Lisa's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

Good Ripple Effect: Building A Positive Culture

Lisa Even explores how cultural drift, low morale, and everyday negativity quietly undermine performance, especially in fast-moving, resource-strained workplaces. She reveals how attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs shape far more than daily metrics, and how intentional leadership creates a ripple effect that strengthens trust and collaboration. With her trademark energy and clarity, Lisa equips attendees to recognize cultural blockers, reset team dynamics, and build environments where engagement becomes a natural driver of results.

Building Self-Aware Leaders And Teams

Lisa Even examines how low self-awareness in leaders fuels tension, disengagement, and miscommunication, eroding even the strongest of teams. She shows how energy, expression, tone, and intention influence every interaction, and how emotional intelligence becomes a practical tool rather than an abstract ideal. Blending research with relatable storytelling, Lisa helps participants understand how they truly show up, identify unhelpful patterns, and adopt a responsible presence that transforms the way people connect, collaborate, and respond.

Living In The Lab: Building Engagement-Driven Teams

Lisa Even tackles the growing challenge of complacency and inconsistent performance, showing how unintentional leadership behaviors can suppress curiosity, creativity, and initiative. She encourages teams to adopt a laboratory mindset where experimentation, contribution, and safe risk-taking become everyday norms. With vivid examples and an encouraging, practical tone, Lisa helps participants understand what sparks motivation and equips them to cultivate a culture where ideas flow, ownership increases, and engagement becomes the foundation of performance.

Joy Is My Job: Building Accountability Of Joy

Lisa Even addresses the misconception that enjoyment at work is optional, highlighting how busy environments, rising burnout, and shifting pressures often drain energy and connection. She shows how joy acts as a commercial advantage rather than a perk, and how simple, consistent habits can transform the workplace experience. Drawing on her signature concepts and warm humor, Lisa demonstrates how both leaders and team members can take responsibility for fostering joy, strengthening morale, creativity, and long-term retention.

Leading Through Change Without Burnout

Lisa Even provides leaders with a human-centered approach to navigate continuous change while maintaining team cohesion. By integrating behavioral science with her extensive Fortune 500 leadership experience, she offers practical tools to minimize resistance, sustain energy, and ensure team alignment during periods of rapid change and uncertainty. Attendees will learn effective strategies for leading change that genuinely resonate with their teams, fostering engagement and collaboration in challenging environments.

What is Lisa Even's speaking style like?

What topics does Lisa Even specialise in?

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
