HI, I'm Caliph.
I’m a motivational speaker whose mission is to #inspire people to reach for the life of their dreams, and then live it.
From Kindergarten to Corporate, I have a passion for speaking and helping people reach their true potential. And even more, helping them understand that they can surmount any challenge if they have a strong enough vision, are endowed with purpose, and are committed to being their absolute best.
I know this is possible because this is my story. I have the privilege of having achieved great success despite having to overcome some unfavorable circumstances. Despite having served as the Associated Students President at UC Davis, attending and graduating from UCLA Law School and becoming an attorney and opening my own firm shortly after law school, I struggled with unaddressed pain and trauma from my youth and my past. I realized that no amount of material success meant anything if I wasn't truly happy, healthy and healed. I decided to do the work and become the person I was meant to be. I stopped chasing success and drugs as a distraction and went to work on myself. I realized that I was in complete control of everything from my happiness to my income. And I began to shape the life that I discovered I wanted, after doing a ton of work to figure out who I really was. Now I truly know and truly love myself, and that's the biggest victory.
Throughout the difficult times, however, I was focused on one thing: SERVICE. Regardless of whose expectations I was trying to meet, I always knew deep down that my role in life was to help others reach their potential. My purpose is to help you be the best that you can be! I used to do this as a lawyer by passing laws to help people have a better first- and second-chance at success in life by lobbying for education reform, criminal justice reform, and supporting policies that helped small businesses thrive. However, once I went through my transformation, I realized the best way to help people was to help them understand what they are capable of and that no matter what challenges they face, they can be successful. In the process, I found my love for speaking and personal development and that's what brought me, and you, here today. It would be my pleasure to serve your organization.
Though I'm no longer focused on my awards and honors, I'm glad to have been recognized again and again for my service--I was doing something right! But now I take pride in standing on stage and watching lives change before my very eyes. That's real service. Learn more about my story below! And explore this site to see how I'm making an impact!
