Lisa Lisser: From Rule Follower to Confident Leader

from Leaders of Today: From Teens to Titans · host Lorraine Connell, www.peersnotfears.com

In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Lisser, founder of LZL Coaching, to explore how early life experiences shape leadership, confidence, and the ability to ask for help. Lisa shares how growing up as a high-achieving “rule follower” led her to believe she had to figure everything out on her own and how that mindset followed her into adulthood. Through personal stories and real-life examples, she explains how learning to ask for help, embrace vulnerability, and communicate effectively transformed both her life and her work. We also dive into: Why leadership is a skill, not a personality trait The hidden cost of trying to “do it all alone” How curiosity can replace judgment in relationships Tools like “BIF” (Brief, Informative, Factual, Firm) for better communication This conversation is a reminder that true leadership starts within and that you don’t have to figure everything out alone.
