Introduction

In this episode, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes transformational coach, author, and speaker Lisa Kalmin. With over 38 years in the industry, Lisa has helped more than 50,000 individuals shift their perspectives, achieve breakthroughs, and embrace true abundance. She is the author of the award-winning book The Problem Is How You See the Problem and co-founder of World Works Training.

Lisa Kalmin’s Journey into Transformational Coaching

Lisa shares that her passion for making a difference began at a young age. A pivotal moment in 1972, during the Munich Olympics tragedy, deeply impacted her and solidified her desire to create change. Volunteering in youth groups led her to personal transformation, which later became her life’s work. Lisa explains that, at some point, her vision “had her,” guiding her into a career dedicated to empowering others.

A Powerful Transformation Story

Lisa recalls a vivid transformation of an older African American woman in one of her training sessions. Initially bent over and burdened, this woman experienced a breakthrough when Lisa helped her recognize a generational pattern of self-defeat. This realization allowed her to stand tall and reclaim her power, demonstrating the profound impact of transformational work.

The Impact of Jack Canfield

Dr. Lycka shares his admiration for Jack Canfield, a mutual friend of Lisa’s. Lisa describes Jack as someone who sees people in their greatness. Dr. Lycka recalls working with Jack on his book, The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life, and how that experience shaped him.

COVID-19 and Its Lasting Effects

Lisa and Dr. Lycka discuss the emotional toll of COVID-19, highlighting how isolation created a societal shift toward disconnection and frustration. Lisa describes the post-pandemic world as one filled with unresolved trauma, anger, and stress. She shares her experience of witnessing increased rudeness and aggression in public spaces, emphasizing the need for community and connection.

The Biggest Mindset Shift for Lasting Change

Lisa explains that a key to transformation lies in recognizing that events are inherently neutral—only our interpretation gives them meaning. She encourages people to pause, assess their reactions, and find alternative perspectives. Dr. Lycka echoes this wisdom, emphasizing that it’s not what happens to us but how we respond that shapes our lives.

The Power of Forgiveness

Discussing the importance of forgiveness, Dr. Lycka shares Nelson Mandela’s wisdom: “If I don’t forgive, I am the one being hurt.” Lisa agrees, stating that holding onto resentment drains energy, whereas forgiveness reclaims personal power and vitality.

Writing The Problem Is How You See the Problem

Lisa reflects on the journey of writing her book, initially questioning what unique perspective she could offer. She realized that while many share transformational principles, her voice and approach were uniquely hers. She encourages others to recognize their own value and authenticity.

Daily Practices for a High Vibrational State

Lisa shares her morning routine, which includes reading, meditation, and breathwork. She emphasizes the importance of giving back, coaching, and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals to maintain a high-energy state.
