From Corporate Persona to Authentic Self: Lisa Joyce's LifeThread Coaching

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Lisa Joyce, the founder of LifeThread Coaching, LLC. Lisa shares her powerful journey from a high-powered career as a Director of Administration at a hedge fund to becoming an executive coach. She reveals the personal catalyst for this change—a struggle with her daughter's mental health that forced her to look in the mirror and realize she was out of alignment with her true self. This experience became the foundation for her mission to help other women avoid similar pitfalls and navigate their careers and personal lives with integrity.Lisa delves into her coaching philosophy, which focuses on helping women, especially "underdogs" and working moms, reconnect with their core values and personal identity outside of their corporate personas. She discusses the common struggles of imposter syndrome, the challenge of balancing masculine and feminine energies in the workplace, and the importance of community. Lisa also outlines her current one-on-one and group coaching offerings and her future aspirations, including giving a TED talk and creating a broader community for support and growth.
