The subject was working, motivating and retaining Millennials in the workplace.
She was fantastic. She gave a presentation that was funny, engaging, data driven and inspired. And several attendees asked me for her contact information to hire her for their companies. I will definitely book Lisa again!”

16 June 2020 at 2:49 pmLisa’s second book, “Millennials Into Leadership”, is the next in a line of excellent publications that are critical to read for understanding effective management and leadership principles. As an ‘older’ Millennial, I wish this book were available when I took on my first managerial role at work. It is an invaluable resource and a must-read for ALL Millennials in the professional workforce today.

16 June 2020 at 3:15 pmI thought it was a great session concerning your thoughts on generational dynamics in the workplace and it certainly helped my thought process regarding the matter. It is amazing to me how different the thought process can work for two people who may be separated only by five or ten years…let alone 20 years! The workshop you presented, “Improving Communications Across the Generations”, really was valuable. Once again, thanks for everything!
