“Barfoot & Thompson loves Lisa! Her message, her delivery, her honesty, her energy and her wit. At our recent frontline day - for all our administrators across our branches in sales and property management, we saw so many lights ‘switching on’ throughout the session. Lisa does her research to ensure she delivers what is wanted and needed and ensures her message is pertinent to the attendees and aligns with the company values and the goals for the day.

Lisa O’Neill is truly a talented speaker, her energy and passion are contagious and her delivery is hugely informative and full of humour. We love her message on being kind to yourself and will be implementing many of her ideas into our lives. We have had the pleasure of hearing Lisa speak on a number of occasions and can honestly say that we would never tire of hearing her, for many of us at Barfoot & Thompson, she is the best motivational speaker we have heard.

Lisa has a variety of presentations, all delivered with the right level of energy, poignancy, empathy, humour and laughter aplenty and a few tears as we had our aha moments. Our goal was to have our administrators feel valued and appreciated. Lisa got that message across perfectly and made the day the success it was. Simply can’t get enough of Lisa or her message. ”

“WOW a night out with this girl and you’ll never see life the same way again!!!”

“Lisa spoke at our 2016 ASC conference for school administration staff . We have 300 women attendees and she was simply brilliant . Enthusiastic , passionate and joyful with a great message Lisa stunned our delegates with energy and a lot of laughs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa for any type of speaking engagement. We look forward to working with Lisa again at our other conferences through New Zealand.”

“The Retail NZ team absolutely love working with Lisa - she was the perfect fit as MC for our 2015 Top Shop Awards. Her high energy style, coupled with an intimate knowledge of just about every aspect of the retail mix from both sides of the counter, was sprinkled with just the right amount of irreverent humour and shopping insights for a nationwide audience. She had retailers, big and small alike, up and down the length of the country, chuckling at her local and international customer service anecdotes, as well as sharing perhaps the single biggest secret tip that gets her handing over her credit card in-store every time. “Tell them it’s the last one….in New Zealand! It works on me every time.”

“Lisa has a wonderful energy and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.”

“Having you as my mentor has been an absolutely fabulous experience and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. You’ve really helped me kick start my business and I don’t believe I would have made the same progress as I have without you. What I’ve really enjoyed about the time we’ve spent together is your passion and energy. You can’t help but get pulled into it on the mentoring journey. Thank you for the inspiration you have provided. I am very grateful to have you in my life.”

“I found myself laughing in my head all day re thinking all you shared with us last night, Lisa. Thanks for a happy, happy night.”

“I do not know where you get your energy from!! What an inspiration you are, haven’t enjoyed myself in SO long — thank-you.”

“Wow! “Energy, Excellence & Enthusiasm” ~ What a brilliant presentation Lisa gave to our helloworld group at our recent Frontliners Conference as a keynote speaker and let me say, she had all three of these in bucket loads, plus more! Inspiring, empowering and ‘bloody hardcase’ Lisa had the room in tears of laughter as she glamourously and energetically commanded the stage, capturing our attention with her pearls of wisdom, straight-talking attitude, experiences and humourous anecdotes. Lisa’s fun, down-to-earth approach in addressing her audience makes her instantly relatable and likeable; her infectious smile was able to ‘turn frowns upside down’ of even the most ‘miserable’ amongst us and moments of reflection for staff have continued since, as dashes of her strategies are put into place, working towards better versions of ourselves at home and for our colleagues and clients. Time well spent, thank you Lisa!”

“The feedback from Lisa’s presentation has been exceptional. Lisa has a unique ability to wrap strong and powerful messages up in humour and personal anecdotal stories to which we can all relate. Half the time I felt she was talking to me personally and she softened the blow of each relevant home truth, with the opportunity to laugh and realise “I am not alone” as others reacted the same way. Lisa has a unique skill with regard to her style of presentation ability to connect and positively influence the lives of others. I learned so much, and I laughed so much - what a combination.”

“Lisa is a brilliant thinker. Her ideas around how we all get to be the best version of ourselves are world class. As a speaker she is in my mind one of the best. Her ability to make us laugh out loud while letting the messages get in is rare. Book her to speak today.”

“Great Scott! Lisa is a powerhouse. She generated 7.2 jigawatts of energy and transmitted it virtually to an audience spread out over 32 countries. I needed an opening speaker to help my attendees shake off their pandemic blues and shift their mindsets to thinking about the future. Lisa kicked off the event and set the tone for a truly successful three days. She challenged them to take ownership of their limiting beliefs, cast them aside, and step into their power. She’s truly amazing.”

“Lisa is an exceptional presenter- high energy, strong clarity in her message, and definitely holds her audience. We were so fortunate to have Lisa present at the Impactology Live 2020 event. We look forward to welcoming Lisa back next year!”

“It has become a tradition at our biennial conference to have a Guest Speaker. This year we wanted someone who would offer some inspiration but also humor, something we have probably all lacked this year and the fabulous Lisa O’Neill delivered this in spades.

Her no-nonsense advice to living and living on your terms was hugely entertaining and engaging. She spoke feverishly for over an hour and from time to time would give away one of her many books to someone in the room.

