“I started Lisa Elia’s media training timid and terrified of public speaking. There was a reason I enjoyed my place behind the camera, there was a reason I was most comfortable writing or working inside the one-on-one camaraderie with an editor. But… I knew I had to face the music once my films hit the public. 

Lisa held my hand and created a tailor-made program for me. She gave me permission to stumble, and because of that, I was able to witness the steep learning curve in the safe space she created. She not only goes into the nitty-gritty, she gave me the bigger picture. She provided effective tools that are easy to remember and that I continue to use. When it was time to get on stage for the Q&A of my premiere, I actually really enjoyed it. And now when I am invited onto a 2-hr. podcast, it doesn’t phase me. I just say yes.”

“As a first-time entrepreneur, I was overwhelmed by the thought of interviews and media engagements. After working with Lisa, I have gained the confidence and awareness to convey my message in a clear way, no matter the setting. She even improved my everyday conversation skills! Lisa listens attentively, will push you to your best, and she’s truly a master of her craft. What a game changer!”

You might recognize Emily from her appearance on Shark Tank. She got a deal!

“Lisa was fantastic to work with! She helped me learn to speak naturally from a teleprompter, which was no easy task. She was very flexible and easy to work with which made me feel comfortable so I could relax into the process. She also noticed the small details that made all the difference in tweaking my performance and my presentation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel more comfortable in front of a camera.”

“Lisa has helped me in a variety of capacities over the years, and my confidence in my public speaking skills has improved dramatically as a result. From helping me with my LinkedIn profile and getting my resumes and cover letters in tip-top shape to preparing me for job interviews and working through difficult conversations, Lisa is an expert communicator and helps me get my wording just right. Whether you’re working on a pitch presentation or trying to nail your next job interview, Lisa is the perfect person to help you prepare.”

“Once our start-up aired on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank, we knew that we would have our fair share of press. My business partners and I felt that we needed help with not only becoming more comfortable in front of the camera, but also in working together during group interviews. Lisa gave us confidence in not only feeling calm, cool, and collected in front of the camera but also in helping us learn how to talk about the company to the press. We conquered the press like pros and Lisa was the one who really helped us do that. We were very lucky to have found her!”

"If you are looking to set yourself apart from others on stage you must work with Lisa. I can't say enough amazing things about her, she is a life changer. Presenting on stage can be scary, she takes that fear, flips it on its head, and creates a message you will be excited to deliver!

Lisa not only guided me on being a better speaker and presenter, but she helped me flesh out my signature speech in an elegant, organized, and easy-to-understand process. I never imagined I could have such a powerful speech so quickly and easily. I had tried before on my own and felt all over the place, I had even taken online courses to help with this and had nothing to show for it. Lisa made me feel understood, comfortable, and excited about presenting."

“Lisa has media trained my daughter Beth and me for TV appearances on KTLA 5 Los Angeles and KCAL 9 Los Angeles. Her training was enormously helpful in planning our live demonstrations, during which we wanted to make sure we shared our passion for our organic ice cream products. Lisa helped us craft our message so that we come across clearly and confidently in TV, radio, and print interviews. Our media training experiences with Lisa have also had an effect on how we present our business and ourselves on a daily basis with fun energy, polish and confidence!”
