#165 Lisa Lynch - Putting my Oxygen Mask on first

Brave Feminine Leadership

Lisa Lynch, Chief Operating Officer of the Royal Women’s Hospital, shares her journey from clinician to executive leader. Lisa has a deep passion to redress the disadvantages and discrimination that affect women's access to high-quality health. Her deliberate and intentional focus is making a significant influence and deep impact. As a lifelong learner, Lisa delves into how "caring for the carer" has always been the guiding principle in her leadership, and how she forgot to put her own oxygen mask on as she led through the COVID-19 pandemic. Lisa is a delightfully self-aware leader who is deliberate about seeking feedback and has learnt to focus her energy on where she can make a difference. I am personally delighted to hear Lisa share her aspiration to be a CEO. We need more courageous and considered leaders like her. Lisa also discusses how she heard how our program played a supporting role in her putting her own oxygen mask back on.
