Did you know that Women Speakers are in High-Demand?
Possessing strong speaking skills is no longer a nice-to-have skill set, it’s now a very valuable ASSET.
It's knowing how to communicate in such a way that not only captures attention but also makes a meaningful connection with your audience. Most speakers struggle with this and lessen their impact.
Research shows that women who invest in honing their communication skills reach higher levels of success, earn more income and become more influential.
What are you waiting for ?
Hi, I'm Lisa Vanderkwaak
(Pronounced "van-der-kwok". I get asked it a lot)
I love helping women leaders become exceptional speakers so they can stand out as the authority in their industry and make a bigger impact on the world.
Even though today I'm often referred to as a communication expert and a transformation catalyst and have had the privilege of coaching and mentoring 1000's of women leaders, communication did not come easy for me.
You see, there was a time when I was scared to speak up even in a small group discussion. It wasn't until years later that I realized that somehow I had lost my voice.

"I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Lisa's One Day Speaking Bootcamp.I almost cancelled the night before because I was so afraid of speaking in public. Boy did I learn a lot. I was so glad I went. It is a "must do" course for anyone having to speak in public."
I was a beginner speaker without any formal training. One of my biggest hurdles was preparation. After applying the tools I learned from Lisa’s coaching program, I now spend less time in preparing and feel more confident in what content to include and more clarity around the outcomes I want to achieve. I know how to give a clear roadmap to keep my audience engaged from start to finish. What I learned from Lisa really shifted my thinking around public speaking.
"Lisa is a tenacious pursuer of excellence.”
"Before meeting Lisa I had no formal training in public speaking but I knew I needed to start speaking in public. My goal was to gain confidence and become clear as to how to get started and what I needed to learn to be a great speaker. I understand more about what it meant to be a public speaker"
