"Lisa is a phenomenal communication coach who has identified the subtle yet consistent communication gaps that I’ve been struggling with for more than a decade. She has designed a curriculum that is perfectly tailored for me. Both my speaking and writing skills have improved noticeably after only a few sessions. 

 

She has helped me troubleshoot the problem areas in my pronunciation by using interesting sentences and funny tricks that actually work! She has also created real-world scenarios for me to practice my writing, and I’ve become more confident in writing emails to coworkers and friends in a very short period of time.

 

In addition to her professional excellence, Lisa is a great person to get to know. She’s passionate about helping immigrants who are English learners to break through barriers that hold us back from success. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who wants to improve and perfect their English."

"Lisa has an extremely effective coaching method that literally improved my quality of life both at work and at home. English is my third language. She helped me with my accent and story-telling which I credit to landing me a new job!"

I feel more confident, more energized and more prepared for my work every time I speak with her. Definitely recommend Lisa to anyone who hopes to improve communication skills!"

"Lisa is an extraordinary coach who created a personalized program specifically for me and my needs. I speak four languages and as a non-native English speaker, Lisa helped me to  adjust my accent and find my inner voice while still feeling like my authentic self. I’ve gained so much confidence and would highly recommend Lisa to anyone who desires to improve their accent and their ability to connect powerfully with their audience."

"Lisa is a true professional -- skilled in her craft, caring as much about the person as the end product; culturally sensitive; and fully supportive. The entire experience was tremendous.

 

Lisa is brilliant at honing and bringing out the best in participants' life stories and coaches in the most effective delivery. She challenged us to leave our comfort zones and to express our feelings in the most effective way.

 

I actually got in closer touch with my feelings about my own story."

"Lisa made it possible for our organization to start a storytelling program; first guiding and encouraging us to write stories, then curating, directing and producing live shows for us with these stories. The events she has produced for us have been beautiful touching experiences for everyone involved.

 

Lisa teaches our growing networking of women like us, educated immigrant women, to write and share our stories with others. She has shown us the value and importance of sharing and how to express our stories in a way that is authentic, inspiring and connects us all. ​

 

Lisa is not only a great listener, motivator but knows her business as an excellent curator, director and producer. We look forward to continuing to work with her to help more and more women express themselves and connect with others through their stories."
