The picture-perfect social media posts that are snapped during our best moments on vacations or at events and then put on Instagram and Facebook don’t tell the real story of how many people feel: 75% of us are not living happy, satisfying lives. That may not surprise you, as you may be one of many who would like their life to change but aren’t quite sure how to do it. Instead of resigning yourself to life continuing on as always, however, you may want to check out Dr. Lisa Leit, PhD, MCC, an executive coach, management consultant, workshop leader, motivational keynote speaker, and coaching trainer whose clients are discovering that transformation, fulfillment, and inner peace await them through her program Happy Whole Human.

In an industry cluttered with coaches and motivational speakers all promising to change your life, Dr. Leit is one of the few that has broken free of the pack to be recognized for her contributions to the field and for her ability to help clients understand themselves better. She was honored as one of the 2021 Top Visionaries in Healthcare by the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare and was also named as a 2021 Top Female Life Coach in the U.S. by Yahoo Finance. Dr. Leit  is accredited by the International Coaching Federation in Coaching Training Programs and in Self-Hypnosis Mp3s. She has published Happy Whole Human Handbook and Conversational Narcissism in Marriage. Dr. Leit has worked with individuals, couples, families and leadership teams of organizations to overcome obstacles and live happy, whole lives for sixteen years.

Dr. Leit’s first program, Happy Whole Human (HWH), begins with the individual taking a 15-minute transformative self-assessment at www.happywholehuman.com. It is designed to identify and address both the 28 key dimensions of happiness and the hidden risk factors to health and to foster meaningful, measurable, and lasting results. It pinpoints where the individual is at present, identifies what is preventing them from achieving their goals, and provides them with the guidance they need to get there. The assessment is based on Dr. Leit’s doctoral research on interpersonal psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and work with 2,000+ clients and students. Once the results are received, the individual can review them for fifteen minutes with an HWH coach, learn more about how to obtain happiness through ecourses and affirmations, and benefit from three virtual coaching sessions with Dr. Leit. These sessions lead to a powerful transformation for the individual in only 45 days; when individuals retake the assessment and compare the results, they are often astonished at the difference they see in themselves.

Happy Whole Human (for businesses) is the solution for companies whose employees are disengaged. Developed over seven years, the program is scientifically validated and evidence based, allowing corporate leadership to objectively and reliably measure employee wellness and improve it. It has a confidential employee self-assessment and corresponding program. Companies (including Whole Foods Market, Texas Monthly,  and SolarWinds) receive aggregate reports that provide a snapshot of the health of their employees. Businesses can give their employees invaluable feedback on areas of strength and opportunities for improvement while also providing leadership. HWH then works with them to stage targeted interventions that yield measurable, lasting results. The program ultimately allows the company to track the overall health, well-being, and efficiency of its employees. The program is an excellent mix of data and humanity, helping executive teams create a more vibrant and productive workforce in less than 90 days.

Happy Whole Human Institute of Holistic Wellness, founded in 2013, offers accredited programs that prepare students for lucrative and rewarding careers in facilitating transformation in others. Students learn to create interactive, confidential healing spaces of unconditional acceptance. The program is highly regarded for its practical, evidence-based tools and techniques that help clients to conquer their fears, get out of their own way, and learn to live lives of radiance, happiness, and fulfillment. Offerings include a 326-hour, approved, coach-specific training program accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Students may also enroll in coaching mentorships as well as the 210-hour Happy Whole Human holistic wellness coach certification program training, which includes hypnosis certification training and is accredited by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE). The 40-hour Level 7 Relationship Coaching/Mediation certification training taught by HWH Institute Faculty Membre and HWH Certified Executive Coach Angela Gohokar and Dr. Leit. The Level 7 training meets all requirements for mediation (conflict resolution) training in all U.S. states. Further training and mentorship is also available from HWH Institute faculty members Dr. Justin James Kennedy, Executive Coach and Professor of Applied Neuroscience, and Executive and Leadership Coach Paulette Rao, MCC, BCC.

The results of Happy Whole Human prove that people can change. In one study with the Validation Institute, after nine weeks, participants who took the assessment and attended weekly workshops reported a 34% improvement in emotional wellness, a 23% improvement in overall life satisfaction, and an 18% improvement in well-being and overall health. Both the numbers and the source are important because, as Al Lewis states in his book Why No One Believes the Numbers, 90% of wellness programs may be doing more harm than good. With flawed or nonexistent means of measurement and spurious claims that are not delivered on, the public has grown skeptical of programs that claim to help participants find happiness. However, a good report from the Validation Institute empowers purchasers to buy with confidence. The validation process is rigorous and requires an expert review of the company’s intervention, data sources, and outcome measure. Anyone who buys services from the Dr. Leit and the Happy Whole Human can do so knowing they will receive what they expect: a way to transform their life and feel increasingly radiant. 

While the outcome of joining any of Dr. Leit’s Happy Whole Human programs will vary depending on the person, each will learn to be mindful enough to separate themselves from their emotions and to manage their stress and feelings effectively. They will reconnect with their families and friends while keeping a stronger sense of who they are as individuals. They will attain what so many of us desire but do not have: balanced health, clarity of purpose, and understanding of what makes them unique, talented people with much to give the world around them.
