  • EP: 52: Feminine Leadership and Leading with Impact, Lis Best - Impact Coach & Consultant

    Meet Lis:

    Lis Best is an executive coach for women in the impact space, founder of the Girls Club mastermind, and host of the Women Changing the World podcast. In my 10+ years in the corporate sustainability world, I watched two things happen: one, I saw amazing woman after amazing woman land her dream job and completely burn herself out (spoiler alert: this happened to me, too). And two, I saw time and time again that the impact that companies were having on the world wasn't dictated by what they "should" be doing - it was dictated by how effective a change agent the person leading their program was.

    In early 2020 (right before the pandemic), I took the leap and started my own coaching and consulting business to help other women make their sustainability careers more personally sustainable by leading with mindfulness and moxie. I have helped hundreds of women launch impact-focused businesses, land and excel in their dream jobs, and polish their personal brands until they sparkle.
