Lisa Walden was a terrific speaker – she really took the time to explore our workplace culture, the concerns and needs of our personnel, and the specific challenges we face in advance of the presentation to ensure that her words would have the greatest impact on our internal audience. She was unfailingly attentive, energetic, and creative in her approach and her ideas. Our team is very receptive to new perspectives, but it can be hard for someone on the outside to pierce our bubble and speak our language. Lisa was able to do this and light a fire for future change in our organization.
