Lisa Kohn —Inspirational Storyteller, Seasoned Executive Coach, and Award-Winning Author
You can’t quite explain it, but you feel like something is missing. Or that you’re missing. You’re pushing harder to get things right, but it’s not working. You’re weary and sense that you could be happier with yourself, your life, your leadership.
You’re looking to feel more whole and complete, but how do you begin to do that?
In this transformational keynote, Lisa Kohn reveals how to excel both personally and professionally in unexpected ways and offers her FLYTÔ path to move you beyond limiting beliefs and behaviors. She takes you on an emotional ride, sharing her powerful story of growth, grit, resilience, and joy, and leaves you with knowledge and inspiration to become more effective, resilient, and joyful yourself – so you can lead with more purpose to drive results, connect more deeply with your teams and people, and develop sustainable habits
that move yourself and your organization forward.

Lisa grew up in a religious cult with one parent and NYC’s sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll lifestyle with the other. She knows the loneliness of self-judgment, the exhaustion of overdoing, and the cage of restrictive mindsets. However, it doesn’t take a childhood like hers to yield these effects. Many of her clients were stuck in this painful, unproductive way of thinking and being as well when they first met her.
Lisa’s decades-long personal, professional, and educational journey – including her MBA from Columbia University, her work in Positive Psychology and neuroplasticity, and her mindfulness and yoga practices – revealed that the answers we need are within us and within our power. To come back to our Wholeness, we must counterintuitively love ourselves more than we think is possible – First Most AlwaysTM.
With raw honesty and hard-earned wisdom, Lisa will have you laughing, possibly crying, and building your own path to Wholeness – living and leading as your most authentic, unstoppable, joyful self.
