Biography

“Your life is defined by the gap between what happens to you and your reaction to it.” – Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins is a no-nonsense motivational speaker who challenges audiences with strategies to revamp their personal lives and careers. Mel’s practical, high-energy message provides tangible results that help people push through our everyday challenges in life, work, and love.

Mel has gained a following for her tough-love approach and honest advice to remove the mental clutter and habits that sabotage our dreams. She spells out these strategies for audiences just as she did in her TEDx sensation, How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over – now viewed almost 20 million times on YouTube.

She also inspires more than 60 million people a month on her social media platforms.

On stage, Mel draws from her book, The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage, by offering detailed takeaways on how simply taking five seconds can be the first step to changing a life or career. Her self-published book became an international bestseller and was named the #1 audiobook in the world and the fifth most-read book of the year on Amazon. She is also the author of Stop Saying You’re Fine: Discover a More Powerful You.

As a life and career coach, Mel is the host of a nationally syndicated talk show, The Mel Robbins Show.

She starred in the A&E series, In-Laws, and the FOX reality show Someone’s Gotta Go. In addition, she writes a monthly column for Success Magazine and has been a commenter for CNBC. Mel is the co-founder and CEO of 143 Studios, a digital media company that produces content in partnership with Fortune 500 brands.

Testimonials

I have been doing what I do for over 20 years - almost 8 with HFMA - and in that time I have never worked with a speaker as engaged as Mel. Her commitment and investment in making ours a successful event is unprecedented. I look forward to working with her on the rest of our program.
– Director, Conferences & Travel, HFMA
I have the honor of leading the search efforts for our annual sales meeting kickoff keynote speaker. Just recently, before a crowd of nearly 500 of my colleagues, we experienced a powerful, impactful, eye-opening keynote to launch our new sales year. Mel Robbins delivered an uplifting message, driven by her 5 second rule theme. She did so with vibrant energy, struck the proper balance and tone, worked the audience and personally connected with our organization. We found her content insightful and motivating, and her genuine, self confident communication style pulled the group towards her. I sincerely appreciate the contributions that Mel made to ensure that this 40th annual sales meeting proved to be so successful.
– General Manager, Sales|Marketing for Jack Henry & Associates
Our audience is still raving about Mel and she scored the highest rating out of all of our presenters. The 5 second rule certainly resonated and I saw this mentioned in our survey comments as well as referenced in several meetings since the event. I was also personally impressed with Mel's presentation and she exceeded my expectations.
– Cisco
Hiring speakers for 35 years, sometimes I think I've heard it all. I knew our attendees would benefit greatly from you, and you were even better than I already anticipated. What impressed me most is that I heard you speak two years ago, I've watched all your videos, and everything you shared in this presentation was new. You have the gift, grace, and tenacity to share your ever evolving wisdom.
– Executive Director, American Payroll Assn
We can't thank you enough for presenting at our National Conference in Dallas, Texas. Your presentation and personal engagement with our Stylists have made a lasting and significant impact on our entire sales force. Our Stylists walked away feeling empowered, encouraged and eager to build their business, cultivate their leadership skills and dive deep with their own personal development. You have truly inspired our company to reach for new heights - thank you.
– CEO, J. Hilburn
