Not a pundit's read. An operator's.
We're Not Going Backward
Ten years ago, traditional Republicans assumed Donald Trump was a phase and regular order would come back. It didn't. Lisa sees the same mistake now — leaders waiting out AI, waiting out this Washington, waiting for normal. This talk is about what the people already moving forward do differently.
Annual meetings. Leadership retreats. Policy conferences.
The One Thing a Machine Can't Replace
Everyone in the room has heard "AI is going to take my job." Lisa has spent years asking journalists, operators and business owners what makes their work theirs. She'll help your audience find their own answer — and use it before someone else decides it for them.
Communications teams. Professional associations. Staff conferences.
Seen and Heard
Reputation in Washington doesn't run on reach. It runs on relationships. From managing her first campaign in the New Jersey district she grew up in to the Speaker's office, Lisa learned the leaders who last are the ones people feel they know. Here's how they do it.
Executive teams. Government affairs leaders. Board meetings.
The Moments That Test You
On September 11, 2001, Lisa was traveling with New Jersey's acting governor. She watched what a leader says — and doesn't say — when nobody has a script. A talk on reputation under pressure, from someone who has been in the car when it mattered.
Crisis and risk audiences. CEO forums. Corporate offsites.
