Are you burnt out, exhausted, and emotionally spent? Do you feel there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish what you need to do?

A Champion for Obliterating Burnout in Healthcare & HR | Transformational Keynote & TEDx Speaker | Author | Certified PQ Coach | Mental Fitness * Wellness Coach Has self-care become a luxury? Do you reach for food as a source of comfort, only to find that it's ultimately making you feel worse? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Is your health suffering? This was me, after 26 years in the corporate retail industry. I reached my heaviest weight and was completely miserable. I desperately needed a change. I took a leap of faith, quit the corporate world, and started a career in the direct selling industry. I spent an amazing 16 years serving my clients, and developed a love for coaching and mentoring others. During this time, I began my health and wellness journey with one of largest global wellness companies, losing 65 pounds in 2011. Upon reaching my goal, I decided to become a service provider, and have spent the last 10 years as a Wellness Coach, helping thousands of members achieve their health and wellness objectives. In 2020, the direct selling company I was employed with, closed its doors. I took this as an opportunity to take my wellness journey to a new level. In May of 2020, I launched my Success Coaching practice, to help individuals who were struggling with unhealthy behavior due to the pandemic. My practice has grown to helping business executives take charge of their lives, by releasing limiting beliefs that drive unhealthy behavior, and resetting their mindset and actions so they can live their happiest, healthiest, and most successful life. My clients have struggled with the following:
* Weight gain
* Poor health
* Job burnout
* Limiting beliefs that lead to lack of confidence and self-worth
* Inability to achieve work, life, balance
* Inability to achieve personal and professional goals
* Relationship challenges

Client success stories include:
* Significant reduction in stress and anxiety by creating a balanced life
* Weight loss
* Improved health
* Development of sustainable healthy habits (mind and body)
* Development of a solid Vision for goal achievement
* Building strong confidence
* Positive mindset shift
* Improved relationships
* Business success

One of the most dangerous signs of burnout in healthcare leadership isn’t stress.

It’s apathy.

During a recent Discovery Call, a healthcare leader shared…

She felt like she was slowly dying in her role.

Not physically… but professionally and emotionally.

The paperwork multiplied.
The pressure increased.
The expectations grew.

And the purpose that once fueled her career began to fade.

She told me:

⚠️ She no longer felt passionate about the work she was doing
⚠️ The organization she worked for no longer aligned with her core values
⚠️ Her contributions felt invisible
⚠️ She was showing up for the paycheck — not the mission
⚠️ The dreams she once had for her career were slipping away

After years of pushing through burnout, she started to question herself.

Her confidence declined.
Her ability to dream of a better life faded.

She began to believe this was just what leadership in healthcare looked like.

She became a client, by the way.

So let me ask you something, healthcare and HR leaders:

Does this sound familiar?

Are you merely surviving in your role rather than thriving?

Have you stopped imagining what a fulfilling career could look like?

Maybe you're telling yourself to hang on until retirement…

Because it feels safer than making a change.

But here's what I believe:

We were not put on this earth to endure our careers.

We are here to thrive in them.

So what’s really stopping you?

Fear?
Loss of confidence?
A high salary that feels too risky to walk away from?
Family responsibilities?

Now ask yourself a harder question:

What will your life look like in six months if nothing changes?
Burnout never fixes itself. 🔥

Are you willing to settle for “a little or a lot worse” every year?

OR

Are you ready to create meaningful change in your life and career?

The choice is yours.

And if you’re not sure where to begin…

I can help. 🪂

HR and healthcare leaders face high-pressure moments every day.

👉 Staffing shortages.
👉 Difficult employee conversations.
👉 Presenting to executives.
👉 Leading teams through constant change.

Those moments can trigger stress, self-doubt, and anxiety.

Ironically, I used to feel that same way about public speaking.

In college, presenting in front of a class of 40–50 students made me so nervous I actually made myself sick.

Today, speaking on stage energizes me.

What changed?

Mental fitness.

Before every presentation, I use simple micro-meditations—breath work and rubbing two fingertips together. In Positive Intelligence®, these are called PQ reps.

They help shift my mindset from anxiety to calm focus.

And they saved me during my first TEDx talk.

Ten seconds into my presentation, the MC shouted from the side of the stage:

“Lisa! Stop!”

My microphone wasn’t on.

She rushed on stage and had to reach behind my jacket to turn it on while the audience watched.

