Lisa Hopper isn’t just a transformational life coach, author, and speaker—she’s a catalyst for change, a champion for authenticity, and a fierce believer in the power of human potential. Lisa leads Lisa Hopper Coaching and founded the UK School of Coaching and Self-Mastery from her base in Glasgow, Scotland, where she’s changing the game for coaches and leaders worldwide. Known for her grounded yet expansive approach, Lisa is passionate about creating a kinder, more inclusive world where every voice has value—and every life meaning.
Early Life and Influences
Born in York, England, Lisa Hopper’s childhood was rich in love and imagination, even if her family’s means were modest. Her parents—her father a printer, her mother a care nurse—instilled in her a strong work ethic, resilience, and determination. As a creative, introspective child, Lisa found joy in art and music, and she taught her “students” (aka stuffed animals) from her chalkboard at her grandmother’s house.
Her hunger for growth took her first to the London College of Fashion, then across Europe on a life-changing backpacking adventure at 20. Later, she spent a transformative year in Australia. These experiences taught Lisa that the greatest growth comes not from certainty but from saying yes to the unknown—and she’s never looked back.
Today, Lisa draws inspiration from luminaries such as Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, and others. These mentors and her passion for spirituality and psychology continue to guide her work and life philosophy.
From Curiosity to Coaching
Lisa’s journey into coaching began with a serendipitous conversation with a flatmate who suggested she would excel as a life coach. Intrigued, Lisa hired a coach and discovered the magic of transformational work. What began as a bold personal investment soon became a calling she couldn’t ignore.
In 2018, Lisa left the comfort of a secure HR job to build her own business. The leap wasn’t easy—financial fears and self-doubt crept in—but Lisa leaned into her values: creativity, action, and refusing to let fear hold her back. She grew her business from a single coaching client into a thriving practice, later formalizing it as Lisa Hopper Coaching Ltd. in 2020.
Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Global Transformation
At the core of Lisa’s work is a mission to disrupt mental barriers and societal conditioning, empowering her clients to reconnect with their confident, impactful, authentic selves. She doesn’t just offer tools for change—she creates spaces where deep transformation happens, love, trust, and freedom replace fear and self-doubt.
Lisa works with an extraordinary range of clients, from executives seeking clarity to creatives craving alignment and heart-led coaches ready to scale their impact. No matter who she works with, there are common themes in terms of outcomes: greater freedom, deeper fulfillment, and tangible results.
Her impact goes far beyond her coaching practice. Lisa integrates social good into her business model, supporting global initiatives like education for girls, clean water, and food security. For Lisa, transformation isn’t just personal—it’s global.
Overcoming Challenges and Building a Vision
The path to success has not been without obstacles. Lisa has navigated broken partnerships, financial missteps, and a health scare. These experiences taught her invaluable lessons about boundaries, self-awareness, and the power of forgiveness. Her resilience shines through as she continues to build a business that supports her long-term vision while embodying authenticity and love.
Her upcoming book, Truly You, which will be released in January 2025, reflects her passion for self-discovery and empowerment. Rather than following market trends, Lisa wrote a book that resonated deeply with her vision: helping people shed limiting beliefs and embrace their true selves. In tandem with her book, she plans to launch a series of self-mastery immersions in April 2025, offering transformative experiences to participants.
A Unique Approach to Coaching
Lisa’s coaching stands out for its deep focus on truth, authenticity, and alignment; her approach is refreshingly human. Known for her profound ability to listen beyond the surface, she creates spaces where clients feel deeply seen and inspired to challenge assumptions, expand their thinking, and move beyond their limitations.
Lisa’s unique approach empowers clients to build thriving businesses and lives without resorting to cookie-cutter strategies or exhausting hustle. Instead, she helps them uncover their innate brilliance, align with their true values, and create extraordinary results—from six-figure growth to meaningful personal breakthroughs.
Her coaching school is a sanctuary for coaches seeking to lead with heart and integrity, offering a rare combination of self-mastery, practical skill-building, and soulful alignment. With a vision of expanding into a hub for personal and professional transformation, Lisa’s work is dedicated to helping individuals live, work, and lead in ways that feel effortless, impactful, and authentically.
Words of Wisdom
Lisa’s advice is unapologetically bold for those stepping into coaching or personal transformation: Stop waiting for clarity. Move.
“Transformation doesn’t come from thinking about change; it comes from being the change,” she says. “Learning without action is just intellectual hoarding. The real magic happens when you dare to implement—even when it’s messy or uncomfortable.”
Lisa highlights the power of relationships and the art of deep listening—not just to others, but to the quiet wisdom within yourself. She challenges you to question the judgments that disrupt your peace, the stories you’ve outgrown, and the fears that keep you small.
“Who you are in any moment is far more important than what you do,” Lisa shares. “Business, life, success—they’re all about showing up authentically, leading with curiosity, and loving enough to take risks that scare you. The ego will tell you to play it safe, but growth demands courage. Choose courage.”
She reminds us that challenges aren’t roadblocks—they’re invitations to grow, to lead, and to become the person your dreams require you to be.
The Legacy of Lisa Hopper
Lisa’s vision extends far beyond her coaching practice. She aims to create a ripple effect of transformation, fostering a world where people connect with their true selves and contribute meaningfully to society. Lisa is building a legacy of empowerment, authenticity, and profound impact through her coaching, writing, and speaking.
As Lisa says, “We are capable of the extraordinary. We just haven’t woken up to that yet.” With her guidance, countless individuals are awakening to their potential and stepping into lives of purpose and fulfillment.
