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 recognise 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 behaviours 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.
