Lisa served as a member of the NY State Bar Association’s Lawyers in Transition Panel, The Next Wave: A Panel of Lawyers Who Have Tapped Into Their Passion to Find Success in Other Careers, which was held live in NYC and as a webcast online.

An interactive, inspiring, and informative presentation designed to assist participants in identifying their personal brand. Through interactive exercises and examples, learn what makes you unique, how to stand out from the crowd, and how to use your brand to be successful in your personal and professional life. Popular with audiences of all ages, including the youth market.

The single most important characteristic that separates organized people and organizations from disorganized people and organizations is decisiveness. In this entertaining and engaging keynote, Lisa will share valuable tips on how to effectively organize your time, space, paper and possessions by practicing good decision-making techniques, creating a system that works, and integrating the system into your life. This presentation empowers participants to discover their unique organizing style and develop organizing systems tailored to their individual work habits and life style. You will come away with great new ideas that will help you achieve results at home, at work, and in life!

One of the greatest challenges for busy, successful and creative people juggling several projects, talents and ideas is to live a well-rounded life. If only we could “balance” the creative and the practical, the personal and the professional, the urgent and the important.

If only we could do all that is on our personal and professional ‘to do’ lists while simultaneously attending to our health, nurturing our important relationships, and taking good care of our responsibilities. What if the whole concept of life-work balance is a myth that compels us to view an ideal life as a perfectly level see saw? On one side is your personal life. On the other side is your work life.

With heroic efforts, you can keep both sides exactly level. If one starts to tip too far, you make some kind of nifty move that balances them again. In reality, that perfect balance almost never occurs, except for those rare, fleeting moments when each side passes each other on the way up or down — and we’re often too frazzled to appreciate that brief moment of self-actualization anyway. In this engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking presentation, Lisa challenges the status quo thinking of trying to achieve the ever-elusive quest of life-work “balance.”

Lisa asks participants to shed their old way of thinking and embrace an integrated approach to the life-work model. She inspires participants to stop trying to balance the mythical see-saw so that work and family demands and rewards are exactly even and, instead, take steps to integrate the two for greater happiness and control. What’s special about this presentation is that Lisa uses her performance background to engage the audience with clever and comical skits that deliver a powerful message with emotional impact.

Lisa’s core message of Create Your Purpose, Live Your Passion helps audience members tap into their Renaissance spirit, and consider dreams never realized and possibilities never investigated due to limiting beliefs that cause us to hold back, give up, and play small. Through her own experience of following her dreams, and incorporating her passions into her career and business, Lisa shows the incredible strength and courage inside of us all just waiting to be ignited. Lisa says “Living your passion takes risk, but that risk is a small price to pay for being able to avoid a watered down version of your life and work!”

This workshop is similar to the other organizing and time management workshops that Lisa offers, but is specifically geared towards lawyers and the nuances of the work, billable hours, and professional demands that they face. This workshop can be offered for continuing legal education credit, as Lisa has been approved as a CLE provider in the past and is willing to work with your group to obtain approval for your event. This fast-paced and entertaining seminar provides practical techniques for managing time, paper, information, projects and yourself. Enhance your organizational and time management skills to become more productive, achieve your priorities and make more time for yourself. As someone that practiced law for almost a decade in law firm and in-house settings, this is one of Lisa’s signature programs. It has been presented as an in-house training program to partners, practice groups, associates, paralegals, professional development and administrative staff. Sometimes a law firm decides to focus the training on a particular group, such as senior associates, practice group leaders or brand new associates. On other occasions, such as at an off-site firm retreat, all lawyers in the firm or a practice group will participate. The program is customized for each firm through preparatory telephone interviews with selected lawyers and staff in order to obtain a cross-section of concerns to focus the training on the most important issues.
