About Lisa Zahiya
Lisa Zahiya’s story is proof that taking the leap…especially when it feels scary, can lead to extraordinary success.
After getting her MBA and a corporate career in marketing, she took an unconventional path, leaving it behind to pursue entrepreneurship. She built a seven-figure dance business, scaling it through innovative community-driven models and inclusive programming.
Recognizing her passion for helping others grow their businesses, Lisa transitioned into business coaching. She has since guided entrepreneurs worldwide, across industries and markets in the U.S., Middle East, and beyond—to scale their businesses to seven figures with sustainable, mission-driven strategies.
Now an international business strategist, speaker, and coach, Lisa helps business owners make more money, create lasting impact, and design lives they truly love.
Like Lisa says about dance,
“The same thing that broke me is the same thing that saved me.”
Not long after, she was training in programs by the likes of Brené Brown and Tony Robbins and learning to become an Advanced Master Coach. Soon, she launched her own coaching company, offering strategic business advice for entrepreneurs who didn’t fit the conventional mold for success.
Her anti-formulaic approach to entrepreneurship allowed her to grow several, seven-figure businesses—with revenues reaching over five million dollars.
Then, a traumatic year in Lisa’s life brought everything into focus.
In the course of just one year, she lost her grandmother and best friend to cancer. That’s when she realized:
Life’s too short not to Do It Scared.
Today, whether she’s in her zone of genius speaking on stage, leading workshops, coaching entrepreneurs, or training sales teams, Lisa continually chooses to do the things she’s scared of, even when she’s terrified—and helps other people to do the same.
She has spoken at places like the BOLD MINDBODY Conference in San Diego, CA, where she shared the stage with the likes of Magic Johnson and Arianna Huffington, Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within event, Creative Mornings, and the Lululemon Ambassador’s Conference.
Lisa lives between Egypt and New York City and travels extensively for adventure and work.
