Nicole started her career at 5 years old, selling golf balls, lemonade, and toys. She outdid the other kids on the block due to sheer hustle. Years later, she decided to focus her hustle on helping people, pursuing a doctorate in clinical psychology, and master of business administration, and master of criminal justice. Her first baby, Equilibria Psychological, grew into one of the largest psychology practices servicing the Greater Philadelphia community.
Nicole launched Equilibria Leadership with the vision of bringing impactful psychological insight to leadership consulting. While she was at it, she also founded HeyKiddo, and authored two best-selling books – What Keeps Leaders Up At Night” and “Y in the Workplace: Managing the “Me First” Generation.”
Nicole now serves leaders around the world with Equilibria Leadership. She is a sought-after organizational psychologist due to her expertise in human behavior and the psychology of leadership.
Nicole lives in Philly with her husband, Matt, her toddler, Charlie, and her cat, El Guapo Meatball. They can be found having killer living room dance parties at any given time.
We all have an incredible ability to activate the very best in the people around us. Yet, research shows up to 85% of professionals lack the emotional intelligence needed to do this consistently. Thus, the seemingly never-ending cycle of communication breakdowns and misaligned agendas that come from confusing “people problems.” Drawn from behavioral science, I’ll provide a highly actionable, practical framework to transform individual, team, and cultural dynamics by illuminating the psychological drivers that motivate positive human behavior.
Essential for success in a changing world is agile thinking – the ability to fluidly adjust our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in times of change. The challenge is that we are not wired to respond this way! But, good news, we can learn to do this. With heightened awareness and science-backed tools, we can train our minds to adapt to change, challenge, and conflict. With humor and candor, I’ll reveal the new science of thinking to deliver our best and get the best from others, even in the most trying times.
Want to understand what makes or breaks a leader? This fun, engaging keynote based on Dr. Nicole Lipkin’s book, What Keeps Leaders Up at Night, sheds light on the psychology that underscores successful leadership. Attendees will learn the root causes that make or break our ability to bring out the best in ourselves and in others and the often ignored core factors that influence our impact as leaders.
Organizations need leaders who can identify and respond to the emotional and psychological well-being of their employees. In these uncertain and highly stressful times, leaders are carrying a heavy weight on top of managing their own well-being. For companies to continue to grow in times of adversity, leaders need mental agility, fortitude, and constant flexing of their emotional intelligence muscle. Learn about ways to fine-tune the agility muscle in order to help effectively manage the emotional well-being of your teams, culture, and company.
Motivating a 25-year-old is very different than motivating a 35-year-old and completely different than motivating employees in their 40s and 50s. Trust, Loyalty, Commitment, and Client relationships all mean different things to different generations. Or do they? As a leading expert on generational research and management and the co-author of Y in the Workplace: Managing the “Me First” Generation, Dr. Lipkin will weed through fiction to get to the facts on how to harness individual and collective strengths, regardless of generation.

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.

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.

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.
