at UVU.

Lisa’s family includes her daughter and son-in-law, and two grandsons. When she is not introducing her grandsons to the magic of Rock-‘n-Roll music, Lisa can be found visiting with beloved friends and reading or watching films.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