A few years earlier, that moment would have completely derailed me.

Instead, I paused, took a breath, smiled at the audience… and started again.

The irony?

My talk was about managing stress in the moment.

Healthcare and HR leaders face moments like this every day.

Unexpected problems.
High-stakes decisions.
Difficult conversations.

Mental fitness doesn’t remove the pressure.

But it helps you respond with clarity, calm, and confidence instead of reactivity.

Sometimes the smallest practices create the biggest shift.
What helps you reset in stressful moments?

03/05/2026

Many leaders tell me:

“I don’t have the time and resources to make it happen.”
“I’m not ready.”
“I’m not qualified.”
“It’s too risky.”

Sound familiar?

In healthcare and HR leadership roles, procrastination is not laziness, it’s survival mode.

Sometimes the real barriers are things like:

👉 Fear that leaving your current job means you may not find another position
👉 Fear of advocating for yourself for a promotion or leadership opportunity
👉 Fear of saying no to more responsibilities when you're already overwhelmed
👉 Fear of disappointing your team or organization
👉 Fear of stepping away from a role where people depend on you every day

Add in burnout, long hours, staffing shortages, and constant pressure — and suddenly positive change feels impossible.

But underneath the hesitation, the same patterns show up again and again.

In my experience, there are 10 common reasons leaders do not achieve their goals:

• Fear of success or failure
• Lack of belief that goal achievement is possible
• Lack of a clear vision
• Inability to focus
• Not delegating to their team
• Lack of boundaries
• Unrealistic goals
• Too many goals
• Getting stuck in the weeds
• Lack of support

Healthcare and HR leaders spend their careers advocating for patients, employees, and organizations.

But many struggle to advocate for themselves.

So let me ask you:

Are you burned out and lacking the mental bandwidth to create the life or career you want?

Are you hesitant to apply for a leadership role because you doubt your qualifications?

Are you staying in a role that no longer serves you because change feels too risky?

You deserve more than survival mode.

No more “I CAN’T.”

It’s time for “I CAN and I WILL.” 💪

Let’s chat.

03/03/2026

Healthcare & HR leaders — how do you talk to yourself after a challenging day?

Are you supportive and strategic…
Or are you your own worst critic?

Imagine this:

You spent the day navigating staffing shortages.
A difficult employee relations issue.
A last-minute compliance concern.
A patient or workforce crisis that needed immediate attention.

You were interrupted all day.
You skipped lunch.
You answered emails between meetings.
You carried everyone else’s stress on your shoulders.

It’s 8pm when you leave work.

You’re exhausted — decision-fatigued and emotionally drained.
You order takeout. You pour a glass of wine. You just need to decompress.

The next morning?
You’re foggy. You didn’t sleep well. You’re frustrated with yourself.

You were supposed to work out.
You were supposed to meal prep.
You were supposed to “do better.”

And now the internal dialogue starts:

“You should know better.”
“You’re an advocate for wellbeing — look at you.”
“You have no willpower.”

Sound familiar?

Healthcare and HR leaders spend their days supporting everyone else’s wellbeing — but often neglect their own.

And here’s the thing:

The more we criticize ourselves, the more shame compounds.
And shame doesn’t improve performance — it erodes resilience.

Your internal dialogue drives your belief system which drives your behavior.
Your behavior shapes your leadership presence.

So how do you interrupt the cycle?

Instead of self-judgment, try self-inquiry:

👉 What actually caused that behavior?
(Was it exhaustion? Emotional overload? Decision fatigue?)
👉 What support did I need yesterday that I didn’t give myself?
👉 What can I do differently next time?

Curiosity builds awareness.
Awareness builds intentional change.
Shame just builds more shame.

You can’t undo yesterday’s coping mechanism.
But you can understand the trigger — and create a better strategy for the next high-pressure day.

And in healthcare and HR… there will always be another high-pressure day.

If this resonates, it might be time to lead yourself with the same compassion you extend to your teams.

Let’s start there.

03/01/2026

Change is constant in healthcare and HR.

Leadership transitions
Mergers
Restructuring
Policy shifts
Ongoing, politically mandated changes to DEI initiatives

For Healthcare & HR leaders, this is operational, cultural, and deeply human.

Heightened scrutiny
Legal considerations
Conflicting expectations
Emotional reactions

So how do we lead with confidence in a volatile climate?

