Lynne Twist biography
For more than four decades, speaker Lynne Twist has worked at the intersection of money, meaning, and social change. A global activist, author, and consultant, she has devoted her career to alleviating poverty, ending world hunger, empowering women and girls, advancing social justice, and protecting the environment. Her work spans grassroots communities, nonprofit leaders, global philanthropists, and international institutions, giving her an unusually deep understanding of how people relate to money and how that relationship shapes societies.
Twist’s perspective was forged in the field. She has worked alongside humanitarian figures in settings ranging from Mother Teresa’s work in Calcutta to refugee camps in Ethiopia and Amazon rainforest communities defending their territory. That on-the-ground experience taught her to draw clear connections between how resources are allocated, the values people hold, and collective wellbeing.
Aligning Money, Values, and Leadership for Lasting Impact
She is the founder of the Soul of Money Institute, a global platform that helps individuals and organizations align their financial resources with their deepest values. Through workshops, retreats, coaching, and keynotes, she has worked with more than 100,000 people across over 50 countries on conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning, fundraising with integrity, and building a healthy relationship with money. She is also a co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, which partners with Indigenous peoples of the Amazon.
Her writing has shaped contemporary thinking on money and purpose. As one of Aurum’s bestselling author speakers, she wrote the award-winning classic The Soul of Money, translated into nine languages, and more recently Living a Committed Life, a guide to finding freedom in a purpose larger than oneself.
As a speaker, Lynne Twist brings clarity to complex conversations about resources, integrity, and systems change, helping leaders and teams move beyond transactional thinking to the deeper human motivations that drive sustainable impact. Learn more through the Soul of Money Institute.
