Lisa Hammett is a relatable transformational keynote and TEDx speaker, international best-selling author, Positive Intelligence® (PQ) Certified Coach and Trainer, wellness expert, and a passionate champion for obliterating burnout, especially within healthcare and HR. Her work is grounded in lived experience, making her message both credible and deeply resonant with leaders navigating chronic stress, change, and overwhelm.
After 26 years as a leader in the corporate retail industry, Lisa found herself stressed, burned out, and at her heaviest weight. Her life was completely out of balance. The relentless pace and pressure took a toll on her health, mindset and marriage. She was depressed, unhappy, and at the lowest point in her life. In a moment of desperation, Lisa walked away from a long-term corporate career, without an exit strategy, which eventually led to bankruptcy.
During this time, Lisa began her own health and wellness journey with one of the world’s largest global wellness companies—losing 65 pounds and reclaiming her energy, confidence, and sense of purpose.
Upon reaching her health goals, Lisa chose to become a service provider and spent 11 years as a Wellness Coach, helping thousands of individuals achieve sustainable health and wellness outcomes. Her approach goes far beyond quick fixes, focusing instead on mindset shifts, creating sustainable healthy habits, and whole-person wellbeing.
During the pandemic, Lisa launched her Success Coaching practice to support individuals struggling with chronic stress, burnout, and unhealthy behaviors. As uncertainty and overwhelm escalated, her work became more relevant.
Lisa further deepened her expertise by joining a global coaching program through HPC – High Performing Coach. This training enabled her to seamlessly blend life coaching with her extensive health and wellness background, creating a holistic and highly effective approach for her clients.
Several months later, Lisa was introduced to Positive Intelligence®, as a resource for combating stress and other negative emotions in the moment. She found the mental fitness tools to be ground breaking and easy to implement. This prompted Lisa to become a Positive Intelligence® PQ Certified Coach.
Today, Lisa empowers individuals to take charge of their lives by releasing limiting beliefs that drive unhealthy behaviors, resetting their mindset, and aligning their actions with what truly matters. Clients learn how negative thought patterns sabotage performance, wellbeing, communication, and relationships—and how to shift those patterns to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
Lisa’s international best-selling, From Burnout to Best Life Series, provides a blueprint to create positive change, inspiring the reader to take action to create their best life.
Whether on stage, in coaching, or through her books, Lisa’s mission is unwavering: to help people move from burnout to their best life, without sacrificing their health, relationships, or happiness along the way.
