Lisa is an incredibly determined woman whose passion for innovation and creativity led to an outstanding career in spite of the many obstacles she had to overcome.

"Every once in awhile you come across a person with both passion and purpose - that's Lisa Lloyd. Not only does Lisa know who she is, she knows how to help other's discover there potential and take action. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun meeting with a practical and pungent message."

How It All Began:
Lisa's success began with an idea for a barrette. While working in a high profile sales position, at the CBS affiliate in Tucson, AZ, consistently keeping her hair nice became a challenge. She often wore her hair up in a French Twist, however, the longer it got, the more challenging it became. After scouring stores to find a barrette that would help, to no avail, she decided to invent one herself. A short thirteen months later she had patented, manufactured, sold to stores and ultimately licensed the patent to Scunci® for 20 years of royalty income. The product is now sold in stores around the country and has generated nearly $15 million in retail sales.
In 2001 Lisa licensed 4 more products! Pop TopsTM and Soft ClawsTM went to Goody Products® and Weave~N~WaveTM and Bobbi SticksTM to Scunci®. In December of 2004, Lisa licensed the CO2 Sprayer. It has been sold under the Visage Natural® label as a body art airbrush and under the Mona LisaTM label as a craft and hobby product. Different applications provide individuals with a wide range of uses including nail polish, temporary body art, tanning spray, arts and crafts, cake decorating and much more!
In addition to inventing and licensing her own products, she has consulted major corporations like Scunci® and InventHelp® on how to increase licenses and develop new business utilizing intellectual property.
"One-Hundred percent of the evaluations rated Lisa as excellent! Women loved Lisa's personal story of overcoming the pain in her past, humbling herself, trusting her faith, and through it all, becoming a stronger woman - from the inside out! This year's program would not have been a success if it were not for Lisa's motivating and inspirational presentation encouraging women and young girls to believe in themselves and their dreams. I truly believe Lisa's personal story touched and influenced every woman in the audience!"
