About Sharon
Sharon Lipinski’s work is rooted in a simple belief: meaningful change doesn’t come from big, dramatic moments—it comes from small choices made consistently.
That belief wasn’t born in a classroom or a boardroom. It came from lived experience.
Early in her career, Sharon worked in high-pressure environments where long hours, constant stress, and the expectation to “push through” were the norm. Over time, the strain showed up as anxiety, panic attacks, and a growing realization that something had to change. Motivation alone wasn’t enough. She needed a different way to live and work—one built on habits, not willpower.
A pivotal moment came during a quiet Thanksgiving, when Sharon invited a man she barely knew—someone who would otherwise spend the holiday alone—to share a meal. It was a small act, but it changed how she saw impact. Real change didn’t require more time, money, or perfect conditions. It required noticing—and acting.
That insight became the foundation of Sharon’s work.
Today, Sharon is known for helping people turn insight into action through practical, science-backed strategies that make change doable. Her keynotes focus on habits, well-being, and behavior change—giving audiences tools they can use immediately, not ideas they’ll forget by Monday.
Sharon has delivered hundreds of hours of instruction to audiences across a wide variety of industries and holds specialized training in habit formation, gamification, and behavioral change. She is also the author of 365 Ways to Live Generously, a book built on the same principle that guides her speaking: small actions, repeated daily, can change a life—and sometimes, a community.
Above all, Sharon’s work is about helping people become the kind of person they want to be, one small, intentional choice at a time.
