About Lizette Warner, Ph.D.

As a biomedical scientist turned executive coach, I’ve spent my career translating cutting-edge brain science into practical tools for leaders.

 

My clients, from multinational executives to Partners, don’t just ‘feel better,’ they deliver stronger results, build influence faster, and sustain success without burning out.

They benefit from my dedication to advancing the coaching profession as an instructor at UT Dallas in the Naveen Jindal School of Management, Executive Coaching.

🚀 How It Started…

I’ve spent two decades in leadership and coaching, serving executives at multinational corporations, Partners, and leaders in sectors from finance to healthcare.

My background as a biomedical scientist gives me a rare lens: I understand the biology of stress and performance, and I know how to help leaders rewire for clarity, influence, and resilience.

I’m also the author of Power, Poise & Presence, a TEDx speaker, and Chief Coaching Officer at Trust & Leadership Coaching, where we steward some of the world’s boldest leadership development programs.

💼 What I Do Now

As a biomedical scientist turned executive coach, I translate cutting-edge neuroscience into practical and performance oriented tools leaders can use in real time:

  • Decision-making clarity under pressure

  • Presence and influence in high-stakes rooms

  • Burnout-proof habits that scale with you and your team

 

In short: I don’t just coach skills. I coach the state you’re leading from, because neuroscience shows your nervous system is your true leadership operating system.

I'm also a believer in tracking performance because you can only improve when you're measuring what you want to improve.

🎓 Where I Teach

I’m a proud faculty member at the University of Texas at Dallas, where I teach in the Executive Coaching Program. I specialize in courses on Business building, Ethics and the Neuroscience of high performance.

I also speak on topics like:

  • Coaching with Presence

  • Business Scaling Without Burnout

  • Smart Rewiring™ How You Show Up (based on my TEDx talk)

 

I've also created and teach the Executive Readiness Profile™, used to evaluate and enhance executive presence, emotional regulation, and strategic leadership behaviors in high-performing individuals for promotability.

📚 Resources to Grow With

I wrote Power, Poise and Presence to help leaders and coaches show up with clarity, confidence, and effectiveness.

I also curate tools, courses, and book recommendations I personally trust — see them here.

✨ My Promise

"I had worked with other coaches before, but the real issues were never being addressed. In less than a month, Lizette helped me identify the actual problems holding me back, and together we built a clear, trackable plan with actionable next steps. For the first time, I was able to make real progress,  fast."
— Chief Strategy Officer, Private Equity

Leadership at the top doesn’t get easier. But you can get sharper, more grounded, and more effective, without burning out.
