Lisa Vescio, Business Coach And Stress-management Expert

Entrepreneur Lisa Vescio is a qualified mental-health professional. She has more than 19 years of experience in mental health and 12 years as a company founder and managing director.

I have a lifelong passion for bringing out the best in people, encouraging them to discover the life balance that is right for them. I draw on my mental health qualifications expertise and experience, to coach and mentor directors and business owners, helping them remove the underlying causes of stress and burnout. They can then find the equilibrium they need to move their business and working lives to the next level. I’ve always had a passion for helping people and in 2006 founded Milestones Hospital. This is an innovative and independent mental health hospital in Norfolk and is designed to help women patients feel autonomous and valued, treating them with respect, dignity and sensitivity.

Stress and burn-out made me decide to resign as managing director at Milestones in 2018. I needed to rest and recover and made the decision to return to my hometown in the North East. Stress is a real entity and, if not managed early, can be a destructive illness. As a high performing individual myself, I failed to acknowledge the symptoms initially. I just continued running on empty – until one day I crashed. Once I had returned to the North East, I felt regenerated and inspired.

I have taken time out to fully recover and now have a drive and passion to use my skills to help people.

I truly believe that my own experience of recovery, coupled with my mental health knowledge, skills and training plus my entrepreneurial background make me uniquely positioned to help others be the best that they can be in work and business.

Since January 2019 I have been working as solopreneur, combining my tool kit of crucial skills developed over the years, designed to help, heal and inspire others. As well as my professional qualifications in mental health, I am also a master coach, clinical hypnotherapist, havening, NLP, psych-k and reiki practitioner. If I had found the help I needed earlier, I would have avoided the turmoil of the past few years. I have a passion for coaching, helping and inspiring people and want to use my skills and experience to help people manage their stresses so that they don’t have the same experience. With the right help, lives can be made so much easier and brighter. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to burnout, where mental and emotional strength are exhausted. This can have a significant impact on physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Left unresolved, it can ultimately lead to long term consequences such as disease, family breakdowns, loss of employment and financial instability.

Many people suffer in silence and try to carry on without asking for support. High achievers, leaders and business owners are the worst culprits for not identifying stress. They often fear the consequences of acknowledging it, wondering what will happen to their business if they try to deal with it. I take a good look how this denial presents itself in my eBook available to down load from my website home page.

Ignoring stress symptoms can take a heavy toll on your health and your business.

Over the coming months I will be talking about what happens if you ignore stress and providing strategies to manage stress and overwhelm – for yourself and your organisation.
