“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our guest today is Nada Lena, who is the founder / CEO of Rise Up For You, a two-time TED speaker, a #1 bestselling author, and a leadership and career confidence coach. Nada’s time as both a college professor and a former top executive for an education corporation gave her an intimate understanding of how education, empowerment, and leadership fuse together for massive transformation.
She has toured the world as a singer, has a Master’s degree in Administrative Leadership, and has coached and mentored 50,000+ individuals around the world on self-empowerment, career strategy, and soft skills.
Nada has been featured in media all over the world, has spoken on some of the most renowned stages, and her company, Rise Up For You, has been featured in and worked with brands such as CBS, LA Fitness, and Google.
Nada believes that in order to create change within our communities, companies, and households, we must first create change within ourselves because the world needs all of us at our best.
Check out the YouTube or podcast version where Nada Lena does the Win the Day Rocket Round, answering questions about his favorite quote, what advice he’d give his 18-year-old self, the one thing on his bucket list, and a whole lot more. 🚀
In this interview, we’re going to talk about:
- How to create bulletproof confidence;
- The #1 skill needed to succeed in an increasingly digital world;
- What organizations can do to create a positive culture (that benefits both people and profits);
- The steps Nada took to rebuild her life after divorce — with only $100 to her name; and
- How to unlock your FULL potential.

And, if we have time, we might even be able to ask Nada about how she found herself performing in the Russian circus.
Before we get started, remember that the right bit of inspiration can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend or loved one who needs to hear this episode, share it with them right now.
