Burnout is a prevalent challenge for many leaders, particularly women, who often juggle demanding professional roles with the emotional labor of personal responsibilities. Stephanie Osborne Greene, the Owner and President of Health Bridge Consulting, has dedicated her career to addressing this issue. After experiencing significant career burnout after achieving her C-suite dream job, Greene transformed her life and now helps other leaders avoid the exhaustion, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction that can arise in high-stress work environments.
With over two decades of experience in healthcare leadership, Greene’s expertise allows her to understand the unique pressures faced by leaders, especially in healthcare. Her own journey to reclaim her health and well-being has shaped her mission to prevent burnout and promote balanced leadership.
“In 2024, as I approached my 50th birthday, I hit a wall. I was miserable at work and at home. Having lost my mom when she was 58, it was a motivator to determine what was driving my unhappiness and make some big changes, because life is short,” says Greene. “As a result, I left behind my high-stress c-suite role and now focus on helping other leaders, especially women, recover from burnout, as well as assisting organizations in preventing burnout among their workforce.”
Health Bridge Consulting was founded with a clear mission: to address burnout and its detrimental effects on leadership, particularly for those in healthcare organizations. Greene works closely with leaders to guide them through the process of burnout recovery and prevention. By working with leaders on skills such as values alignment, authentic leadership, energy management and psychological safety, Greene helps leaders transition from chronic “fight or flight” to peace and purpose.
At Health Bridge Consulting, individuals are guided from a state of fight-or-flight to one of purpose and peace through Core Energy Coaching™, a research-backed methodology that shifts stress-induced, catabolic energy into constructive, anabolic energy. Using tools like the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment, clients gain deep insight into how they lead and respond under pressure. This awareness, combined with personalized coaching, helps them build clarity, confidence, emotional resilience, and alignment with what truly matters—leading to meaningful relationships, improved communication, and a more fulfilling, empowered life.
Greene is a certified Fearless Organization Psychological Safety Practitioner and holds multiple certifications, including a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certification from Cornell University and coaching certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. Additionally, she holds a Master’s in Health Administration and is an Energy Leadership Index Assessment™ Master Practitioner. These qualifications allow Greene to offer specialized coaching and leadership development programs that help organizations tackle burnout, improve team dynamics, and enhance overall performance.
Her approach is particularly focused on addressing the emotional labor experienced by women leaders. This unseen and often unacknowledged burden contributes to burnout and mental strain. Greene aims to help women rediscover their authentic selves and re-engage with their careers in a way that nurtures both their well-being and professional success.
What sets Health Bridge Consulting apart is Greene’s in-depth experience in the high-pressure healthcare industry. She understands the challenges faced by leaders who are promoted based on clinical expertise but may lack the leadership training necessary for effective team management. Greene’s coaching empowers leaders to build the skills required to retain top talent, drive organizational success, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Greene’s message is clear: Burnout is not an inevitable part of leadership, and it’s not simply the result of exhaustion. It’s a signal that change is necessary. Health Bridge Consulting offers a structured framework designed to help leaders break free from the cycle of burnout and rediscover purpose and peace in their personal and professional lives. For those ready to embark on a journey toward sustainable leadership, Greene’s coaching provides the tools and support needed for lasting transformation.
Through her coaching and organizational development services, Greene helps clients navigate burnout, create sustainable leadership practices, and prioritize both personal well-being and organizational success. Her work empowers female leaders to move beyond the symptoms of burnout and into a place of authenticity, purpose, and health, ensuring they lead effectively without sacrificing their humanity.
