Empowering Students with Self-Love, Confidence & Emotional Resilience

About Me

I’m Lisa Sarayeldin, a speaker, author, and self-love coach dedicated to empowering students to develop unshakable self-worth, confidence, and resilience. My passion for education and personal growth stems from my background as a former assistant principal and primary school teacher, where I saw firsthand the impact self-perception has on a student’s ability to thrive—academically, socially, and beyond.

With a Bachelor of Education and certification as a Master NLP Practitioner, I bring a unique blend of educational experience and mindset coaching to help young people navigate self-doubt, pressure, and personal growth. Through my workshops and speaking engagements, I create safe and relatable spaces where students can explore self-love, overcome limiting beliefs, and step into their full potential.

My book, Love More (published April 2022), explores the power of self-love and forgiveness, offering practical insights into overcoming fear, letting go of pain, and fostering deeper connections. These principles serve as the foundation of my work, helping students develop the confidence and inner strength they need to navigate school, relationships, and life with clarity and self-assurance.

I believe that when students embrace self-love, they don’t just feel better about themselves, they make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and grow into resilient, empowered individuals. My goal is to support schools in fostering an environment where every student has the tools to thrive from the inside out.

"When students embrace self-love, they don’t just feel better about themselves, they make better choices, build stronger relationships, and develop the confidence to lead their own lives with purpose."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal group size for the workshop to maintain its intimate and supportive nature?

Yes! My workshops are flexible and can be tailored for both small and large groups, ensuring every student remains engaged and gains value from the experience.

For smaller groups (10-20 students), the sessions are more intimate and interactive, allowing for deep discussions, personal reflection, and tailored coaching to support individual growth. This setting is ideal for students who may benefit from a more personal, hands-on approach to self-love, resilience, and emotional intelligence.

For larger groups (50+ students or full year levels), I use dynamic, high-energy exercises, group discussions, and interactive activities to ensure every student feels included. Large-scale sessions focus on engagement, practical takeaways, and collective learning, while also incorporating moments for individual self-reflection and peer connection.

No matter the group size, my approach ensures students feel seen, heard, and empowered to apply what they’ve learned. Let’s discuss the best format for your school!.

What is NLP, and how is it used in your workshops?

TNLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a powerful psychological approach that helps students understand and reframe their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. In my workshops, I use NLP to:

✔ Rewire negative self-talk into empowering inner dialogue

✔ Break limiting beliefs that hold students back

✔ Develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness

✔ Improve communication and confidence

These techniques help students take greater control of their mindset, emotions, and future.

Are your workshops available in-person or online?

Both! In-person workshops are recommended as they create a stronger emotional connection and a safe, supportive group atmosphere. However, virtual sessions can be arranged for flexibility, ensuring students still receive the full experience in a structured online format. I am also available to travel interstate or internationally to accommodate schools in different locations.

Do you offer follow-up support after the workshop?

Yes! To ensure lasting impact, I offer follow-up sessions, coaching, and additional resources to help students continue applying what they’ve learned. This can include:

• Extra coaching sessions for students who need more support

• Teacher resources to reinforce the workshop topics in class

• Ongoing student challenges to build self-love and resilience over time

How long are the workshops?

Workshops typically run as half-day or full-day sessions, depending on the needs of the school. I also offer six-week coaching programs with 45-minute sessions once a week, allowing students to integrate and apply what they’ve learned over time. We can discuss the best structure for your students during a consultation.

Do you work with boys and young men?

Absolutely. While many of my workshops focus on girls' self-worth and confidence, these concepts are just as important for boys and young men.

Many boys also struggle with self-doubt, emotional resilience, and pressure to meet unrealistic expectations—whether that’s proving their worth through achievements, toughness, or external validation.

By including boys in these conversations, we help them:

✔ Develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness

✔ Build confidence without relying on external validation

✔ Learn healthy communication and boundary-setting skills

✔ Foster self-compassion rather than pressure to “tough it out”

In a world where toxic masculinity and silent struggles still exist, giving boys the tools to understand themselves, regulate emotions, and develop healthy confidence creates a positive ripple effect for everyone.

I tailor the content to suit both girls and boys or run separate sessions to address their unique experiences. Let’s discuss how we can create an inclusive and impactful experience for all students.

How does your coaching differ from traditional wellbeing programs?

Many wellbeing programs talk about confidence and resilience, but my workshops help students experience it through practical exercises, real-life tools, and interactive discussions. Rather than just teaching self-love and resilience, I create immersive experiences where students learn how to apply these concepts to their everyday lives.

This is not just another wellbeing talk, it’s a transformational journey where students gain lifelong strategies for self-worth, emotional resilience, and personal empowerment.
