Talent Short Bio

Vishen Lakhiani is a globally recognized leader in personal transformation, conscious leadership, and human potential. As the founder and CEO of Mindvalley, one of the world’s largest personal growth platforms, Vishen has built a movement that reaches millions across 150 countries, reshaping how individuals and organizations approach learning, wellbeing, and achievement.

Known for his bold ideas and unconventional thinking, Vishen blends neuroscience, personal development, meditation, and modern leadership principles to help audiences break through limiting beliefs and operate at higher levels of clarity, creativity, and purpose. His philosophy challenges traditional models of success, advocating instead for a life where meaning and impact are inseparable from personal growth.

Vishen is a New York Times bestselling author of The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and The Buddha and The Badass, two books that have transformed the way people approach productivity, self-awareness, and organizational culture. Through Mindvalley’s global ecosystem—events, learning experiences, and transformational communities—Vishen has helped democratize access to powerful tools for wellbeing and peak performance.

In a world teeming with motivational speakers and thought leaders, few individuals manage to stand out quite like Vishen Lakhiani.

Vishen Lakhiani journey as a keynote speaker began with a vision, a vision that would evolve into his groundbreaking concept of “The Code of the Extraordinary Mind.” Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Vishen’s early life was marked by the influences of his Indian heritage and his exposure to various cultures. These experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for diversity and an unquenchable curiosity about the human experience, ultimately shaping his unique perspective on personal development.

Vishen Lakhiani’s message centers around the concept of the “extraordinary mind,” a departure from the traditional models of personal development. He challenges the idea that success is solely defined by external markers such as wealth, fame, or status. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of inner transformation, shifting the focus from achieving external goals to unlocking one’s limitless potential.

At the heart of Vishen’s philosophy is the idea that our beliefs, often shaped by societal conditioning, can limit our true potential. He encourages individuals to break free from these constraints and create their own set of rules, ones that align with their authentic selves and desires. In his keynote speeches, Vishen provides practical tools and strategies for rewiring one’s mindset, fostering a sense of purpose, and living a life in alignment with one’s values.

What truly sets Vishen Lakhiani apart as a keynote speaker is his ability to seamlessly blend science and spirituality, combining empirical evidence with age-old wisdom. He introduces audiences to concepts like “Bending Reality,” where he delves into the power of meditation, mindfulness, and altered states of consciousness to unlock creativity, enhance productivity, and improve overall well-being.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
