Here's what attendees and meeting planners have to say:

R. Leal Virgin Hotels CEO:  “The facilitation of the Model of Human Behavior (which emphasized the value of using D.I.S.C. Assessments) was always engaging and educational and provided ease of application to improve internal working relationships and teams.”

Dr. Robert Wright:  "… I have to say that yours was one of the best … presentations I have ever seen! Definitely on point hitting on all cylinders. … laying out the distinction for task oriented D & C types – Know/Trust/Like instead of the standard Know/Like/Trust model is an amazing insight and I believe quite accurately portrays how things work in the real world.”

Beverly Beattie, CEO, Selden Beattie Benefit Advisors:  “… it was such a pleasure participating in your session on Generations.   I actually learned A LOT! … we took some of the points we learned and incorporated it into a presentation we gave the next day… Good stuff!”

Laurie Glover, President, QSTS, Inc: “…As a professional facilitator and public speaking coach, I am frequently amazed at the lackluster content and delivery of many, if not most, presenters. Not Lisa!! As the audience entered the room, she engaged all of us immediately by encouraging everyone.”

Michael Samach, Fort Lauderdale Chapter, Financial Executives Networking Group (FENG):  “I received a bunch of great feedback on the presentation tonight. You showed a thorough command of the subject matter and was able to really engage the group. Please feel free to attend any future meetings, and if you need a reference for a speaking engagement please don’t hesitate to give them my contact info.”
