About:
Lisa Sun is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author. She founded her company Gravitas in 2012 with a mission to catalyze confidence. The company’s origin story dates back to her first professional review, where she was told that she “lacked gravitas,” and “should go buy a new dress, big jewelry, and great shoes.” With those words in mind, Sun filed for a global patent to build shapewear directly into dresses. Two months after launch, her first collection was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, People, and on Today all in the same month.
Lisa is also the national best-selling author of Gravitas: The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence. It’s a USA Today best-seller and Amazon #1 best-seller for September 2023. Prior to founding Gravitas, Sun spent 11 years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company.
Lisa lives in New York City and can be reached at: gravitasnewyork.com as well as on Instagram: @LisaLSun and @GravitasNewYork.
You can take the 56-question My Confidence Language Quiz, which is not a personality test but rather a way to unlock your best self and discover your confidence language at MyConfidenceLanguage.com.
