Welcome!
I mentor leaders and changemakers to deliver engaging presentations for visibility, credibility, and influence.
What do I mean by "engaging?"
It's when your audience can't believe how fast the time went by because they were having such a great learning experience. It's when your participants talk about how much value they received AND how they're going to apply your concepts because you made it so easy and enjoyable for them to take immediate action.
Is this you? 👇🏼
- You have a valuable message you want to share with the world.
- You're an accomplished, successful professional who needs to step up your game because of a promotion or new leadership role.
- You're a business or nonprofit leader who’s tired of procrastinating, piecing together presentations with no idea of what actually works, or putting in a lot of work only to receive a lukewarm response from your audience
- You're an entrepreneur who needs a fresh set of eyes on your signature speech, workshop, virtual training or online course.
- You have the desire to make a greater impact on your audiences and achieve bigger business goals for your organization - and you know speaking can get you there.
I'm on a mission to help emerging and established
business professionals and entrepreneurs build visibility, credibility, and awareness for your work through engaging presentations.
Whether you're new to speaking or looking to strengthen your existing skills, I can help you deliver authentic, aligned, collaborative and FUN presentations using relevant, practical and useful content that activates the audience's emotional engagement and moves them into action.
Clarify your objectives and desired results for your presentation
Crystallize your core message and ideas
Structure your presentation for ideal flow, persuasion and meaning
Build in audience engagement to make your message and ideas memorable and meaningful
Develop practices to upgrade your mindset
Bring your whole self to your presentations
Perhaps:
- You've missed more opportunities than you care to admit because of insecurity about your speaking skills
- Your lack of confidence and conviction has highjacked your ability to deliver a polished and powerful presentation
- Your stress causes you to procrastinate, so you never give as much time to preparation as you need
One size does not fit all when it comes to coaching, which is why you get a tailored combination of expertise and tools that fit your unique strengths, abilities and style. There's no "system" or "formula," because you and I are individuals!
So... what are you hoping to accomplish?
- Refine your core message and ideas?
- Convey your message more powerfully?
- Inspire, influence and motivate your audiences?
- Tell better stories?
- Strengthen your delivery?
- Move people into action?
- Connect and engage on a human level?
- Transform your leadership presence in meetings?
- Use your unique voice to galvanize your audience?
- Speak with greater ease, authenticity and conviction?
"More intentional presenter"
"While I can’t predict where my opportunities to speak and influence might show up, or if this is even something I will pursue, I have become such a more intentional presenter at work and my decks are much more impactful.
I wasn’t sure in the beginning if the investment I made was worth it for this one talk, but truthfully the investment was in me, and the work we did and the tools you provided are being integrated daily.
I am really grateful for the work we did and my investment is paying off in ways I never imagined. Thank you!"

"I spoke TO the audience as opposed to AT the audience."
"I was running for a national elected position. After I gave my speech, a friend of mine made the comment that the main difference was I spoke to the audience as opposed to speaking at the audience... and that made all the difference.
It was more about the stories and words I used in this case, which was a vital part of my time with Lisa... crafting the words is just as important as the delivery."
Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN

"Helped me clear the fog."
"As speakers, we sometimes want to just share EVERYthing on a topic.
Lisa helped me clear the fog and gain clarity on the big idea of my presentation and then organize it into 3 main points.
Plus, she's just plain fun to work with! I highly recommend Lisa's work."

"The humanity and the story have to be central."
"I came to Lisa because I had a great speaking opportunity and I wanted to do my very best.
I tried so hard for two years to clearly understand what I know about my audience and what value I can bring them and then articulate it in a compelling way.
Lisa reminded me that the humanity and the story have to be central, that's what draws people and creates a compelling connection.
Working with Lisa, I felt like she completely had my back and I was in good hands. I'm excited to work with her again."
Steffi Berg Baker, CEO of High Net Worth Women Institute, family office consultant
"One of my best decisions!"
"I'm so happy for what I learnt from Lisa about doing presentations. I suggest that all who can sign up with Lisa and learn how to revamp your presentations to be fun for you giving them, and exciting and teaching for the ones listening!!!
Investing in myself and signing up with Lisa has been one of my best decisions!"

"Highly recommend working with Lisa."
"Lisa’s public speaking coaching services were fabulous. I’m an experienced speaker, but lean towards the professorial approach—which is not necessarily engaging. I reached out to Lisa when I was given an opportunity to do a Stanford MedX Ignite talk this year.
Lisa taught me to transform some esoteric concepts into a compelling story that pulled my audience along. I would highly recommend working with Lisa if you have an important speech."

"I know exactly what I need to do."
"I am so glad that I reached out to you for coaching as to how to moderate my panel presentation.
As a result of our conversation, I know exactly what I need to do to prepare for a focused presentation that will deliver tremendous value to the audience and set the panelists up to win, to create future speaking opportunities and new business at the same time."

"Nothing short of magical."
"Working with Lisa was nothing short of magical as she supported the speaker of our annual fundraising luncheon with their moving speech.
With Lisa’s professional and creative skillset, our event speaker (who was not a public speaker by any means) positively engaged with our audience in such a special and authentic way that her message helped our organization raise over $100,000!
Thanks Lisa, you’re an incredible speaking coach and I can’t wait to work with you again soon!"

"Hone your skill."
“In 2014 I made the decision to put some effort into improving my presentation skills.
After a couple of Dale Carnegie courses 10 years prior and several hundred presentations, I had slipped into a bit of a rut.
I knew I was weak with humor and analogies and hoped to find someone who could help in those areas.
I found Lisa via a Google search and sometimes you just get lucky. We spent a few hours on the phone during the winter of 2014 and did another shorter version of training in later months.
Beyond some pointers on humor and analogies, Lisa helped me recognize the importance of audience engagement.
Another area of improvement that I didn’t expect came in formatting much better PowerPoint slides. PowerPoint plays a big part in presenting my material, and freshening up the look has improved both my presentations and confidence.
Even for the seasoned speaker, I strongly recommend a few hours with Lisa to hone your skill. Thank you, Lisa!”
Steve Knuth, CEO

"I cannot wait to do it again!"
“I was completely overwhelmed and nervous when asked to speak in front of 1500 of my peers for the very first time. A brief consultation with Lisa and I knew everything was going to be okay.
In less than 3 weeks, Lisa worked with me until I felt 100% comfortable with my outline and 100% confident and ready.
I couldn’t believe it, that in such a small amount of time, I was 100% ready and I nailed it. Best part: I cannot wait to do it again!”
Lisa B. Weinstein, Esq., Senior Counsel
"More aware."
"The past four sessions have made me become more aware in terms of what kind of a speaker I am.
Not just as a public speaker, but as an everyday speaker."

Please consider your goals and intentions carefully. These packages are NOT for you if …
- You’re unclear about your purpose for speaking
- You’re not coachable: that is, unwilling to question or reflect on your current practices and mindset and take suggestions and advice
- You’re not open to trying new things that might be uncomfortable
- You’re not willing or able to invest time outside of our coaching sessions for homework, reflection, preparation and practice
- You’re not willing or able to come to sessions prepared
- You’re not willing or able to implement and take action on what you’re learning
- Your primary focus is on just “surviving” your next presentation and not on developing a lasting proficiency as a speaker
