Lisa MacDonald www.imperfectionisbeautiful.life

Small Business Owner I Motivational Life Coach I Abstract Artist I Motivational Speaker I Author

I’m the founder of Imperfection is Beautiful which represents myself and my work of art. As an Abstract Motivational Artist who creates nationality and motivational paintings, my purpose for the paintings is to help make others feel good and give them a reminder to never give up.

Growing up I had some struggles and found painting as a helpful way to work through my emotions. This is where my company started because I wanted to help motivate others through my paintings and workshops. I began to do this by providing others with art activities, motivational speeches, workshops, and coaching.

As a motivational speaker, I speak to people about how to accept their imperfections and how to have a strong mindset when going through difficult times. I also offer public workshops that are based on art activities and motivational speeches. In my private sessions, I offer certified life coaching skills that will be focused on building self-esteem, personality discovery, goals, coping skills, and time management.

In my free time, I enjoy doing things outdoors including hiking and kayaking as well as painting, meditating, and doing yoga.

Nicole S. Ensmenger COTA/L (She/Her) https://tinkern.org
Strategic growth partner, helping people thrive through transformational coaching, creative workshops, and leadership development.

Leadership is not just about managing people—it’s about empowering them to grow, adapt, and thrive. With extensive experience in personal growth strategies, team development, and leadership training, I combine evidence-based practices with a holistic approach to equip professionals with the tools they need to unlock their full potential and drive meaningful change.

Specializing in transformational leadership, emotional intelligence, and professional development, my work focuses on creating high-impact experiences that foster confidence, resilience, and strategic thinking. I believe leadership success starts with understanding people—how they think, what motivates them, and how to leverage their unique strengths for individual and team success.

What sets my approach apart is its holistic focus on the interconnectedness of professional and personal growth. By addressing mindset, well-being, and purpose, I empower individuals to navigate change, manage stress, and build leadership agility with clarity and balance. My workshops, coaching sessions, and leadership training programs are designed to provide actionable insights and strategies that enhance both performance and fulfillment.
