Evidence-Based Psychological Insight for Leaders Who Take Performance Seriously.
In high-pressure boardrooms and male-dominated industries, the real cost of burnout rarely shows up on a balance sheet until it's already impacting retention, decision-making, and culture - even though the commercial case for acting early is well documented: Deloitte's analysis of workplace mental health interventions finds employers typically see a return of £5 for every £1 invested in reduced absence, lower staff turnover, and higher productivity.
I am Rebecca Lisi (MA MBACP) - a psychotherapist, workplace psychology specialist, and one of the UK's leading corporate wellbeing speakers. I bridge the gap between clinical psychology and business strategy, translating neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and attachment theory into actionable frameworks for leadership teams, MDs, and HR procurement leads.
Whether you are hosting a leadership event, an industry conference, or a targeted executive workshop, my keynotes are designed to hold a room of senior decision-makers - delivering clinical authority with the presence of a highly-trained professional.
Why Traditional Wellbeing Initiatives Fail High-Performing Teams
Too many corporate wellbeing programmes rely on surface-level interventions: wellness apps, mindfulness reminders, and awareness posters that tick a box but fail to change culture.
For high-performing professionals and male-dominated leadership teams, stress doesn't look like quiet withdrawal. It looks like irritability, overworking, hyper-vigilance, and emotional shutdown - and the cost of getting it wrong is significant: the psychological cost of chronic stress and presenteeism is estimated at £43–46 billion per year to UK employers across absence, staff turnover, and lost productivity.
My keynotes and workshops move past the wellness cliché. Every programme is CPD-accredited, grounded in the science of the human nervous system, and built specifically for leaders who need practical, scalable tools to protect their most critical asset: their people. This isn't a one-size-fits-all talk - each engagement is bespoke to your organisation, tailored to your industry, your people, and the specific pressures your leadership team is facing on the ground.
Every keynote and workshop is crafted around your organisation - shaped by your industry, your commercial context, and the specific pressures your leadership team is facing. Delivered as a keynote, an immersive workshop, or an ongoing retainer partnership.
