“The Retail NZ team absolutely love working with Lisa – she was the perfect fit as MC for our 2015 Top Shop Awards. Her high energy style, coupled with an intimate knowledge of just about every aspect of the retail mix from both sides of the counter, was sprinkled with just the right amount of irreverent humour and shopping insights for a nationwide audience. She had retailers, big and small alike, up and down the length of the country, chuckling at her local and international customer service anecdotes, as well as sharing perhaps the single biggest secret tip that gets her handing over her credit card in-store every time. “Tell them it’s the last one….in New Zealand! It works on me every time.”

Mark Johnston, CEO, Retail NZ

“The feedback from Lisa’s presentation has been exceptional. Lisa has a unique ability to wrap strong and powerful messages up in humour and personal anecdotal stories to which we can all relate. Half the time I felt she was talking to me personally and she softened the blow of each relevant home truth, with the opportunity to laugh and realise “I am not alone” as others reacted the same way. Lisa has a unique skill with regard to her style of presentation ability to connect and positively influence the lives of others. I learned so much, and I laughed so much – what a combination.”

Wendy Alexander, CEO Barfoot Thompson

Personal power

Learn how to be the best version of yourself.

In a world where we are constantly under pressure, pressure to perform, to achieve, to sell and to do more, having the confidence to be the most magnificent version of yourself is the secret. It feels great to look great, to feel congruent and to present your best self to the world. What is required is effort. It takes effort to look good, effort to be good, effort to get in charge of your life. Personal power puts you in the drivers seat. People who feel powerful make more decisions, take the lead and contribute to their organisations. It’s time to stop playing small, to be good enough and to take charge.

A session with Lisa on personal power will leave you feeling like making an effort rather than making an excuse. Getting in charge of YOU will be your greatest achievement!.

Lead yourself to lead others

The most important relationship of your life is the one that you have with yourself.

Lisa has taught 1000’s of people to learn how to be their own best friend.

Her workshops have changed how people feel, how they act and BE in all of their relationships. In our crazy, busy lives we have lost the art of  ‘being nice’, of being good friends, good family and good to ourselves. Being a loving human will be the greatest skill of the future, people who care, people who have confidence, people who live courageously will always have careers. Great leaders have self awareness, confidence and self belief. Lisa is passionate about creating inspirational leaders who are authentic and aware.

You can then do more of what you want! Lisa will teach you to navigate your never ending list of roles, to learn to let the small stuff go, and to start living a life that you love. An inspiring session for anyone feeling overwhelmed, Lisa is proof that you can live in organised chaos with a smile on your face!
