Lizz Bacon is an innovative problem-solver. A few years after graduating Stanford with a bachelor's degree in literature, she had the epiphany that she was a designer and pursued a master's degree in the discipline. And for the 25 years since, she has been practicing at the forefront of the digital product development.
While working for St. Jude Medical, she realized that she loves working on meaningful problems in the health domain. Losing her job at St. Jude’s was a pivotal moment in her career that lead to her starting her own company, Devise Consulting, at helm of which she has been pursuing her passion to help others ever since. And ironically, her first client was St. Jude’s – leadership quickely came to realise after her departure that Lizz is one-of-a-kind and couldn’t be replaced by anyone else.
Most recently she is taking her passion for helping make the world a better place with compassion and empathy and writing a book about how to sustain our souls at work.
In her down time, our guest enjoys writing poetry, drawing, driving cars as fast as possible, riding motorcycles through forests and mountains, drumming, and enjoying good times with beloved family and friends.
Lizz's best advice is to prioritize activities that feed your soul and give you a positive emotional state. She’s found balance and peace in mediation, even when, and sometimes especially when, “monkey mind” takes over …” it’s important to be attuned to one's true self and listen to the murmurs within”.
