Yashica Lind

Top resource for leaders in healthcare that want to make an impact and lead powerfully- in both thei I'm the founder and CEO of The Lind Group.

The Lind Group specializes in developing better leaders in healthcare as well as consulting with healthcare organizations to improve operations and dramatically improve outcomes. As a mentor and coach of top leaders around the world, I have a proven system to help you learn to lead life from what I call your POWERPLACE. This helps you find time in your life for the things that you want to do as w

ell as the things you have to do. This leads to more peace, less stress, more fulfillment, and overall, more positive experiences in your personal and professional life. With almost 20 years in leadership (Navy and Nursing), what I find is that most coaching and training for women in healthcare is aimed at strategies and techniques that fix the symptom but don’t get to the heart of the problem. This means that you take another class on the tasks to get the job done but totally glance over the root cause of what is causing the frustration and burnout-- The lack of a true connection to your power, your intuition, your confidence, and your strengths. If you aren’t on point, it doesn’t matter what you do, you are not going to be able to show up for the people you care about most and perform your job to your potential and do it in an easier way. I'm on a mission to change that, and hope you'll join me!

🌟SERVICES OFFERED:

- Leadership development and training

- Keynote speaking & team training

🌟MY QUALIFICATIONS:

As an healthcare executive, certified coach, consultant, and corporate trainer, I coach women in healthcare leadership who are ready to overcome the feeling of being swamped and exhausted and take control of their life. With an extensive background in leadership & sales, I’ve been a top leader in all positions:

- Wartime Veteran with extensive leadership experience in the US Navy
-Healthcare Consulting for some of the largest non-profit healthcare organizations in the US
- Executive leadership experience in one of the largest healthcare organizations in the world
- Degrees in Psychology, Nursing, Masters in Leadership and MBA
- Running my own successful coaching business for a decade

I’ve helped thousands of women (and men) learn valuable scientific and spiritual tools that have allowed them to stop feeling like they were on a hamster wheel, trying to do all the things on limited time, and help them break the cycle of chasing happiness or break free from limits.... All of which leads to exhaustion and frustration. My system teaches you another way where you don’t have to feel like you need to show up perfect in life, never making a mistake, and feeling like life is falling through the cracks.I show you that there is a way for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself without feeling guilty or feeling like a failure. It is possible to tap into feeling happy and satisfied and still perform well in your personal and professional life and it’s about getting to the heart of the matter. I’ve been fortunate not only in my coaching and consulting, but I’ve also hosted a top ranked podcast, facilitated trainings all over the world, and developed Doctors, Directors, Nurses, Administrators, Executive leaders and more.

I’ve been in deep build mode lately—client systems, proposals, leadership restructuring, all of it.

But I’ll tell you what keeps showing up across the board:

🚫 Burned out staff trying to serve families in broken systems

🚫 Leaders forced to choose between compliance and connection

🚫 Organizations that care deeply but lack the operational backbone to scale that care

We’ve been helping teams redesign from the inside out—structure, service, training, and leadership all working as one. Because "customer experience" doesn’t start with families—it starts with how you treat your team.

If you're building something real, you can’t fake the foundation.

Current status: coffee, clarity, and cracking open the next layer of impact. ☕

Here’s to the teams doing hard, meaningful work—and the leaders clearing the path for them.

📢 There’s a leadership crisis no one’s talking about—because too many people are too afraid to.

It’s not burnout.

It’s not turnover.

It’s not even toxic culture.

It’s silence.

The kind of silence that keeps healthcare leaders quiet when they’re overwhelmed.

When they see dysfunction but fear retaliation.

When they know the system is broken—but speaking up might cost them their job, their influence, or their sanity.

This silence isn’t just dangerous.

It’s deadly.

It kills innovation.

It erodes trust.

It keeps bold ideas buried under the pressure to conform, perform, and “keep the peace.”

Zeev Neuwirth, MD and I had a raw, unfiltered conversation about this epidemic of silence in healthcare leadership—and why it’s time to break it.

No spin. No fluff. Just truth.

If you’re a leader who’s been watching the system unravel in silence…

Or you’ve been carrying things you can’t say out loud…

You need to hear this.

👉 Then tell me in the comments: What’s one thing you wish more leaders in healthcare had the courage to say out loud?

