Episode Title: Elevating Women’s Leadership: Humanity, Power & Purpose at the Table

What better way to round out International Women's Month than with this powerful and thought-provoking episode of LYLTalks, hosted by bestselling author Lisa Anna Palmer, a.k.a. The VP Coach, and featuring Solange Tuyishime Kieta—Pageant Queen, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, global influencer, and CEO of Elevate International—for a conversation that is as emotionally resonant as it is strategically insightful.

Why Executives Should Listen:

This isn't just another discussion about leadership. It’s a candid exploration of how heart-inspired leadership, emotional intelligence, and inclusive decision-making are not soft skills—they’re critical capabilities for sustainable success for everyone.

Solange shares her journey from surviving genocide at age 11 and experiencing the loss of a child as a mother to shaping global change as a resilient, visionary leader. Her lived experience and global impact initiatives offer senior leaders a compelling case for why diversity in leadership isn’t just ethical—it is essential. She also shares her inspiring vision for Elevate International.

This episode is designed to challenge and inspire executives to lead differently—and more effectively by creating safe spaces for women—thereby creating safe spaces for everyone. Discover how to build inclusive leadership tables, sponsor emerging talent, and champion a leadership model grounded in humanity, not hierarchy.

Listen now and join a movement that redefines power, purpose, and performance in modern leadership.

S5: E5 - Sick at Work: Unlocking The Hidden Effects of Neuroplastic Illness with Dr. David D. Clarke

Season 5 · Episode 5

Sunday, February 2, 2025 • Duration 43:56

Text us, we'd love to hear from you! (Note if you would like a reply, please include your email or cell # within the message)

Executive Coach and Author Lisa Anna Palmer—known in leadership circles as The VP Coach and Founder of Light Your Leadership, Inc.—returns with another episode of LYLTalks, covering pressing issues for leaders.

In this instalment, she cuts through the fluff to tackle a topic that hits home for every leader, and they don't even know it: the hidden impact of neuroplastic symptoms on people at work. With over 30 years of hard-won experience in leadership coaching—and a personal history marked by burnout and fibromyalgia—Lisa brings a rare blend of candor and insight to the conversation.

Sitting down with Dr. David D. Clarke, President and Co-Founder of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), Lisa and her world renowned guest expert dive straight into the reality that stress and trauma—whether rooted in childhood adversity or the relentless pace of modern work—can literally cause our brain to create intense pain and serious illness in our bodies.

Dr. Clarke, a true pioneer whose groundbreaking work has helped thousands break free from chronic, stress-and trauma-induced ailments, lays out the science behind the pain and reveals innovative treatment approaches. From the latest randomized controlled trials to the transformative power of pain relief psychology, he shows us that rethinking our relationship with stress isn’t just a feel-good exercise—it’s a strategic necessity.

Together, they get into the nitty-gritty of what it means to lead well in today’s high-pressure environments. They discuss how to recognize the warning signs, the importance of setting firm and healthy boundaries to avoid burn-out, and share insights on how we develop perfectionism and that often drives high performers to burnout. More importantly, they outline actionable strategies for spotting and supporting employees who are silently suffering, paving the way for workplaces that value genuine well-being alongside performance.

This conversation is a wake-up call—a chance for every leader to transform hidden challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience. It’s about keeping the fire in your heart burning bright and leading with both strength and sensitivity.
