Senior Vice President of Media Training and Public Relations

Lisa’s passion is preparing both professionals and novices to own and excel at media interviews.  Combing her experience in television/radio newsrooms with more than 20 years in public relations, Lisa is able to remove the mystique and fear about media interviews, empowering speakers to execute outcome-based, authentic conversations that motivate audience change.  Her low-pressure approach to learning makes media interview preparation fun, applicable, and they result in immediate improvements.  Most recently she was invited to media train Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte on Alex Rodriguez’s CNBC series “Back in the Game.” Lisa’s training clients range from small nonprofit CEOs to c-suite executives at brands such as The Knight Foundation, The Miami Foundation, Joe’s Stone Crab, Bank of America, United States Postal Service,  Noven Pharmaceuticals, and Arby’s.
