Motivational Speaking
Are you looking for a breath of fresh air for your next event? Let’s put our heads together and hatch a plan to bring some HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® mojo to inspire and motivate your group to take good care of themselves and play nice with others.
Are you tired of feeling stressed and out of balance?
What does it look like to balance your life with my HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® holistic wellness program? It’s a little different for everyone, but just imagine feeling increasingly radiant, happy, and fulfilled. To me, it means being mindful enough to separate yourself from your emotions and manage your stress and feelings effectively. It means connecting with your family and friends without losing yourself or trying to control them. It means focusing on what gives meaning and purpose to your life, learning something new, and seeking personal satisfaction through your life’s work while living within your means. HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® wellness is a state of balanced health that we can all aspire to regardless of where we start. The more we connect, really connect, to others in a spirit of presence, acceptance, and compassion, the more we will notice that, without much effort, there is a shift. And then Voilà!… It is happening.
How are Your Relationships Going?
Why do I ask? Relationships can be extremely challenging! Why? Most people simply don’t know that they are being overly focused on themselves (self-absorbed) or other people (codependent). Even if they are aware, they might not know how to get past their egos and back in the game! With the evidence-based HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® program, I teach people the ‘WE’ in “WELLNESS”…how to overcome narcissistic and codependent patterns in order to avoid power struggles, galvanize efforts, and enjoy personal and relationship health. I help people help themselves with coaching and the HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® online assessment program that confidentially accesses and improves 28 aspects of a balanced life. The premise of the program is that taking good care of ourselves and others is key to productivity, health, and happiness. My research at the University of Texas at Austin indicates that a shocking 78% of Americans are at least unconsciously self-absorbed in their interactions – which translates into imbalances in relationships that can cause many mental, physical, and relationship problems. Happy Whole Humans don’t just talk Win/Win, they live it.
The HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN®
Six Step Process
Many people have a sense that something is wrong in their own lives, or in their families or companies. They know that they need help either figuring out what it is and making a needed change, or resolving disputes and moving forward. My philosophy is that most people have a better sense of what they need than anyone else possibly could. With this in mind, I work with clients as a guide to help them to increasingly trust themselves, know themselves, and follow their instincts about how to realize their desired outcomes.
HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Coaching Strategy
1. Assessing strength and growth areas
As a first step, I invite clients to take the confidential 15-minute online HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Holistic Wellness Self-Assessment and get a personalized results report with next step suggestions on how to improve their lives and relationships across 28 dimensions of health. When a group of people take the test, I provide their leadership with valuable insights in the form of management consulting and workshops using HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® aggregate reports highlighting key performance indicators. In our coaching intake session, we go over the results report and focus on what is working well and what areas could use some work. Often, people are so concerned about what is wrong that their functional strengths are taken for granted. I help clients to highlight their essential strengths and use them to make needed changes.
2. Envisioning
After assessing strengths, values, and goals, analyzing the changing context, and identifying any outdated strategies and dynamics, I explain the HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® vision and work with clients as they connect to their true selves and commit to improving their lives and relationships. I also work with clients to help them assess their current values and practices, how things in their lives and contexts are changing, identify any gaps between what is and what is desired, and clarify the ways in which old methods and mindsets are no longer working.
3. Empowering with tools and training
Depending on what the HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Assessment exercises have highlighted, clients may opt to focus on specific areas to target for improvement. The HWH Handbook offers exercises and affirmations for each of the 28 dimensions of holistic wellness. I support clients as they seek out and utilize appropriate resources, interventions, and support as well.
4. Working through barriers
I help clients work through any blockages or obstacles that are holding them back from achieving their desired outcomes. Sometimes this involves them using me as a sounding board. Other times, I might help clients identify and release stuck emotional energy using breath work and meditative visualizations, combined with hypnosis. In my work helping to improve relationship dynamics, whether working with married couples, friends, coworkers, or communities, I help individuals identify common interests and find ways to address or put aside differences to allow forward movement towards shared goals. I teach clients constructive, non-defensive emotion management and communication strategies. I help to raise individual awareness and accountability while helping clients detach from other people’s patterns and projections. I also help clients seek out appropriate resources and support as appropriate.
5. Designing a plan of action
Using all of the information obtained in the preliminary steps, and focusing on the desired vision of how clients want things to be, we help clients to come up with a pragmatic plan of action.
For individuals, this can involve a process that I refer to as Lifestyle Architecture. For families, companies, and organizations, HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® coaching conceives of this process as System Architecture in which the operating rules, principles, values, priorities, and goals of all parties and the organizing system itself are considered and used to create a plan of action that is likely to be effective in achieving the shared goals and vision.
6. Measuring progress and maintaining momentum
Because circumstances and individuals inevitably change in unexpected ways, I help clients to periodically evaluate their progress and readjust their vision and action plan as necessary. Every month, clients will be invited to retake their HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Holistic Wellness Self-Assessment to keep momentum and check-in with themselves.

Testimonials
Because of Lisa’s history, education, empathy and combination of passion and compassion as well as an incredible sense of humor, she has the best tools that money can’t buy and she is wonderful at sharing them and teaching me how to best use them. I have known Lisa for over five years and although I initially went to her with career and weight issues, I continue to seek her out for help in other areas as well. I was able to transition out of a toxic job and I lost over 40 pounds! What I learned in the process has helped me work through life’s challenges including relationships, feeling stuck, depression, anxiety, lethargy… If Lisa could be offered in a pill form, I’d take it every day and recommend it to everyone I know!
The highlight of the [CC2015] concurrent sessions was the illuminating Dr. Lisa Leit [pronounced, “light”], Founder of the Happy Whole Human Institute for Holistic Wellness. One of her client partners, Jessica Agneessens, Founder of the Academy for Conscious Leadership at Whole Foods Market, co-presented, highlighting the customization of the HWH™ Program for Whole Foods. Together, they presented wisdom and Happy Whole Human™ tools that demonstrate just how much further the most conscious corporations are going to support the performance maximizing benefits of “happy whole human” business culture.
As a busy professional with varied and challenging responsibilities, it is hard to always maintain a winning attitude. I sought executive coaching with Lisa to reduce my stress and improve the effectiveness of my communications. Interestingly, in the process, I learned more about my own needs and am feeling more present, fulfilled, and at peace. Still busy and productive, but feeling much more relaxed and happy in the process.
Dr. Leit transformed my approach to my career as well as my intimate relationships! She gave me much needed, actionable tools to manage my fears, as well as my stagnation. She is a master at holding up a mirror with compassion and sensitivity, while being effective and skillful. I have recommended Dr. Leit to several friends experiencing turbulence in their marriages, their parenting ability, as well as when they have been stuck in their careers. Dr. Leit brings a plethora of modalities to the table and intuitively matches them to your own personal needs for optimal growth and actualization. If I could give more stars I would! If you’re looking for a quick balance or long term strategy and support, then you are in great hands.
