Keynote Speaker | Thought Leader | Visionary | Integrative Coach
Bio
Dr. Lisa Yeung is a physician and medical director turned Integrative Coach and speaker. Her unconventional path has been shaped by her personal journey of self-discovery and healing through the various life challenges she has risen above.
Growing up in an all-white neighborhood, helping her Chinese immigrant parents at their restaurant, Lisa faced bullying, racism, poverty, abuse, and trauma. Not only did she transform these early challenges into strength, resilience, and determination, she also channeled them into a relentless work ethic that propelled her to achieve highly at every level.
Lisa was the first in her family to attend college and a National Merit Scholar who graduated from a top medical school. During her residency training, Lisa was faced with a series of unexpected life challenges, including being diagnosed with a rare medical condition. Despite this, she continued to prioritize hard work, achievement and others’ needs over her own…until she eventually found herself completely depleted and burned out. Realizing that something needed to change, Lisa embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal development that led to a deep healing and changed her life forever.
While serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the nation’s youngest medical directors, Lisa realized the power of the wisdom, skills and experience she gained from her personal transformation. Not only did they enable her to be a more effective and powerful leader, she also used them to help support and guide her patients, colleagues and staff through the global crisis. Feeling called to share her unique experience and expertise, Lisa left conventional medicine to make an even bigger difference in the world.
Now, Lisa uses her unique skillset and expertise to help leaders and organizations all over the world through her speaking, training programs and coaching. Her innovative approach integrates conventional and alternative modalities and bridges the scientific and spiritual worlds to get to the root of challenges keeping people stuck and preventing them from achieving their greatest potential and experiencing optimal wellness. Lisa’s proprietary frameworks and approaches have helped countless leaders step into their truest selves and highest purpose, enabling them to live their best lives and leave a lasting impact on the world.
