The conference awards night (with Lisa as MC and host) went off with a bang, and certainly stirred up the males in the audience. I have had nothing but positive feedback.

Lisa was very inspiring and her stories were very interesting. Lisa was happy to do anything we asked of her to do and was very approachable. Conrad Treasury, Brisbane
Lisa was the perfect touch to our exclusive launch. Lisa was very well received and equally popular with the male and female members of the group. She won the audience over early. Her confidence and professionalism, combined with her humour and spark made her the perfect MC for the night. We will certainly be using her again. Jack Morton Worldwide
An outstanding, elegant and gracious host of the Ethnic Business Awards. Everyone agreed Lisa was just tremendous and I so look forward to working with her again. Entertainment Alliance
I could not have been happier with Lisa’s performance. From the very beginning I felt comfortable working with her because she was easily approachable, friendly and professional. She carried the forum easily and the audience responded very well to her. I personally had a great time working with Lisa and would be quick to approach her again for any relevant events I am working on in the future. Australian Sports Commission
