  • About Liz Tran

    Liz Tran is the founder of Reset, a modern learning company that helps CEOs and founders build high-performing teams and create growth-mindset corporate cultures.

Tran has worked with companies like Facebook, Instagram, Outdoor Voices, and the Ford Foundation, and her transformative work has been featured in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Bloomberg, and Fast Company, among other publications.

    In her book The Karma of Success: Spiritual Strategies to Free Your Inner Genius  and in her keynotes, Liz Tran explores how to find career success through a spiritual tool kit that is based on ancient sources wisdom like Zen, Reiki, the Tao, and Buddhism. She speaks to a new world where perks and prestige have taken a back seat to values and meaning, and offers a fresh and timely playbook for reaching one’s greatest potential. She grounds her lessons in the Four Pillars of Spiritual Strategy—inquiring inward, manifesting mindfully, enriching your energy, and becoming brilliant. Drawing on these spiritual strategies for creativity, performance, and mind-body resilience, Tran speaks on how to bring our entire (and best) selves to work. Tran cautions us against approaching our careers with a “mechanical work” mentality (following the prescriptions given by peers, colleagues, and society) that often leads us to becoming overworked, burnt out, and unfulfilled. Instead, she advocates for “intuitive work” (following our inner voice or gut feeling) to find success, happiness, and fulfillment in both our professional and personal life. A big believer in post-work, Tran provides concrete takeaways that employees can practice beyond the workshops to continue building a foundation for personal growth.
