Most reinvention stories start with something breaking. What happens when you reinvent after you've already succeeded?
Former CFO Lisa Haynes joins Sana to unpack how to take a bold step without every detail figured out, and why fear rarely looks as big once you name it.
About the Guest:
Lisa Haynes is a former CFO, certified executive and retirement coach, author and speaker. After decades of leadership, she retired and reinvented, building a new chapter around coaching and writing. Her book is You've Got This: Reinvention with Intention.
Key Takeaways:
- Reinvention doesn't have to wait for a crisis. You can build a new chapter while you still hold your current one.
- Ask what's the worst that could happen, then ask if you could recover from it. That's boldness versus recklessness.
- Most reinvention isn't built from nothing. It's built on skills you already have, hiding just outside your comfortable box.
- Older reinventors often detach from a title. Younger ones weigh a future they haven't built yet. Both are real tradeoffs.
- If you'd do something for free, that's usually where your next chapter is quietly waiting.