She was the perfect comic relief after a heavy morning of learning which was so popular with everyone. It will be hard to top her attendance at our next conference in two years!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Lisa speak at our quarterly Inner Circle event after being recommended to her by a friend... Well, she didn’t disappoint!

Despite the fact that Lisa had to attend virtually via Zoom, rather than in person, she was incredibly engaging, entertaining and memorable.

The feedback from our members was all positive, with an average score of 9.8/10.

If you are looking for someone to add real energy and wow factor to your next event, even if it’s virtual, I highly recommend engaging Lisa, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you again Lisa for your contribution to our successful event.”

“I have known Lisa through Thought Leaders Business School and highly recommend her latest book Everything You Want and how to get it! With candour, humour and highly relatable anecdotes Everything You Want provides a roadmap for achieving what’s often seen as one of life’s key challenges – how to get what you want! With insightful questioning balanced with her signature entertaining style, Lisa O’Neill has produced a valuable reference book that belongs in the hands of anyone seeking to clarify what they want out of life - and to learn how to get it.”

“Lisa is an incredibly powerful and inspirational speaker. She cuts through the layers and connects on a level that anyone can resonate with. Her message is simple - and that’s why it works. Yet there is a depth, subtlety and sophistication that tells you a master is at work. What’s more, her bubbly enthusiasm and lust for life is infectious, and leaves her audience uplifted and ready to take on the world.”

“Lisa has mentored me for fifteen months now through Thought Leaders Business School based in Australia. Lisa is incredibly positivity and energetic which rubs off on all of the people who get the opportunity to meet and work with her. A major super power Lisa has as a mentor is the way she helps you unpack and simplify what needs to be done to progress in your work. Then Lisa’s positivity and support kick in and you feel like you can take on anything. Thanks Lisa for your support and encouragement throughout my TLBS journey so far. You are a breath of fresh air and I’m absolutely blessed to have you as my mentor!”

“Love at first sight! That’s what you’ll experience when you engage Lisa to speak. It happened to me. She is as silly as a two bob watch, at the same time as clever as a talking book. And she’s encouraging, funny, sincere, wise and winsome. LIsa is one of my favourite presenters.”

“If you are looking for an inspirational, motivational, deep thinking & challenging speaker then look no further than LISA O’NEILL.

Lisa presented at the New Zealand Kindergartens National Hui & AGM. She had us laughing, thinking & exploring possibilities. Her down to earth approach & engaging style captured attention & engagement.

Feedback about Lisa’s presentation was hugely positive. People have said that they have adapted & modified their approach to living & working as a result of her session. They are seeing great results & would not have made the changes if it weren’t for Lisa.

Not only is Lisa a fantastic presenter she is also a generous one. She remains fully in the moment throughout her session, she adapts & modifies her approach to suit the audience & she gives away some of her books - our people loved this.

Lisa’s preparation & engagement prior to the session is totally professional - she wants to get it right for you & she goes the extra mile to make sure she delivers on her brief.

I highly recommend Lisa to you for any part of your programme including after dinner speaker.”

“At the recent GSD Melbourne, Lisa shared personal stories and experiences that delivered universal messages about simple changes for improved health and well-being. Her no nonsense, straight talking style was refreshing, her observations about life provocative and her messaging memorable.”

“Only four words can describe her - “Lisa is a star”. We’ve had her speak at our conferences before and she’s always the icing on a wonderful day - bringing her amazing energy, humour and gorgeous self. If you’re looking for a show-stopper for your event - Lisa is the star for you!”

“It’s rare that you come across such a standout person like Lisa! I’ve had the pleasure of working in the same group as Lisa for nearly 4 years now and I can honestly say, when I know we’re going to be in the same space as each other, my whole world lights up. I love how open she is with her life in terms of taking what she knows and directing that very strategically in a way that will help others in such a positive, humorous and lighthearted way. She makes my day and when describing her to others, I can ramble on a bit because there is so much good stuff to say about her! I can highly recommend that for anyone who needs a keynote speaker to lift the roof of their next event, you can’t go wrong with Lisa.”

“Lisa is one of the funniest, most inspiring keynote speakers I’ve ever seen! Her ability to instantly connect with an audience, shine a light on the things they need to change and do it in a way that has them aching with laughter for the whole time she is on stage is something to behold!”

“Lisa is the Shiniest Star amidst a group of Shining Stars.

Over 100 of Australia’s and New Zealand’s best speakers, mentors and authors convene at Thought Leaders Business School every quarter to get better at their practice.

All of us look up to Lisa - her genius, unparalleled humor and ability to deliver a paradigm-shifting message from stage (and also privately, as she’s my world-class mentor) are second to none.
”

“Lisa O’Neill has been my Mentor in my first year at Thought Leader Business School and I hope its a relationship that will continue for life, not just as a Mentor but as a friend. Lisa is a very special human. One filled with hope, belief, energy, determination, deep wells of resilience and enough laughter to fill any room over and over.

