About Dr. Nicole Lipkin

keynote speaker, psychologist, and expert on human behavior.

As an internationally recognized speaker and psychologist, I leverage decades of research and expertise to drive actionable shifts in human behavior at organizations worldwide. By harnessing my background as a clinical & organizational psychologist, founder, and consultant, I make the intricacies of the human mind — and its impact on us all — relatable, accessible, and immediately actionable.

My work has strengthened cultures and amplified impact at renowned organizations like Google, Visa, Honda, CSL Behring, and Berkshire Hathaway Home Services — and with an engaging, down-to-earth, and dynamic approach, I guide teams in creating environments that thrive in change.

  • Nicole Lipkin is an amazing speaker who brings in her own personal experience as a psychologist and Chief Executive Officer to provide leadership insights on understanding human nature to develop strong and effective teams.

    I have had the privilege of working with her for four years, and I am amazed by the incredible perspective that she brings to Senior Executives who tackle challenging issues daily. Her engaging style combines with relevant activities to give leaders a unique perspective on how to strengthen their overall team. I have personally been leading people for over 30 years and every time I work with Nicole, I am amazed at how much I learn. If you need a speaker, Nicole is your person! Every time I talk to her, I walk away knowing that I can be a better leader. She is that good!

  • Nicole is a vibrant and powerful speaker who is able to take complex psychological findings and make them relevant to an audience with little or no psychological training or experience.

    She was able to communicate these messages at a level that resulted in many dealers being moved to make significant business changes at their dealerships. I strongly endorse Nicole for any public speaking opportunity. She is eloquent, funny, impactful and engaging. Our executive staff and all of our dealers who had an opportunity to attend were impressed and pleased with Nicole and the learning she shared with them.

  • We hired Dr. Nicole Lipkin to speak at our Professional Development Days in August 2022 for a staff of 250 people.

    Her keynote on Mental Agility changed the way our employees think about what they do on a daily basis. I have lost count of the number of times my staff have looked at me and said, "Don't worry boss, my bookshelf is in top shape today, so let me know what else you need done." And while her content was amazing and very practical, it was the way Dr. Lipkin delivered the training that fully engaged our staff members and made them want to come back for more the next day. Thank you Dr. Lipkin! We are very grateful for your words, your practical application techniques, and your follow through; all which make the process of working with you fulfilling and effective.

  • After meeting Nicole at an education conference I knew I needed to bring her to my school so that my entire organization could benefit from her wit and wisdom.

    Not only is Nicole keenly aware of the current needs in mental health and resilience, she is witty and fun. Her presentation was thought provoking, down to earth, and inspirational as well as practical. Over 900 participants engaged with her keynote. 100% of attendees had an immediate takeaway that they could use right away in their life or teaching practice. I highly recommend Nicole for your next event. She is perfect for any audience you may have.

  • Words cannot express how terrific Dr. Nicole Lipkin was with her Mental Agility keynote.

    One month later we are still getting compliments on her session and people approaching us for her information. She is the first call when we need to bring spirits up and reassure our people and our clients that YES THEY CAN do anything as long as they intentionally put the practical strategies she talks about in place.

  • Dr. Lipkin is a vibrant speaker and very credible given her background and experience.

    Her approach with the audience was inclusive and interactive and the participants responded well! She presents techniques and strategies in a very practical way. I would recommend Dr. Lipkin not only as a dynamic speaker, but also for her consultative processes. They are well thought out and practical!

    – DENISE BIERSMITH, PERFORMANCE STRATEGIST

  • It became apparent at our first discussion that Nicole not only had impressive credentials and experience, but she also had the “x-factor”–that intangible trait that so many others lack–that would make the experience so impactful.

    Nicole has a real ability to be able to distill information to the material issues. She is also adept at identifying and applying appropriate techniques to help overcome barriers and move forward. However, the real secret to Nicole’s success is her approach and style. She is the consummate professional, with the perfect balance between encouragement/kindness and naming the issues with a frank assuredness.

  • Dr. Lipkin possesses a unique insight into individual personalities and the social dynamics resulting from interpersonal and group interactions.

    Her focus on cultivating an understanding and appreciation for individual differences leads her to identify productive, innovative solutions to workplace challenges. As a former client, my experience in working with Dr. Lipkin proved overwhelmingly positive. Her work with my company resulted in a shift toward mutual respect and strategies to develop work-life balance policies that are improving both employee morale and performance.
