Why step away from something you love, only to come back? For Dr. Lisa Herbert, the answer came down to one realization: the work had changed, the conversations had changed, and she had changed too. After taking a hiatus from Coaching Healthcare Leaders, Dr. Lisa returns with a clearer perspective on the conversations healthcare leaders need to be having. During her time away, she coached physicians and healthcare executives, worked with organizations, and listened closely to what leaders were saying and what they weren't saying. She began noticing a pattern: The resignation is rarely where the problem begins. It often begins much earlier with a concern that wasn't heard, conflict that wasn't addressed, a physician who stopped speaking up, or a leader quietly becoming disengaged. In this comeback episode, Dr. Lisa shares why she stepped away, what she learned during the pause, and how her Clinical + Coaching + Culture™ framework is shaping the next chapter of the podcast. She also shares what listeners can expect going forward: candid conversations about healthcare leadership and culture, stories from leaders changing healthcare, practical strategies, and real coaching conversations that explore the challenges leaders often navigate behind closed doors. Coaching Healthcare Leaders is back. And this time, we're bringing the conversations happening behind closed doors into the open.
