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.Chapters:00:32 Meet Lisa Snow01:41 The Root Cause Behind Employee Engagement03:59 From Personal Training to Corporate Wellness07:17 How Wellness Hits the Bottom Line09:55 Scaling Programs for Company Size14:11 Bridging the Gap Between Leaders and Employees17:59 The Power of Gift Boxes and Shared Experiences21:44 Taking Things Off the Leader's Plate23:45 Navigating Return to Office28:07 The Real Cost of Turnover29:48 Advice to Her Younger Self31:34 How to Connect with Lisa
