Verificado @forgoodpartnership.comEver since meeting Lisa, I have been inspired by her compassionate and thoughtful approach to her work. Last week, she facilitated a workshop for our University of Denver alumni group. The participants widely ranged in age and experience, but that was not a deterrent for this master coach. EVERY ONE OF THEM came out of the session connected to each other and with a different perspective on what might happen next in their careers. The energy was palpable and the group has continued engaging with one another. I am so grateful to have this lady in my corner and will continue to engage her amazing services whenever I can.

Lisa has a very unique and effective way of engaging with the audience during her presentations. Her questions are thought-provoking and lead the listener to consider how to best leverage their unique talents and skills in today's marketplace. We would definitely ask Lisa to help lead similar presentations in the future!

Lisa Conners hosted a workshop on podcasting for Street Entrepreneurs which was absolutely invaluable. One of our participants wrote: "Lisa's workshop makes me feel like I know where to start, prior to attending I knew I wanted to do podcasting but felt lost curating the immense quantity of advice columns on the subject." In addition to providing truly valuable information to our entrepreneurs, she was a pleasure to work with. Lisa's giving and peaceful aura is truly contagious and I can't recommend her more emphatically.
