Speaking

With travel budgets tighter than ever conference organizers and event planners are being asked to deliver more value to their audiences than ever before.  As you know, big ideas from big name speakers are nice, but they don’t necessarily attract a bigger audience or provide what your conference attendees want.

If you want an engaging and highly interactive speaker who is truly able to connect with your participants, I’m a good choice.  If you also want your delegates to walk out with practical ideas and actionable recommendations and have fun in the process hire me.

I am incredibly good at quickly understanding the client needs and culture.  Participants will often say, “You really understand what we do. Does you have a background in XXX?”  I also provide very practical, evidence-based strategies and technique.  Evaluations often say, “What great ideas. What Lisa said seems so obvious…now!  I can’t wait to try… ” And the best part is that all of my program include laughter and fun.

I help people with what they don’t know…that they don’t know.  (No, that’s not a typo…) We’re taught reading and writing in school, but somehow we don’t get taught communication skills. My Smart Talk programs fill that gap.

I help organizations increase productivity through improved communication skills.

Here are my programs I’ve delivered:

  • Purple Cow Communication: Getting and Keeping Attention

  • From Stress to Success: Handing the Q&A and other difficult situations

  • Tongue Fu: Dealing with Difficult People

Some of my programs I have been delivering consistently for over a dozen years, while others were limited run engagements. I’m always open to creating new if something I’ve written or spoken about resonated with you or your client.  To get an idea of the full range of topics and to hear me speak register free for my premium content. Since the only thing I have to sell is my reputation, I will only deliver programs that I’m confident will be successful.  In fact, I guarantee it.  Really, I have a money-back guarantee, but nobody’s ever asked for a refund–that’s a testament to the quality of my work.

Finally, rest assured, I always keep my programs up-to-date and fresh for the audience (and myself)! I always modify the content, the length, and the format for each particular audience through a pre-program process that includes interviews and questionnaires. Some of the programs are designed as workshops only, while others are keynotes, a few can be both (with modification). The extent of typical changes varies on the program, access provided to the client, and program content.
