At Powered For Purpose, we believe organisations thrive when their systems are aligned and purpose is positioned at the centre.

With more than two decades of leadership experience across the social services sector, Lisa Abbott brings a deep understanding of people, systems, and purposeful change.
Through Powered For Purpose, she leads a trusted network of consultants who combine strategic insight, creativity, and lived expertise to help organisations align purpose with performance.

“When organisations partner with a purpose-driven consultancy, they’re not just achieving internal goals—they’re investing in something bigger. It’s about creating a ripple effect where strategic growth also fuels community impact.” — Lisa Abbott
