Tell us about your life before the venture/ leading up to your venture?
I spent 26 years in the corporate retail sector, which led to burnout. The high stress, toxic environment took a toll on my physical and emotional health and my marriage. I was depressed, overweight, and physically and emotionally exhausted. In a moment of desperation, I left my long-term career, at a high salary, without an exit strategy, which eventually resulted in bankruptcy. I share this to say that everything I experienced could have been prevented, had I done a better job managing my stress and self-care. I still would have left the industry, but I would have been more thoughtful about my departure, and planned a way to replace my income, preventing bankruptcy.
Despite the distress of filing bankruptcy, leaving my toxic work environment was the best thing I could have done for my physical and emotional health. I went through a transformative wellness journey and lost 65 pounds. I became a wellness coach for one of the largest, global, health and wellness companies. For 11 years I positively impacted the lives of thousands of individuals by empowering them to make lasting lifestyle changes.
During the pandemic I completed an intensive, global coaching program with High Performing Coach (HPC), and launched Lisa Hammett Success Coaching, incorporating 1 to 1, transformational coaching.