Here are five strategies:

1️⃣ Acknowledge the emotional impact

Change triggers fear, anxiety, frustration — particularly around DEI where perspectives can be deeply personal.

👉Name it
👉Validate it
👉Offer resilience tools

Silence erodes trust; empathy builds it.

2️⃣ Communicate with clarity and consistency

When information is unclear, people create their own narratives.

👉Share updates early — even if incomplete
👉Use multiple channels (town halls, team huddles, written updates)
👉Create space for Q&A

Transparency reduces speculation.

3️⃣ Equip leaders to be change champions

Leaders set the emotional tone of the organization.

👉Provide talking points and FAQs
👉Train leaders on empathetic communication
👉Reinforce inclusive leadership behaviors

When leaders model steadiness, teams follow.

4️⃣ Build a growth mindset culture

In healthcare, diverse perspectives drive better patient outcomes and innovation.

👉Reposition change as learning and growth
👉Offer inclusive leadership training and bias awareness sessions
👉Recognize those who model adaptability

Framing matters.

5️⃣ Provide practical support

Change fatigue is real — especially in already stretched systems.

Support might include:

👉Wellness resources
👉Coaching for leaders navigating difficult conversations
👉Clear, realistic timelines
👉Psychological safety

HR leaders sit at the intersection of people, policy, and pressure.

Empathy
Transparency
Structure
Support

That’s how trust is built during transition.

How are you helping your teams stay steady during change right now?

HR and Healthcare Leaders — Have You Ever Been So Stressed You Made Yourself Sick?

In healthcare, stress isn’t occasional.
It’s operational.

Sleep becomes optional.
Lunch happens between emails — if at all.
Days off are spent worrying about staffing gaps, compliance issues, and what crisis Monday will bring.

And when illness hits?

You power through.

“There’s too much on my plate.”
“My team needs me.”
“I can’t afford to slow down.”

But here’s what we know — both personally and clinically:

Chronic stress suppresses lymphocytes (your infection-fighting white blood cells).
It increases systemic inflammation.
It compromises decision-making, patience, and resilience.

The leaders responsible for supporting workforce wellbeing are often running on empty themselves.

That was me.

Before my body forced the issue, I was:

• 65 pounds overweight
• Living with chronic migraines and digestive issues
• Depressed and sleep deprived
• Emotionally exhausted
• Watching my marriage derail

I reached burnout.

In desperation, I left a 26-year career — without a transition plan.

The fallout was bankruptcy.

Here’s the hard truth:

Most burnout-driven exits aren’t strategic. They’re survival responses.

And in healthcare leadership, the cost of reactive decision-making is enormous — for you, your organization, and the workforce counting on you.

What I wish I had done sooner:

👉 Set non-negotiable boundaries
👉 Built stress-recovery systems
👉 Created a long-range transition strategy
👉 Protected my health like it was non-negotiable

Your organization has contingency plans.

Do you?

Imagine leading from a place of strength instead of depletion.
Imagine modeling sustainable performance for your workforce.
Imagine aligning your role with your values without sacrificing your health or financial stability.

If you’re an HR or healthcare leader running on fumes, this is your sign:

Don’t wait for your body — or a breaking point — to make the decision for you.

Let’s build a proactive strategy for sustainable leadership.

02/24/2026

Burnout doesn’t always start with workload.

Often, it begins with misalignment.

Healthcare and HR leaders carry enormous responsibility. When our personal values no longer align with our organization’s direction, it creates internal conflict.

Over time that conflict becomes exhaustion.
Disengagement.
Frustration.
Burnout.

You don’t have to quit.
You don’t have to implode.
You don’t have to wait until you’re desperate.

You may simply need a reset.

That’s why I created the Burnout to Best Life: Next-Chapter Leadership Reset.

Over four weeks, we clarify values, strengthen our mental fitness, and design a sustainable leadership strategy that aligns with who we are — not just what we do.

If you’re sensing misalignment, let’s talk before burnout makes the decision for you.

Message me for details.

02/23/2026

Can we talk about the leaders who look like they’re holding it all together… but are completely exhausted?

I work with healthcare and HR leaders every day who are:

• Overextended
• Carrying everyone else’s stress
• Pushing through fatigue
• Wondering if this is just “how leadership is”

It’s not.

Burnout is not a badge of honor.
And it’s not a personal weakness.

