Summary
Hi! Welcome to my profile! I know you’re busy, so here’s a quick FAQ for YOU: HEY, LIS! WHY DO WELL-KNOWN COMPANIES BOOK YOU FOR KEYNOTES & TRAINING PROGRAMS? Well, let’s see…I always do my best to deliver fun, motivational, inspirational, & educational programs. And my clients and attendees will vouch that I focus on EDU-tainment…that means I promise YOUR audience will learn a lot AND have fun, in-person or virtually! OK. THAT’S NEAT, BUT WHAT’S YOUR EXPERTISE? I'm passionate about empowering, educating, and inspiring Women, and the Workforce, to be exceptional Leaders, so that's become a focus for me. But my charter isn’t just about helping them improve mindset! It’s about making a positive impact in workplace culture, because when you have more effective Leaders, you have happier employees. COOL. WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR CLIENTS? I’ve been fortunate to get booked by many well-known orgs, often repeatedly, such as: Pfizer, Salesforce, Wyndham Resorts, eBay, Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, PayPal, USC, SHRM, and the National Diversity Council. I was even booked by the Gov't of Brunei, to speak IN Brunei, at their first-ever Women's Leadership Conference! That rocked. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR COACHING? I’m a Certified Leadership & Success Coach and I received my certification through an intensive training program accredited by the International Coach Federation. ANYTHING ELSE WORTH NOTING? Here’s a fun fact! I've been interviewed by countless media, including: ABC, NPR, MSNBC, CBS, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, Human Resource Executive, Monster.com, CollegeRecruiter.com & HR.com. And I met Hoda :) OH, WAIT. WHAT ARE YOUR BOOKS? I have four on Amazon: “Your Employee Brand is in Your Hands”; “Millennials into Leadership”; “Millennials Incorporated”; and “Boomers into Business”. And L & D folks often contact me to order 'em in bulk for their programs, so that’s pretty cool. OH, WAIT. ONE MORE QUESTION…WHAT KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS DO YOU OFFER? Go to my website: TheOrrellGroup.com. You’ll find them all there along with vid clips. Thanks for dropping by and I look forward to hearing from you!
