Lisa Caprelli is a passionate academic leader, author, speaker, and songwriter who transformed her once shy nature into a vibrant career dedicated to empowering children and communities. Long before launching her beloved Unicorn Jazz series and other purpose-driven titles, Lisa Caprelli was already captivating middle school, high school, and college audiences with her dynamic keynote speaker presentations. Holding a Bachelor’s in Social Psychology and as the author of 23 books and songs in multiple languages, she now inspires learners of every age through programs that build skills for understanding emotions and relating to others—helping them celebrate their unique strengths and grow their confidence.
“We are all unique… like a unicorn: Uni-que.”
With over 27 years of experience in business, branding, and public relations—including representing over 150 CEOs and entrepreneurs with industry expertise—she creates dynamic, engaging programs that bridge Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and STEAM education.
Drawing on her Hispanic heritage, her work encapsulates her commitment to promoting kindness, belonging, creativity, teamwork, and resilience while fostering literacy and STEM skills.
Lisa’s journey is not just about creating content; it’s about making a real difference. Since 2020, she has donated over 10,000 books to children’s charities and hospitals, and her Inspire-Ed school author visit program has reached over 800,000 students. Her book “SKIP A STEP,” which shares leadership skills drives her mission—nurturing both emotional and intellectual growth.
Her innovative approach extends beyond the pages. During the pandemic, Lisa leveraged technology with her TV show, “The Thing I Do,” where puppets, storytelling, music, and engaging lessons provided a much-needed boost to teachers and students. Her programs have been highlighted in news outlets and celebrated by school principals and teachers.
Lisa’s work is deeply community-focused. She partners with PTAs to plan all-inclusive fundraisers and school events that are as fun as they are educational. These events not only raise funds but also build strong community bonds by celebrating learning and fostering real-life skills.
With a heartfelt call to “Be Bold Be Brave,” Lisa Caprelli offers every child the tools, inspiration, and support they need to overcome challenges and build a brighter future. Connect with her to champion children's futures!