Let’s crack this open. Also, make sure you follow Zeev Neuwirth, MD and support Dr Neuwirth and other leaders that are willing to push the boundaries of the current CRISIS state of leadership.

Burnout Isn’t the Problem. It’s the Warning Sign You Keep Ignoring.

You’re not exhausted because you work too much.
You’re exhausted because your life no longer fits.
Not your calendar.
Not your leadership style.
Not the version of you you've had to perform to hold it all together.

💣 You keep blaming the workload—
but it’s the role-play that’s burning you out.

👉🏾 Smiling in meetings when you haven’t felt joy in months.
👉🏾 Carrying everyone else’s stress like it’s part of your job description.
👉🏾 Shrinking your voice to “keep the peace.”

And the craziest part?

You’re so good at pretending to be fine… no one even knows you’re drowning.

But you know.

The good news?

You don’t need another planner or productivity app.
You need a reset—before this performance costs you more than you’re willing to pay.

I wrote something for the leaders who know they can’t keep leading like this:
“Burnout Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Symptom of a Life That No Longer Fits.”

Inside, I’ll show you why high-achieving leaders are burning out even when they love their job—and what to do when the life you built starts feeling like a trap.

Burnout is killing leadership—and no one’s talking about the real reason.

It’s not because people are lazy.

It’s not because you need another productivity app.

And it’s definitely not because you’re “bad at time management.”

Burnout is a leadership design problem.

And it’s destroying clarity, strategy, and retention from the inside out.

Over the last few months, I’ve been quietly testing something with clients—

A simple 15-minute reset that’s helped high-performing leaders stop firefighting and finally reclaim control.

The results?

-More space to think

-Less reactive chaos

-Clearer priorities by Monday morning

And now—I’m sharing it with you.

🎯 The Leadership Performance Reset Tool

Free. Fast. And honestly? It’s been a game-changer.

If you’re a leader (or you support leaders), please:

💬 Drop a 🔥 if burnout is rampant in your org

🔁 Share this post with someone who needs to reset

📥 Download the tool & pass it to someone in survival mode

Let’s stop pretending this is “just how it is.”

Burnout isn’t inevitable.

It’s just what happens when we don’t design leadership differently.

This tool is a new start.

The Comeback Is Quiet

Burnout doesn’t end with a grand epiphany.

It ends with small, quiet decisions that bring you back to yourself.

🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 Saying “no” to something you always felt obligated to say yes to

📝 Canceling the meeting that never should’ve been on your calendar

🛑 Taking a walk instead of answering one more “urgent” message

🤫 Giving yourself permission to feel the thing you’ve been pushing down

It’s not always pretty.

But it’s the beginning of your return.

Because real leadership isn’t loud.

It’s not performative.

It’s not about holding it all together while you fall apart privately.

It’s about building a version of leadership that honors your capacity—and lets you breathe again.

And when that shift happens?

Your energy comes back.

Your vision sharpens.

Your presence becomes magnetic again.

Not because you tried harder.

But because you finally stopped abandoning yourself to do the job.

You don’t have to break down to reset.

Sometimes you just need to start listening.

👉🏾 What’s one quiet decision you’ve made lately that felt like a comeback?

Share it below—or message me if you’re still figuring that moment out.

If You’re Burned Out, It’s Time to Stop Looking at Your Calendar—and Start Looking at Your Life.

Let’s stop pretending burnout only happens because of deadlines and Zoom fatigue.

Some of you are burned out because your life is on fire.

– You’re stuck in a relationship that’s draining you

– You keep saying yes when you mean no

– You’re carrying your entire family’s emotional load

– You’re performing a version of “leader” that isn’t even you

And then Monday rolls around.

And you think it’s the job.

But the job is just where your exhaustion shows up.

No time block will fix this.

No meditation app is going to rewire the part of you that’s been trained to abandon yourself in the name of being responsible.

If you’re waking up today already tired—

Already behind—

Already disconnected from the version of you that used to feel powerful—

It’s not because you’re lazy.

It’s because you’ve been surviving. And survival is exhausting.

Burnout recovery doesn’t start with a new planner.

It starts with radical honesty about the life you’re leading.

And whether it’s still working for you.

This isn’t light work.

But it’s the kind of work that gives you your power back.

If this post hit a little too close to home, you’re not broken—

but you might be out of alignment.

