Speak And Inspire

Lisa Nichols is widely regarded as one of the top speaking coaches in the world. Her mastery of communication and motivation has placed her among the very best orators in history – alongside legends like Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela and more.

This was evident when she was asked to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Her ability to connect with the audience and share her story led to her being invited on media appearances across the world and being invited to co-author the book “Chicken Soup for the African American Soul.”

Later appearances on shows like the Steve Harvey Show resulted in her snippets of her talk going viral on the internet and attaining over 100M views -- again due to Lisa’s ability to communicate.

But before any of this recognition, her life was filled with unimaginable scarcity and struggle. In 1994, Lisa was a single mom in South Central L.A., barely surviving on government assistance. With only $11.42 to her name, she couldn’t even buy diapers for her young child. Lisa pulled herself out of this situation and the pain of her past causes her to dedicate her life to helping others.

Lisa is celebrated for the impact she has on the lives of teens. Through Lisa’s non-profit foundation Motivating the Teen Spirit, she has touched the lives of over 270,000 teens, prevented over 3,800 teen suicides, supported 2,500 dropouts in returning to school, and has helped thousands reunite with families.

Throughout her work with teens in the early 2000s and her appearance in the hit documentary The Secret, Lisa began getting enquiries to teach people to communicate in the unique way she did. This led to her dedicating her life to teaching public speaking and communication. Over the next decade she would become what is widely recognised as the world’s top coach for public speaking. Lisa now reaches 80M people a year through her appearances and platform.
