Lisa Ford

“We enjoyed Lisa’s presentation(s) very much. The feedback was very positive including things like ‘AWESOME;’ ‘Practical, challenging, upbeat and funny;’ ‘High energy, positive attitude – reinforces what we should be everyday.’ Lisa helped us kick off our long term goal – to be the best in our business. Her skill and enthusiasm brings the customer service message to life leaving the managers with high enthusiasm. More than that, her presentation is full of practical and down to earth points that we can implement tomorrow and share easily with others. We laughed and left with energy and motivation for our task ahead.” –Country Meadows Retirement Community

“As I told Lisa on site following her presentation, she exceeded my expectations and they were pretty high. We have received nothing but praise on her message and she did an excellent job in customizing her presentation just enough, that she connected with my group. I had a number of them advise me that they have heard a lot of speakers over the years, but she by far was the best ever on the topic of customer service. In fact, she did such a great job, that my Crawford Canada team would like to make an inquiry as to a possible engagement with her presenting to Canada insurance industry.” –Crawford Contractor Connection

Lisa Ford

“Lisa Ford has been the key note speaker at the past two Independent Payroll Providers Association Tax and Operational Excellence Workshops. It’s interesting to be the customer of a professional speaker. She definitely walks her customer service talk. She interviewed us prior to the events to make sure she understood what we were looking for in a Customer Service Key Note. She was able to tailor her delivery and her message specifically to the Payroll Industry. She gave us her full attention, 110% effort and then followed up with us to thank us and test for satisfaction.” –Independent Payroll Providers Association

Lisa Ford

“This is our 3rd JD Power Award, you will recall that our very first award was 4 years ago, then we missed it the next year by only 1 point. For the past 2 years we were fortunate to have the highest ranking.

“Thank you for delivering a spectacular Closing Keynote presentation at the Houston HR Leadership Summit. The responses have been overwhelmingly great! Your ability to engage the audience and keep their attention for the entire time speaks louder than words. I kept my eye on the audience – they were spell-bound with smiles on their faces. Your personality, passion, humor, lessons and coaching was certainly refreshing during these times in which we’re all experiencing. Your message integrated seamlessly with the skills and the experience of the audience.” –Houston HR Leadership Summit

Desi Williamson

“From our initial meeting, I was aware of Desi’s authenticity and quickly learned his life’s passions. He shared personal and inspiring examples that were real and tangible, and he took the time to learn as much as he could about our business and presentation goals. Whenever he had questions or suggestions prior to the Summit event, he didn’t hesitate to reach out and contact us. Desi’s delivery at the Leadership Summit was exceptional and nothing short of entertaining. He utilized props, video clips, humor, music and pictures to engage the audience in his powerful performance. His stories and learned lessons were practical ideas and things that the audience could relate to. Desi demonstrated how to inspire greatness within oneself and with others and also shared how to positively manage change. I highly recommend Desi and believe he exhibits many of the qualities that are essential to delivering powerful presentations.” –Wells Fargo & Company