Take 5 quiet minutes today and ask yourself:

👉🏾 “Where in my life have I been betraying myself just to keep the peace or keep things running?”

You’ll know the answer.

This is the work I do with leaders all the time—helping them get honest, get aligned, and lead from a place that actually feels sustainable.

If you want something to help you sort through the noise, DM me “alignment” and I’ll send you a tool I use with my clients.

You don’t have to lead like this anymore.

You’re Not a Firefighter. You’re a Leader. But It’s Starting to Feel the Same.

There was a season where I kept telling myself:

“It’ll slow down soon.”

The meetings.

The fires.

The constant emails and last-minute "asks."

But it never did.

Because I wasn’t leading—I was reacting.

And maybe you’ve felt this too:

-Fixing broken workflows instead of building strategy

-Jumping into every problem because it’s “quicker” than coaching your team

-Feeling like you can’t step away because everything might fall apart

You end up doing work that doesn’t belong to you.

You run your entire day on adrenaline.

And little by little—you start to lose the actual leadership you were hired to deliver.

No space to think.

No time to mentor.

No energy to innovate.

👉 That’s not leadership.

That’s firefighting.

And it burns out your team, your culture, and your future.

Here’s what I had to learn (the hard way):

-The fix isn’t working faster.

-The fix is rebuilding the system that keeps lighting the fires in the first place.

I help healthcare leaders make that shift—without the guilt, the burnout, or the chaos.

Because firefighting isn’t sustainable. And it’s definitely not leadership.

If you saw yourself in this post, you’re not alone.

The Burnout Symptom No One Talks About (But It’s Killing Your Leadership)

Most burnout advice tells leaders to “watch for exhaustion.”

But exhaustion isn’t the first sign—it’s the last.

The real first sign of burnout?

Resentment.

❌ That moment when you start resenting your team for needing too much from you.

❌ When you roll your eyes at another “urgent” request.

❌ When you feel irritated at people you used to enjoy leading.

❌ When you dread meetings because they feel like one more demand you can’t handle.

This is when burnout sinks its teeth in.

And if you don’t recognize it, here’s what happens next:

You start leading with frustration instead of strategy.

Your best people notice—and they disengage.

Retention drops because people don’t leave companies—they leave leaders.

Here’s the truth: Resentment isn’t about your team—it’s about your capacity.

It’s a sign that your leadership energy is maxed out.

The solution isn’t “toughing it out”—it’s learning to:

✔️ Delegate without guilt

✔️ Create better boundaries without breaking trust

✔️ Shift from reactive leadership to intentional leadership

By the time you’re exhausted, burnout has already cost you clarity, impact, and retention.

The question is: Are you catching it early enough to stop the damage?

The Hidden Cost of Leadership Burnout (That No One’s Talking About)

Most leaders treat burnout like a personal issue. Something to be managed with better self-care, a vacation, or maybe a mindfulness app.

But here’s the hard truth: Burnout isn’t just a personal problem—it’s a business liability.

And it’s costing your organization way more than you think.

When leaders burn out, teams follow.

Decision-making slows down—or worse, becomes reactive and short-sighted.

Morale plummets as burned-out leaders lose the energy to engage, coach, and inspire.

High performers see the writing on the wall and start looking for an exit.

End result? More turnover, more instability, and a workforce that’s disengaged before they ever walk out the door.

The most dangerous part? Most leadership burnout is preventable. But organizations don’t track it—until it’s too late.

Have you experienced leadership burnout firsthand? How did it impact your team? Drop a comment below. Let’s talk about it. ⬇️

02/28/2025

Let’s be real—no one talks about what leadership really feels like.

On the outside, high-performing leaders look unstoppable.

✔ They’re the ones who get things done.

✔ They set the standard for excellence.

✔ They’re the ones everyone relies on.

But behind closed doors?

❌ They’re exhausted from holding everything together.

❌ They second-guess themselves, wondering if they’re even making an impact.

❌ They feel like they can’t slow down—because if they do, everything might fall apart.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Why Do High Performers Burn Out First?

Because they care. A lot.

They take on too much—not because they want to, but because no one else steps up.

They’re stretched too thin—balancing patient care, budgets, and team morale with no room to breathe.

They’ve been conditioned to believe that slowing down = failing.

And over time?

- Passion turns into pressure.

- Drive turns into depletion.

- Confidence fades into self-doubt.

