In her talk, Lisa Johnson explores what it truly means to live a life well lived. Drawing on her journey from poverty and bullying to building a multimillion-pound business, she reflects on why wealth, travel and achievement still left her feeling unfulfilled. Following the death of her best friend, Lisa began a year-long experiment to leave people feeling better than before they met her, through acts of kindness, support and human connection. She discovered that fulfilment is not determined by what we accumulate or achieve, but by the positive difference we make to others. Her talk invites us to create one meaningful moment of kindness each week. Lisa is a Global Business Strategist and Sunday Times Bestselling author. She passionately believes that every business owner’s journey is unique, and that the “one size fits all” approach that dominates the online coaching and mentoring world is fundamentally flawed, inspiring her to take a stand at the forefront of ethical and integrity driven business strategy advice.Lisa has featured on numerous TV shows and has appeared in national newspapers and magazines including Forbes, The Telegraph, Psychologies, The Guardian and Fast Company.

You already are right now, in what you do next. A former TEDx organizer, the speaker successfully led **TEDxBCPJT**, creating a platform that amplified ideas and inspired meaningful dialogue.
