Meet Lisa

I didn't start over.
I started from experience.

Lisa J. Haynes is an author, speaker, certified executive and retirement coach, and Chief Reinvention Officer of Haynes Executive Solutions.

Before retiring from her corporate role as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Lisa spent more than 30 years helping organizations and leaders navigate high-stakes change. Now she uses that experience to help others move into what's next with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Her approach is practical, encouraging, faith-rooted, and refreshingly honest: reinvention isn't about becoming someone new. It's about making intentional use of who you already are.
