3 Steps to Cultivate Resilience & Retention: How to Navigate High-Functioning Anxiety in Leadership

·14 min

Dr. Lisa Hartwell, a Hawaii-licensed clinical psychologist and anxiety coach, discusses high-functioning anxiety in high-achieving professionals, particularly those in victim services and criminal justice. She introduces her workshop 'Cultivating Resilience and Retention' being presented at the National Center for Victims of Crime Conference in Portland. Using the case of 'Sasha,' a polished but internally anxious professional, she illustrates the swan metaphor - calm exterior masking furious hidden activity. Dr. Hartwell reframes high-functioning anxiety as a powerful alert system rather than pathology and introduces her three-step sleep optimization process and upcoming leadership coaching program for managing burnout.
