I have been a guest speaker on college campuses for more than twenty years. My current presentation, “The Most Important Story Every Told”, is about the power of the stories we tell ourselves. A mix of personal stories, inspiring videos, vulnerability, and a lesson in the importance of self-love, my talk safely explores the challenges of being a student, and discusses tools to create success and connection with ourselves and the world around us.



“My favorite guest speaker this year (might even be ever) is Todd Lieman. Everything he said was so inspiring and got me not only to think deeply, but also to reflect on so many past experiences and relationships.” – USC Student
“…hearing you talk in my class at USC was life changing for me. Best guest speaker I’ve ever listened to.”

“….it was one of the most amazing nights of my college career and something I will never forget.”

“There are not enough words to truly show how much this presentation meant to me and I just wanted to thank you for talking to the class.”
