  • “Our associates have had glowing reviews about the group training and one on one sessions with Lisa Richard. To add my own personal experience as well, Lisa was incredible. By far and away the easiest facilitator and coach I have worked with. She had true mastery over the subject matter and delivered the presentation in a way that was so effortlessly engaging. I would love to work with Lisa again in the future. Lisa is an incredible face for Spoken with Authority and is truly a gem.”

  • “Lisa Richard's support and coaching was instrumental in making my speaking engagements at our annual conference a success. She gave me tangible guidance and advice on incorporating story-telling into my presentations, actionable tips and strategies for presenting off-script, and strong advice for how to get in the right mindset and energy level for my presentations. I used these strategies for my presentations at our annual conference, which I delivered without reading a script, and they went so well! I’m so happy to have had my coaching with Lisa and to receive tangible and actionable support that will help me as I continue with my public speaking journey.”
