ABOUT LISA

I help high achievers stand in their brilliance and ask for what they deserve

I'm Lisa Reyna, an Executive Transformation Coach who combines a psychotherapy background with 20+ years of executive coaching to create inside-out transformation. My background lets me see patterns others cannot see, integrate healing with transformation, and work from evidence-based psychological principles rather than surface tactics.

“When we're born, we're whole, beautiful, no restrictions, no limitations. Then with time, the whole becomes fragmented. My work is to sit with you to remove the layers so you can become whole again."

Together we address the three patterns that hold high achievers back most: imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and over-functioning.

THE WORK

The three patterns I work with most

High achievers are often rewarded for the very patterns that quietly cap them. If you see yourself below, you are not broken. You are skilled at something that is now costing you.

Imposter Syndrome

Two cycles: perfectionism, overdoing without ever integrating success, and procrastination, self-sabotage that avoids success altogether.

YOU MIGHT NOTICE

  • Waiting to be found out, despite the title

  • Working twice as hard to prove you belong

  • Explaining your wins away as luck or timing

  • Delaying the bigger move until you feel ready


People Pleasing

Appears as helpfulness on the surface. Underneath, it leads to resentment, burnout, and misalignment.

YOU MIGHT NOTICE

  • Saying yes before you have decided

  • A calendar full of other people's priorities

  • Replaying conversations, worried you upset someone

  • Resentment where generosity used to be


Naming the pattern is the first step to neutralizing it. The next step is the work.

Over-Functioning

Never stopping. Often externally rewarded, which makes it the hardest pattern to recognize as a problem.

YOU MIGHT NOTICE

  • Being the person everyone relies on

  • Rest that feels like falling behind

  • Doing the work of three people and getting praised for it

  • Guilt when you finally do nothing


PHASE 1

Breakthrough

Before you can build real confidence, you have to clear what is working against it. In Stage 1 we identify and remove the limiting beliefs, core beliefs, self-sabotage patterns, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt that have been quietly keeping you small and stuck. Nothing changes on the outside until this work happens on the inside.

MY SIGNATURE PROGRAM

Own Your Brilliance™

You were born whole. Life adds layers of conditioning, limiting beliefs, and self-protective patterns. The Own Your Brilliance framework removes those layers so you return to wholeness, operate in flow, and stand fully in your brilliance.

PHASE 2

Discover

Real fulfillment does not come from doing more. It comes from doing what you are built for. In Phase 2 we use personality, leadership, career, strengths, and values assessments to build a scientific, research-backed map of your authentic self — so you can align your career and leadership with your inner compass and start feeling it.

PHASE 3

Roadmap

Here we ask the question most people spend a lifetime avoiding: what must you accomplish before you leave this earth? From that answer we build everything — your Why, your Vision, and a concrete Action Plan that integrates your goals, your purpose, and your values into one clear direction. Clients call this the most transformative phase of the entire program.

PHASE 4

Execution

You have done the inner work. Now we build the outer life. In Phase 4 we co-create a strategy specific to exactly where you are going — a promotion, a new role, stronger leadership, a thought leader platform, a business, or simply the life your purpose is calling you toward. This is the phase where clarity becomes action and action becomes results.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Three pathways. One foundation.

Every pathway is built on the same inside-out foundation. Your goals determine the track.

THE CAREER PATHWAY

Career Transformation

6  MONTHS 
For professionals in active career transition. From clarity to a fully positioned, interview-ready, negotiation-confident professional brand: assessments, resume and LinkedIn branding, interview preparation, and salary negotiation.

THE LEADERSHIP PATHWAY

Leadership Development

6 MONTHS
For executives and corporate-sponsored leaders preparing for greater influence, presence, and impact. Deep pattern work, executive presence, and a Resiliency Toolbox that lasts beyond the engagement.
AUTHORITY AND VISIBILITY PATHWAY

Authority & Visibility

THE NEXT LAYER
Once you've done the inside work, build a name for yourself: personal brand positioning, visibility strategy, strategic network building, and authority content that demonstrates expertise.

FOR ORGANIZATIONS

Develop your high-potential leaders before they plateau, burn out, or walk out the door

When HR, a CEO, or a VP sponsors a high-potential leader, the conversation isn't about something being broken. It's about growth: developing executive presence, expanding influence, and preparing for the next level of leadership.

I partner with organizations through sponsored 1:1 coaching and corporate workshops, with sensitive handling of confidential information built into every engagement.

"As a leader, I've partnered with Lisa to bring her coaching to our high-potential leaders. The results speak for themselves: our team members are more confident, grounded, and prepared to lead."

KURT D., PRESIDENT

CLIENT RESULTS

They don't just perform better. They become different leaders entirely.

"You changed my life. I finally feel content and more fulfilled knowing what my true skills set is most aligned to as I have evolved and grown in my truly successful career. I truly loved the moment, through the value-mining exercise and the career assessment, that I finally found what was my true calling. It was you and your gift Lisa that made this happen- thank you."

DR. L · SURGEON, SPEAKER & CONSULTANT

"My life took a drastic turn for the better. I stopped wasting my time and started focusing on my mental clarity, health, family, and life goals. I cannot endorse her enough."

KURT · COO

"Coaching has had such an impact on my life and career. There was a point that I would have considered leaving my current role but after our work together, I could see the gifts and opportunities that were waiting for me. I got promoted to a C-Suite position that I only imagined."

SARA · COO, 4-YEAR CLIENT

"You help me see patterns I couldn't see. That awareness alone completely helped me become a more authentic and intentional leader."

CLIENT, LEADERSHIP PATHWAY

"If I didn't have my coach, my Lisa, I would have quit. She is beyond successful and she inspires me. There were many times I would question myself and my ability to grow into my new role, but with coaching, I was able to overcome my imposter syndrome, and now I am managing diverse departments with many team members that allow me to do what I do best, help them grow."

MARIA · DIRECTOR OF REVENUE CYCLE

"I landed the exact role I was hoping for. Personally and professionally, I feel more aligned and grounded than ever."

DR. MICHAEL · SURGEON & CONSULTANT

Ready to stand in your brilliance?

The question isn't whether you can afford to invest in yourself. It's what staying stuck is costing you.
