When a dyad pulls in two directions, or a change nobody bought into stalls, the work below it stops moving. Lisa works with the teams, dyads and leaders who run health systems, helping them hear each other and move again. The work is facilitation, the conversation a group cannot hold on its own. For one-to-one coaching, see the coaching page.
Lisa Belisle is a physician executive and consultant. She works with health systems, medical groups, leadership teams, and boards on the problems physician leaders own: medical leadership, team and dyad alignment, AI governance in clinical settings, and virtual-care strategy. She has directed primary care service lines, been medical director of a virtual-first primary and urgent care company and sat on the board of an accountable care organization. On the senior leadership team of one of Maine’s largest health systems, she led virtual care transformation as Associate Chief Medical Officer. She holds a PhD in Leadership Studies and builds AI tools herself. Every engagement draws on work she has done.

Coaching runs as a set series with a clear beginning and end. Team facilitation and strategy work run as projects. Each engagement sets out the work, the time, and the cost up front. Engagements are scoped individually.
Lisa is a collaborative and inclusive leader with a rare ability to engage people with different perspectives: physicians, executives, and clinical care teams. She is an exceptional communicator who brings people together to build a shared vision.

A consistent quality I saw in Dr. Belisle was a rigorous, people-centered approach to any project she leads: an insistence on understanding how systems actually function for the people within them, not just how they are meant to function on paper. I can easily see her at the forefront of efforts to reshape our healthcare system.
