Cara Lenz

Cara is a leadership and wellbeing expert with 25 years of experience in HR, organizational performance, and employee engagement. She has been called a “thoughtful and inspiring coach” and is known for creating and implementing world-class programs to develop, engage, and retain great talent in leading organizations—from Apple and Best Buy to cutting-edge start-ups and family-owned businesses.

After facing a health crisis and a burnout-wired work culture, Cara made a bold decision to leave it all behind and “escape” to a Caribbean island in search of her health. What she discovered was that true wellbeing doesn't come from a new job, relationship, or vacation—it’s something you build from the inside out.

Today, Cara is a coach, keynote speaker, and consultant who teaches wellbeing as a skill set. She uses her proprietary process, The 5 Inquiries—based on findings from neuroscience and psychology—to help individuals reclaim their health and help leaders create cultures where both people and business thrive. Because no one should have to choose between their wellbeing and their work.

She now splits her time between Minneapolis and Roatán, Honduras, where she continues to live the wellbeing practices she teaches.
