When your initials, LB, match your personal philosophy, you know you are on the right track. No matter where you live, or what you do, we all, every day, aspire to be living better. My workshops have this common theme and provide practical, motivating, advice to help you to be living better,
the only mistake is not to begin...
We all know that a great keynote speech is an important component in setting the right tone for your conference or meeting. I firmly believe in the motivational and educational aspects of humor and reflection. When an audience laughs, an energy is created that lifts spirits, removes barriers, and opens doors for more. While the topics are universal, every presentation from title to delivery is created with your audience in mind.

“The first time someone asked me to give a workshop, I declined. I had not thought of myself in that role, this was not something that I did. Thankfully, I did that wonderful thing we all do, I changed my mind and that workshop was the beginning of a whole new avenue to my career.
I have found public speaking to be incredibly challenging, yet I know that I can never stop. To realize that something you say, or the way that you say it, resonates with another human being helping them “live better” is a powerfully addictive feeling.
Some of the most important lessons I have learned from delivering hundreds of workshops are to use my sense of humor, to prepare relentlessly and to be passionate about your subject matter. I believe that people learn better when you take the subject seriously, however you don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Cheers, Lisa Bates (LB)
