The Human Side of Business
In a world where businesses often chase numbers and margins, I’m here to remind you: your people are the bottom line. Behind every successful organization is a culture that values connection, contribution, and genuine appreciation.
Drawing from my family’s experience running a small business that survived an economic collapse, I share real, relatable stories that show how putting people first—especially in times of uncertainty—builds loyalty, resilience, and results.
This isn’t about trendy perks or surface-level solutions. It’s about creating an environment where employees feel seen, heard, and excited to show up. Through humor, storytelling, and practical tools, I help leaders build cultures rooted in trust, transparency, and yes—even a little fun.
Imagine a workplace where your team rallies together during tough times, where collaboration beats burnout, and where people want to stay—not just because they have to, but because they feel connected to something meaningful.
Let’s shift the narrative from retention panic to engagement strategy. Hire me as your speaker to spark a movement in your organization—one that’s driven by purpose, powered by people, and built to last.
Everyday Customer Service
Everyone talks about how important customer service is more than ever these days. We go out for dinner; we expect good customer service. We have someone come to our home to clean or fix something; we expect good customer service. We go to the grocery store, the doctor, the dry cleaners and so many other places. We expect good customer service.
I’m going to challenge you in a couple ways. First, I think customer service should happen everywhere, every day with everybody. Next, I think we can ALL exhibit customer service in every aspect of our lives.
Why is this program important? It’ll change everything you do and your perspective on the world.
PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES:
- INTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE- your team members. If they’re happy, your business is more successful.
- EXTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE- your clients, end users. Happy clients come back and tell others, better bottom line.
- PERSONAL- people outside of your workplace, the person in the grocery store, the elevator, etc. When we are kind to others, we feel good.
- RELATIONSHIPS- our families, our significant others. When our relationships are out of whack, chances are we are too.
- YOU- too often we neglect to give ourselves the proper attention and “customer service” we deserve. If we don’t take care of us, we won’t be able to take care of others.
- THE WORLD- what if we all gave everyone the “best customer service” we could. This world would be a different place.
Testimonials
I highly recommend Lisa as an emcee or keynote speaker. She was effective in seamlessly weaving together the conference theme and keynote topics, ensuring a cohesive and engaging experience. Lisa’s inclusive approach kept the event flowing smoothly, and her presentation at our HR Summit was both inspiring and practical, making it easy to apply the concepts she shared. She was a pleasure to work with—professional, friendly, and always ready to assist with last-minute needs. - Becky Rogers, Mosaic
Lisa did a fantastic job at our women in industry event. She was funny, she was serious, she was insightful—and she immediately connected with our attendees. They were all talking about the “mean friend” the whole rest of the conference! - Liz McCabe, Vice President of Foundation Operations & Association Programming, Associated Equipment Distributors
Lisa genuinely connected with our chapter regarding goal setting, commitment, and overcoming obstacles to help light our member’s paths in achieving our personal/professional goals. She spoke about perseverance and how to break down your goals into manageable components effectively. She’s fun, unique, and relevant. Her effortless style makes learning a delight!” - Kari Korrell, Human Resources Association of Treasure Valley
From the moment we booked Lisa, she was responsive, engaged, and we could tell that she truly cares about her audience. She took time to connect with our attendees one-on-one before and well after her keynote during our conference activities. This is something our attendees greatly appreciate and well as being able to take away a practical action they can use in their daily lives. Lisa delivered on both and was fantastic to work with! - Sam Roccapriore, CMP, New England Resident Service Coordinators
Lisa generously presented to our professional organization on the ‘small magic of goal setting.’ Her energy and passion are contagious, and her interactive presentation was evocative and motivating. She created a safe space for participants to share and be vulnerable, so much so that I committed to train and participate in a half-marathon this year! We need more motivational leaders and like Lisa in this world. - Veronica Villasenor, President, San Diego Chapter, Association for Financial Professionals
