If you like the way Dr. Lissa Rankin writes, just wait until you see her in person! When she speaks to audiences ranging from 20 to 2400, she integrates her signature voice of authenticity and empowerment with her Renaissance woman experience as a women's empowerment advocate, OB/GYN physician, author, entrepreneur, and social media success.
Dr. Rankin speaks at:
‘Your diagnosis is your in a freakin’ abusive marriage, you hate your job, you feel creatively thwarted, you are spiritually disconnected, and you haven’t let go of the resentment against your father who molested you as a child’ - Dr. Rankin’s TEDxTalk. Dr. Lissa Rankin is an elegant and honest speaker. Her TEDxTalk has already reached almost 45,000 views after only one month after the event. Perhaps it’s because people are hungry for their health care practitioners to be really honest with them instead of prescribing pill after pill. Lissa is willing to get real with people and guide them on a path to true, whole wellness. I struggled personally for years with pelvic problems, in and out of clinics to understand why I had the pain. It wasn’t until I quit working at a hostile environment, moved across the country, and starting learning to love myself from the inside-out that the pain went away. If every doctor were to have the balls- er- ovaries like Dr. Lissa, we’d have a healthier society. She is on to something! ~ Michelle Fetsch, TEDxFiDiWomen Curator, License Holder Founder, Women Enough
"There are performances and then there is embodiment. There are performers and then there is the real deal, people who walk their talk. Lissa Rankin is real-she walks her talk. Her message is timely, brilliant, and empowering. When she's speaks, no one falls asleep! Bold, her message is one that every body needs to hear! When people ask me why Lissa? I say, "Shut up and sit down-this woman is a leader and a visionary with much to say!" - Debbie Rosas, Co-founder and Co-creator of The Nia Technique
"In 2010, Lissa was selected as one of the presenters at BlogHer's Voices of the Year community keynote. The community keynote is the centerpiece of our flagship conference, and Lissa took the stage in front of thousand of our attendees. To say she had them in the palm of her hand is an understatement. Let's just say she had them chanting along and created a new catchphrase that will go down in conference lore as a clarion call for the community!" -Elisa Camahort Page, co-founder of BlogHer
“Lissa Rankin speaks the truth. And from this place of truth she ignites the humanity in us all. Her voice becomes a beacon of light nudging each and every one of us to awaken from our way too long slumber.” -Sheila Kelley, founder of S Factor
"I honestly was so surprised when Lissa committed to coming out and delivering the key note speech for Zest Fest! I felt extremely fortunate and knew that the women that attended would be in for a pretty kick ass treat as well! Lissa is so vibrantly alive and radiates her love for women's health with a beautiful emphasis on the emotional component. . . She rocked my world." ~ Beth Umba, founder of Zest Fest
"The Connecticut College Women's Center brought Dr. Lissa Rankin to campus in October 2010 as part of her Ask the Girlfriend Gyno book tour. Dr. Rankin and her team were a pleasure to work with. I believe it says a lot about a speaker when they walk into the room and can calm a very nervous organizer with a hug! Dr. Rankin's talk was engaging, funny and serious at the same time. She took each student's question seriously and answered to the best of her ability. At the end of the night, she took extra time to speak to individuals who had more private questions. Our student responses at the end of night ranged from "engaging and funny" to "I'd like to see more speakers like Dr. Rankin on-campus" to "Answered questions that I didn't even know I wanted to ask!" I highly recommend Dr. Lissa Rankin as a positive addition to your campus speakers line up!" - Colleen Bunn, Area Coordinator of Connecticut College
