“Out of all of the speakers that we have engaged over the past number of years, I have never had so many individuals comment to me afterwards how much they enjoyed the key note segment.
Firstly Lisa’s energy was infectious. She can’t help but captivate the audience via her stage presence and her scary powerful swing. Her stories and messages were compelling to every person in the room which included: Millennials, seasoned employees and the upper echelon (GMs, VPs, Senior Account Managers) of our professional vendor community. I was also impressed by the level of research that Lisa had undertaken prior to arriving at our Conference. She had taken the time to learn about our group, my personal leadership philosophy and the values that we pride ourselves upon as we build our Western Canada team business culture. She truly went above and beyond. Just fantastic!”

“Lisa was one of the Keynote Speakers at our National Conference this past November and she was absolutely one of the highlights of the event! Lisa’s energy and passion on the stage was infectious! I was extremely impressed with the research Lisa did on the event and the lengths that she went to personalize her presentation to connect with our audience. Lisa was our first speaker of the conference and our delegates raved about her message and engagement with the audience for the rest of the conference. The standing ovation Lisa received was very well-deserved. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Lisa as a Keynote Speaker for any organization who is looking for a Speaker who will be entertaining, impactful and memorable.”

“Lisa ‘Longball’ was our keynote speaker and she took the time to really understand our business, who we are as a Credit Union and the goals of our program. She spent a lot of time preparing to ensure that the session was not only inspirational but also enjoyable. Lisa has amazing energy, a great sense of humour and has a very relevant and inspirational message to share. Lisa’s program was much more than a ‘motivational’ speech on change. It was an inspirational, energizing, and thought-provoking session that provided us with unique insights to prepare our leaders for change, stay motivated and focus on our ‘long’ game. If you are looking for a speaker to ignite your team, I highly recommend Lisa!”

“WOW!!! What a great Opening Key Note speaker. The audience was not disappointed as we all watched Lisa’s ‘High Energy’ presentation that kept everyone engaged, laughing and wanting more. What makes Lisa ‘unique’ from other Key Note speakers is her attention to detail. She did research on our organization and got to know a couple of our advisors and she incorporated this information in her presentation. She made it a point to interact with our advisors at every opportunity throughout the conference. Our advisors are still talking about how great she was. Lisa’s passion and energy for what she does is incredible and it shows not only her presentation but it is who she is as a person. I have recommended Lisa to other organizations and if you are considering hiring her and you need a reference, please contact me.”