Her belief in me, before I REALLY believed in myself, has been such a support through the challenges of game changing my thinking and turning my business into a practice. Her ability to relate, engage, challenge and invite people to step back and view themselves and their lives in new and different ways supports true transformation. I love her for her humour, insight and realness and the way she uses every ounce of herself to magnify the brilliance in others.

She’s an impact player and one you should want on your team.”

“If you are feeling unsatisfied, unclear or undervalued sitting down with Lisa is like discovering your very own fairy godmother. She is insanely real, refreshingly honest and most importantly the best cheerleader you can imagine, right when you need one! If you are thinking about getting a great mentor you’ve found one, I can’t recommend or thank her enough :)”

“Lisa O’Neill is an engaged thinker, inspired speaker and all around brilliant human being! She is wisely witty, unexpectedly eloquent on unexpected subjects and enterprising. Lisa inspires me to action! She will you too.”

“Lisa would have to be about the most influential person I have ever met! Her uncanny ability to cut through the crap and challenge status quo is nothing short of phenomenal. What’s key for Lisa is her insight into humanity, into our wonderful flaws and our tolerance for bullshit, both our own, and the stuff that other people throw at us. I have to be careful not to guru-ise her, but Lisa has done SUCH hard yards, is totally passionate about people being the best version of themselves and simplifying EVERYTHING to make it all meaningful. Apart from my own experience with her one on one in a mentoring capacity, I have seen her time and time again wow crowds in a compassionate, brutally honest, confronting and hilarious way. Just hire her, she is absolute GOLD.”

“Juggling in High Heels: How to organise chaos”. It’s a gorgeous book that I feel compelling to leave out on the coffee table! Part artistic statement, part conversion with a good friend who gets me, part advice, part motivation, part kick up the bum, Lisa’s personality shines through every page. My highlight page - ‘Your PHD (personal happiness development)”

“Lets be clear - Lisa is a bit crazy, but in all the right ways. My world is always better when I get to hang with her. When she talks about she does her marriage, I want to run relationship programs with her just to learn more about how she does it. I read her book Look Gorgeous Be Happy from cover to cover (don’t tell anyone), then gave it to my wife Trish who did the same. I had planned to spend ten minutes skimming through it, and couldn’t put it down. But don’t be fooled by the enthusiasm, or even the topic, Lisa has a deep, profound wisdom about how to lead a life that works. She is living her life by design, and teaching 1,000’s of others to do the same (including me). She rocks at every level, and you should most definitely work with her if you can.”

“Lisa is a world class speaker, author, facilitator, mentor, consultant & business & fashion ninja! She has the ability to engage with absolutely anyone which means that regardless of age, stage, gender, industry, intelligence, “criminal against fashion” or not - she is a natural motivator. Lisa is very clever & gets stuff done!
It’s not often that you find a speaker who is authentic & walks their talk - Lisa is worth her weight in gold. If you’re looking for someone to truly take your event to the next level or someone to give your team a nice “kick up the butt” all with a smile on her face (she’s armed with sharp wit & great lippy) - Lisa is certainly your gal! The challenge will be finding a spot in her diary. Highly Recommend!”

“Lisa changed my life…. I went for a drink after the conference with a heap of members & they were discussing her wisdom….. & it all hit the mark with them – given the year that they had all had.  I actually wrote an email that night to a client, and I was turning down the work because I realized that I would actually much rather spend the summer hanging with my kids, rather than working with a very difficult & challenging client/project!”

“Well what can we say but THANK YOU! 
 
BE Reconnected was a fabulous success and the feedback we have had has been fantastic – its seems that the Business Events industry were more than ready to catch up and re-connect after such a challenging 2020.
 
We truly appreciate your support of the event and thank you so much for being part of the day.”

“I discovered Lisa just last year but after diving into her webinars and info online I felt compelled to reach out and brainstorm the opportunity of having her visit the Wairarapa to speak.

She was incredible in the whole process from idea to delivery.

She is  a vibrant energy that you cannot help but get caught up in.
Come the event she delivered 110% 

The room of women who got to enjoy this amazing woman present the power of you were totally captivated by her energy, vibrance and passion for women leading their best lives.

She had the room laughing and nodding at the truths of how we hold ourselves back.
If you want to have an event inspire people Lisa needs to be on the list to deliver just that!”

“Lisa O’Neill is an extraordinary presenter.  Her energy is compelling and motivating; she is funny and richly informative. From a client perspective she is a dream to work with as she works hard to understand the client and their challenges and to say the things we cannot say. She and her team also massively supported us with all the technological challenges of running a virtual conference.  She is an expert in this space and helped us to achieve the best outcome possible - it exceeded our expectations.  Thank you so much Lisa and team.  I have no hesitation in recommending you to others.”

“It was amazing to see Lisa in action again! She’s just so dynamic and engaging.”

“Lisa is absolutely fantastic, so genuine, inspiring and engaging! Both our face-to-face and virtual audience absolutely loved her speaking and her energy. Her ability to use story telling techniques and keep her session very relevant to the audience and at the same time so funny and engaging is outstanding. Her energy, enthusiasm and sense of humour are so contagious . Thank you so much for opening our conference with such glamour and energising our audience for the rest of the day.”
