#254 The First Six Months as CEO, with Lisa Lynch

Six months ago, Lisa Lynch walked in the door as the inaugural CEO of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. Forensic pathology. Death investigation. Tissue banking. A whole new area of health for Lisa, and she said yes on the very first phone call."

Having Lisa back on the podcast is always a joy, and this might be my favourite of all our conversations.

Lisa takes us inside her first six months as CEO. The goodbye email she sent on her last Friday. The stakeholder she forgot to put on her list (she laughs about it now). The corridor comment that had six people working on it before she got back to her desk. And the moment she calls the bravest of the whole journey.

Lisa is CEO of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, a board member of Women's Health Victoria and a member of the Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and Morbidity.

Why you should listen: If there's a CEO role in your future, hear this before you get there. Honest, funny and full of hope. You might be more ready than you feel.
