​"I never set out to write this book. I wasn’t sure I even wanted to. I’m not a celebrity. I don’t have all the answers.
But then again, this is a story which I have thought hard and long about.
My story, unfortunately, is one that happens EVERY DAY—to thousands of women; and men. It is a story about being silenced and those who have been relegated to silence for a wide variety of reasons, whether by choice or not.​"

Lisa Bowman
​Author of Harasshole, Speaker and Activist

 Lisa Bowman is a survivor of workplace sexual harassment who shows women how to find their courage to stand up and speak out. More than 35 years after the landmark ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson where sexual harassment was recognized as a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In January of 2020, Lisa was terminated from her role as the global Chief Marketing Officer of United Way Worldwide in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment of herself and others by a peer on the Executive Team.

As a female leader, Lisa felt that to stay silent was to be complicit in condoning this and providing a path forward for this behavior to continue. She went public with her story via HuffPost in November of 2020 fueling significant media coverage that subsequently led to the resignation of United Way’s long standing CEO on February 9, 2021.

​"I am NOT an HR case. I am NOT an EEOC charge.  I'm a PERSON.
I'm a person that this organization just tossed aside, like garbage, because they didn't want to handle their problem, and instead, chose to make me the problem."

​By raising her voice, Lisa opened the door for others to follow, sharing their similar experiences during their tenure at the world’s largest non-profit. She has become one of the latest public faces of #MeToo.  Lisa has become a fierce and vocal advocate speaking about her experience to help others find their voice as well and end this systemic issue so that all women have access to safe, fair and dignified workplaces.

Lisa’s speaking experience includes keynote addresses, workshops, broadcast tv, radio and podcasts. Her business expertise has been cited in many print publications and she has contributed to several books
including authoring the foreword for Red Goldfish Non-Profit Edition.

The moderator for AwareNow, the official Talk Show for causes presented by Awareness Ties, broadcast by KNEKT TV on AppleTV and Roku,  she is also the host of her own 'zoomcast', The Mojo Moment, featuring business leaders who have found a purpose beyond driving profit.

In addition to her “Charitable Deduction: How the World’s Largest Non-Profit Wrote Me Off” speech, other topics include Leadership, Digital Transformation, Brand Revolution, and “You Are Here: The Intersection of Purpose & Profit".

Lisa Bowman is the founder and Chief Mojo Officer (CMO) of Marketing Mojo. She describes herself as a “Marchitecht” who has spent her career building for brands at the intersection of Purpose and Profit,
where good businesses live.  Prior to her role at United Way, she held several senior level roles at both UPS and The UPS Foundation.

Born and raised in Chicago where she never met a pizza she didn’t like, Lisa is currently based in Atlanta GA where finding a good Chicago-style pizza remains a persistent challenge. She believes that when confronted with adversity, one can choose to be a victim or a survivor; she chose the latter.
