Lisa Nichols's speaking fee falls within range: $30,000 to $50,000
Growing up and living in a South Central L.A. neighborhood divided between two warring gangs, single mother Lisa Nichols gave herself permission to take control of her life and get her family out of poverty. Today she is the founder and owner of a company that has a multi-million dollar value. Nichols speaks to thousands of people each year about how she turned her life around and how you can to.
In 1994 Nichols found herself relying on Welfare and WIC in order to raise her infant son, whose father was in prison. While she was grateful but slightly embarrassed to have to rely on public assistance, it was still challenging to meet her household’s basic needs. Nichols hit rock bottom one day when she couldn’t afford to buy her son diapers and had to resort to wrapping him in towels. Instead of blaming her circumstances, she became determined to rise above them.
Nichols carefully examined her life and habits closely to figure out what was working and what wasn’t. She took on a new go-getter mentality, got a job running the Family Resource Center for the LA Unified School District, and began to put aside a little bit of money each month for a dream project that she hadn’t yet identified. Later on, she started up a foundation called Motivating the Teen Spirit. In order to successfully grow the program, Nichols began attending several conferences on entrepreneurship and branding, a move that influenced her own decision to eventually start speaking.
Since its foundation in 2000, Motivating the Teen Spirit has touched millions of lives, reuniting runaways with their families, preventing teen suicides, and helping drop-outs return to school. In 2010 Nichols launched the personal and professional development training company, Motivating the Masses, which today has a multi-million dollar value and is the only public company from the self development industry. Nichols is the best-selling author of seven books and her teachings were featured in the 2007 hit phenomenon The Secret.
LISA NICHOLS is CEO of Motivating the Masses, one of the top training and development companies in the world, a best-selling author of six books and one of the most sought-after transformational speakers whose global platform has reached and served millions.
Ms. Nichols’ extraordinary story of transforming her own life from a struggling single mom on public assistance from South Central Los Angeles to now Millionaire Entrepreneur is the inspiration behind her bold mission to teach others that it is possible to do the same. Using her signature No Matter What! system (and based on her New York Times Bestseller by the same name), Lisa teaches people how to master accomplishing unfathomable goals and to tap their limitless potential.
Her featured teacher role in the self-development movie and phenomenon, The Secret, catapulted her popularity across the globe. Lisa has appeared on the “Oprah Winfrey Show,” “Extra,” “Larry King Live” and starred on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning show, “Starting Over.”
Coined “The Breakthrough Specialist” by her peers in the industry, her powerful message of empowerment, service, gratitude and excellence has been delivered via workshops and programs which have impacted the lives of millions of adults and over 200,000 teens through her non-profit foundation, Motivating the Teen Spirit.
Honored with numerous awards for her work, Lisa has received the Humanitarian Award from the country of South Africa, The Ambassador Award, and The Legoland Foundation’s Heart of Learning Award. The City of Henderson, Nevada named November 20th as Motivating the Teen Spirit Day and the City of Houston, Texas named May 9th as Lisa Nichols Day for her dedication to service, philanthropy and healing.
As a founding member of the Transformational Leadership Council, Lisa joins other personal and organizational development luminaries such as Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, John DeMartini, Marci Shimoff and others to co-create value and learning that help people change their lives and change the planet.
As CEO of Motivating the Masses, Inc., Lisa Nichols leads a highly energetic, heart-centered and experienced team of business and leadership development master trainers and coaches who serve speakers, authors and entrepreneurs with world-class programs, masterminds and products. Lisa lives, plays and works in the greater San Diego, California area and on stages around the world.
Lisa Nichols shares the amazing story of how she went from being a mom on public assistance to running a multi-million dollar company. In 1994, Nichols’ number-one priority was taking care of her eight-month-old son. One day she ran out of diapers and didn’t have enough money to buy more, so she resorted to wrapping her son in towels and changing the towels.
After two days of doing this, she put her hand on his belly and promised him that she would never be this poor again. In that moment something shifted inside her; the experience of poverty and motivation to give her son a better life proved to be a breakthrough for Nichols in terms of stretching her willpower to do and say things that she had never done before.
“I knew that abundant people, prosperous people were doing something that I wasn’t doing, because my life was evidence,” Nichols notes. “Good, bad, or indifferent – your life is evidence of what you’re up to.”
Lisa Nichols’ approaches to creating an abundant life go beyond generalized themes like goal setting. The self-made businesswoman is forthright in tackling “behind-the-black curtain questions” – questions she herself wanted answers to when she was making her way from public assistance to public company owner. What happens when someone makes you angry and you have to forgive them? How do you stay connected to your community when your success takes you other places? How do you unleash yourself from a mindset that says you can only achieve so much because you grew up in a poor family, a certain town, or ethnic group?
Nichols’ extraordinary lessons, stories, and the incredibly honest dialogue she facilitates between her and the audience will show you that her success story is not the exception, but rather the result of decisions and actions she took – a path that is accessible to anyone willing to do it.
