Lisa reveals a powerful insight from her work with executives: the same lack of systems preventing leaders from prioritizing their health is creating chaos in their businesses. They explore why wellness programs deliver measurable ROI, how the true cost of turnover can reach 213% of an employee's salary, and why employees want connection regardless of whether they identify as introverts or extroverts. Lisa also shares practical strategies for navigating return-to-office challenges and building effective community without making it feel forced.
