CEO OF TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS & SOMETHING EXTRA PODCAST HOST
Lisa endeavors to build a case that having a growth mindset might be
one of the most foundational concepts on which we should focus. We can
have a high IQ with intellectual smarts, a high EQ that allows us to be social
geniuses, but having a high GQ (growth quotient) enables us to be a better
version of ourselves each day
Each one of us was created with “something extra;” the difference-maker
in our DNA that defines who we are and how we were built to be unique. Lisa
challenges everyone to start looking for the “something extra” in others,
and also how to find those traits within yourself.
Humans are wired to seek comfort over the uncomfortable. However, we
will never fulfill who God called us to be if we get stuck in the comfortable.
Lisa shares guidance for how to choose the braver thing, the decision to not
remain stuck in the status quo.
Lisa Nichols is the CEO and co-founder of Technology Partners
(TPI), a Women-Business Enterprise and provider of premier IT
staffing, solutions, and IT leadership development. Named among
the Most Influential Business Women (by St. Louis Business
Journal), Lisa’s influence has been recognized by her peers and
greater St. Louis community.
Lisa and her husband, Greg, founded Technology Partners in 1994
driven by their passion to revolutionize the staffing industry with
their transparent business model. They co-lead the business
today. Greg and Lisa have made it their priority from day one

The Something Extra podcast was inspired by Lisa’s youngest
daughter, Ally who has Down syndrome. She scientifically has an extra
21st chromosome but has many “something extras” like extra love and
compassion, intuition and, in her words, “moves.” This is a leadership
podcast where she interviews leaders from all walks of life to learn
from them what it takes to be a leader in today’s marketplace. To date,
they have had over 30,000 downloads of the podcast, and reach is
continuing to grow all the time. “Something Extra” can be found on
every podcast platform.
