Stories from Lisa Nichols’s students

I really don't know why I started this course but something drew me to do it. It was my intuition telling me its something I should be doing I guess. Before starting this course I was really an introvert. I didn't like to share my personal story with anyone. I was a very private person. I only shared what I needed to…

I've moved from informing to genuinely transforming audiences. People now quote my lines back to me, and my speaking, leadership, content, and family conversations all flow from the same aligned, authentic voice.

I couldn't confidently sell or influence, even when what I was offering genuinely helped people... Eric showed me how to capture the stories of my life, map them, and tell them naturally without memorising a single line. That alone dissolved a 25-year block... I can sell, influence, and communicate at the level my work deserves.

I wrote my book hoping it could change one life. She told me it changed hers. She called it hope. She called it empowerment... your voice can reach rooms you never enter. Your story can touch hearts you may never meet. When you master the way you communicate your lived experience, you don't just speak. You ripple.

This course changed the way I see myself as a speaker... Four months into the course I delivered my TEDx talk on AI intimacy and the human need for love. It remains one of the achievements I am most proud of, not only because of the talk itself but because of who I had to become in order to deliver it... Speaking Mastery didn't just make me a better speaker. It made me a braver one.

I joined the Speaking & Influencing Mastery program with a deep fear of speaking-on stage, in groups, even in my own business. Today, after graduating, I feel like a completely different person... I've already spoken on stage twice-something I never imagined possible-and I loved every second of it.

I didn't just want to share knowledge. I wanted to move people... After completing the Mastery (and Eric's Speaking Academy) I feel like a different person on stage. I can walk out, centre myself, and share my stories and insights with confidence.

I am just starting this program. I heard Lisa Nichols speak in an online challenge for coaches. She had literally just gotten off a plane. From the moment she began to talk, I was arrested by her presence. It poured through the screen at me and I was inspired. It wasn't just the stories that she wove with humor, pathos…

My speaking style has changed completely, and I see a total shift in the way people listen to me... At age 81, I am now pursuing my goal to end child abuse with greater confidence and impact.

I'm saying yes to opportunities I would have talked myself out of before. I'm reaching out, pitching, showing up, and putting myself forward without the old hesitation... I've taken on bigger stages, launched new projects, strengthened my presence in my field, and opened doors I never thought I'd knock on.

I'd never really seen emotional expression as something that was available to me in my own storytelling... The move from barely being able to speak it to using the tools we learnt and to deliver it to our group with emotion and impact without losing control of the moment, shifted my sense of what's possible for me.

I could talk about my biological age test or my protocols, yet I couldn't articulate these stories in a way that truly landed with audiences, investors, or even my own team... I can now share my origin story - and the many stories around it - in a way that connects, whether on stage, in fundraising, or in conversations with clients.