It’s often the result of unexamined patterns and chronic stress.
That’s why I created the Burnout to Best Life: Next-Chapter Leadership Reset Cohort.

Over four weeks, we walk through:

✔ Recognizing early burnout signals
✔ Strengthening mental fitness
✔ Improving communication and focus
✔ Build a supportive community of trusted advisors for support and career growth

This is a small, supportive cohort experience — not a massive program where you disappear into the background.

If you’ve been thinking, “Something needs to change,” this may be your moment.

You don’t have to crash to reset.

Why do healthcare and HR leaders tolerate toxic work environments?

They’re passionate advocates for patient care.
They champion employee wellbeing.
They design engagement strategies.

This leads to silently absorbing a culture that’s draining.

Why do high-performing leaders stay?

👉 Compensation & lifestyle – They’ve worked hard to reach this level. Walking away feels risky.

👉 “I’ll retire soon.” – Biding time feels easier than disrupting stability.

👉 Familiarity – Even dysfunction can feel predictable.

👉 Exhaustion – When they’ve reached burnout, the thought of looking for another job is overwhelming.

👉 Fear of the unknown – What if the next role isn’t better?

👉 Self-doubt – “Maybe this is as good as it gets.”

Here’s the thing:

What will health, relationships, and leadership capacity look like 6–12 months from now if nothing changes?

Chronic stress doesn’t stay at work. It shows up as:

⚠️ Emotional reactivity
⚠️ Poor sleep
⚠️ Brain fog
⚠️ Compromised productivity
⚠️ Elevated blood pressure
⚠️ Weight gain
⚠️ Illness
⚠️ Disengagement at home
⚠️ Compassion fatigue

In healthcare and HR, the irony is painful:

Caring for others while neglecting yourself.

I’ve seen too many leaders push through warning signs until their bodies forced a stop.

Tolerating toxicity doesn’t create resilience.
It causes depletion.

Mental fitness isn’t just about surviving challenges — it’s about strengthening capacity to make clear, values-aligned decisions about the future.

If this resonates, it may be time for a different conversation.

02/20/2026

Thank you to the North Texas SHRM Chapter for the opportunity to speak to your amazing group for the second time.

I appreciated your engagement and insightful comments.

I'm so grateful that my message resonated with you!

02/19/2026

Why do some leaders appear to have unlimited willpower… while others struggle to stay focused on their goals?

Here’s the truth:
It’s not willpower.

Especially in healthcare and HR, when a typical day includes staffing shortages, escalating costs, employee crises, compliance issues, and endless meetings.

After a day like that, it’s easy to:

• Reach for sugar or wine to decompress
• Overspend online for a quick dopamine hit
• Scroll instead of sleep
• Lose patience with someone you care about
• Emotionally shut down instead of processing the stress

That’s not weakness. That’s an overloaded nervous system.

Leaders who appear “disciplined” haven’t been gifted a willpower gene.

They’ve learned how to recognize their emotional triggers — and respond differently.

When stress drives our decisions, it destroys:

• Health
• Mental clarity
• Leadership presence
• Confidence
• Long-term goals

Self-sabotage isn’t a character flaw. It’s a stress response.

The first step is awareness.
The second is support.

You don’t need to “fix” yourself.

You need tools, accountability, and space to build mental fitness — so you can lead without sacrificing your wellbeing.

If this resonates, let’s chat.

It’s time to stop managing stress with short-term relief and start building long-term resilience.

THANK YOU, Mohamed Abdallah MBA for purchasing my latest book and writing such a thoughtful review. I'm so grateful you found the insights valuable.

"Lisa Hammett’s From Burnout to Best Life is a thoughtful and practical book for anyone navigating stress, pressure, or the risk of burnout. What I appreciate most is that this is not theory alone—it comes from lived experience, honest reflection, and a sincere desire to help others avoid the same difficult path.

The mental fitness tools in this book are clear, realistic, and easy to apply in daily life. Lisa shows how burnout develops over time and how small, intentional changes in mindset, habits, and relationships can lead to meaningful recovery and long-term balance.

As a professional balancing research, clients, and community service, I found this book especially relevant. It is a strong reminder that success should not come at the cost of health, family, or purpose. Sustainable leadership begins with a healthy mind and body.

I highly recommend this book to professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to perform well without sacrificing well-being. It’s a valuable resource to read, reflect on, and return to."