Here’s the truth: The most dangerous burnout isn’t the obvious kind—it’s the silent kind.

The kind where leaders keep showing up, keep delivering, keep achieving… until they quietly check out.

High-Performance Leadership Shouldn’t Feel Like a Losing Battle.

If you’re constantly running on empty, it’s time for a shift:

Stop wearing burnout as a badge of honor. Overwork isn’t a leadership strategy—it’s a warning sign.

Shift from doing to leading. High-performing leaders don’t do everything—they develop teams that can sustain success.

Ask for help before you hit the breaking point. Leadership shouldn’t be isolating.

Let’s Talk: Have You Ever Felt This?

Have you ever reached a point where leadership felt more draining than fulfilling? What helped you shift out of it?

📅 If you’re tired of leading on empty and you want to work with a coach that understands, let’s talk: https://www.yashicalind.com/freeconsult

What’s the Cost of Staying in a Job That’s Draining You?

I used to think that if I just pushed through, things would get better.

That if I stayed in the role that looked good on paper, eventually, I’d feel fulfilled.

That if I just worked harder, I could fix what was broken.

I was wrong.

Because here’s what I learned the hard way:

When you stay in a leadership role that’s draining you, you don’t just lose energy—you lose clarity.

〰️ You stop seeing solutions.

〰️ You stop trusting yourself.

〰️ You wake up one day wondering how you got here and whether you even recognize yourself anymore.

And yet, so many leaders stay.

〰️ They stay because the title is prestigious.

〰️ They stay because the paycheck is good.

〰️ They stay because walking away feels like failure.

But let’s flip that:

💡 What if staying where you’re not meant to be is the real failure?

Because every time I’ve walked away from something misaligned—whether it was a leadership position, a team, or an opportunity that didn’t feel right—something better always came next.

〰️ A new role where I could lead without burning out.

〰️ A team that actually valued my vision.

〰️ A career that felt like mine—not something I was forcing myself into.

And I see this in my work every day. Leaders who are drained. Frustrated. Running on empty. Not because they’re bad at their jobs, but because they’re in the wrong place—or leading the wrong way.

So let me ask you:

Have you ever stayed in a leadership role longer than you should have? What did it cost you?

Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear your experience.

Psychological Safety Isn’t a Buzzword—It’s the Leadership Advantage You Can’t Ignore

I see a lot of talk about psychological safety in leadership circles. But let’s be real—most leaders aren’t actually fostering it.

They say they want engaged teams.

They say they want people to speak up.

They say they value innovation and problem-solving.

But then? Employees stay silent. High performers walk. Problems go unresolved.

If your team isn’t speaking up, you don’t have an engagement problem—you have a leadership problem.

When employees don’t feel safe to challenge, take risks, or voice concerns, the impact is massive:

❌ Turnover skyrockets. People leave—not for money, but because they’re unheard.

❌ Innovation dies. Teams play it safe instead of solving real problems.

❌ Accountability erodes. People avoid risks, fearing blame more than failure.

This isn’t just a morale issue—it’s a leadership issue that’s costing you money, credibility, and talent.

If People Aren’t Speaking Up, It’s a Leadership Problem

A quiet team isn’t an unopinionated team.

If no one’s raising concerns, they’ve learned it’s not worth it.

When leaders fail to create psychological safety, trust erodes, retention tanks, and decision-making slows.

How to Build Psychological Safety—Without Lowering Standards

✅ Ditch the “Perfect Answer” Culture.

If people think they need the “right” answer before speaking up, you’re losing valuable insights.

✅ Reward Ownership, Not Just Results.

Create a culture where mistakes are caught early and fixed fast. Stop punishing failure—start celebrating accountability.

✅ Lead By Example.

Admit when you’re wrong, acknowledge blind spots, and show your team that growth is valued over perfection.

The Leadership Litmus Test: Do Your People Trust You?

Ask yourself:

➡ Do they challenge ideas, or just nod along?

➡ Do they bring problems AND solutions, or avoid tough conversations?

➡ Are your best people engaged—or quietly looking for the exit?

A lack of psychological safety isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive.

You don’t fix it with another survey.

You don’t fix it by telling people they have a “safe space.”

You fix it by proving it—every single day.

If you’re ready to build a culture where people speak up, contribute, and actually want to stay, let’s talk.
