I attended Lisa’s Communicate with Influence Workshop. It was fun, dynamic and highly engaging. Not only is Lisa a wealth of knowledge, she has lots of excellent ideas on how to deliver an effective talk with the use of stories, and by capturing the hearts and minds of the audience. The big revelation for me is that we all have the potential to influence the world simply through the effectvie use of our voice and body language.

The workshops delivered by Lisa Evans were invaluable, not just for myself but for all participants. Our main focus with Lisa was our presentation skills and public speaking. I found Lisa to be a particularly warm and insightful coach, who encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone in order to perform to the best of my ability. The growth and confidence I saw in myself and my peers after two sessions with Lisa was remarkable. Lisa makes it easy for people to relate to her through her stories. She inspired me to put my best foot forward and know that I can achieve so much more if I believe in myself.
Lisa Evans helped me polish the script for my recent TEDx talk and it made a world of difference. She not only made suggestions on how to make it more relevant to a worldwide audience, (Once the video is posted the audience expands) but also made several suggestions to improve the flow. Most importantly she suggested I move something around to make my ending more uplifting and inspiring. To top it off she did this over a weekend and several time zones away. Lisa has a great personality and gives feedback not only in a clear way but also gives you the why behind the suggestion. The next time I have a major speech I’ll be reaching out to Lisa again.

Lisa Evans did a phenomenal job coaching TEDx UWA speakers. She worked around busy schedules to transform them into confident and eloquent TEDx speakers. My team and I were particularly impressed by her ability to help them develop a naturally engaging style, and turn some promising ideas into a story that had the entire audience on the edge of their seats. It has been a privilege having Lisa on the TEDx UWA team this year, and we look forward to seeing her work magic on many speakers to come!
I first met Lisa Evans five years ago and have continuously been impressed by her absolute professionalism, clarity of focus and passion for storytelling. Lisa magically manages to get on and organise events with ease and confidence. She is remarkably through at organising sold-out storytelling events. Lisa somehow manages all the individual storytellers with complete comfort. Because of that, she has developed a strong storytelling tribe throughout WA and also online. Lisa has garnered a reputation as a speaker coach for TEDx events and leadership development. Lisa is passionate about enabling people to share their stories and to step up and develop their public speaking confidence. If you know anyone who wants to be a more compelling speaker I would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa Evans of Speaking Savvy as a public speaking coach, keynote speaker, or MC.
Lisa Evans was super helpful in my preparation for my public speaking event at a large national finance conference.
She gave me a clear process to follow in preparing my talk, and was knowledgeable in all subjects inlcuding mental preparation, marketing and logistics. Will surely work together again.
Coaching with Lisa Evans provided constructive challenging about how I framed my messages. The power of creating a human centred story to convey effectively a technical message was a big revelation to me. I will now take that insight into my presentations. Apart from coaching about the messages, Lisa also provided helpful tips on public speaking delivery, storytelling and stage presence.
Lisa Evans, guided us along the process from being a speaker to being a published author. I found working with her rewarding and exciting.
As one of the co-authors in the book Stories From The Heart, I found the experience joyful, easy and rewarding. When working with Lisa Evans, nothing was too much trouble. Lisa is always willing to give a helping hand and generously shares her expertise. Lisa radiates high quality in all her pursuits and her books are no exception. Being a featured author in a high-quality book has been a door-opener for me and I highly recommend anyone who wants to get published to be part of this opportunity.
I was honoured and excited to be invited to write for the book Stories From The Heart with Lisa Evans. I’d worked with Lisa previously to refine my storytelling skills and she’s made my first live storytelling experience so enjoyable, I trusted her to take care of my story.
Lisa’s authentic style reflects exactly what she teaches. Her powerful mix of creativity and logic are inspiring, and her desire to help me in my business is genuine and reflects her generosity in sharing her expertise. I came away from the workshop realising the value of storytelling and how we all have stories that we are unaware of. My 1:1 public speaking coaching session with Lisa was exciting and enlightening because she is a visionary. I am feeling very fortunate to have the privilege of finding out about Lisa Evans and Speaking Savvy and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.
Powerful messages can be brought out by storytelling and by having a strong personal brand. Lisa Evans’ coaching style and sincere interest in helping me achieve my best at TEDxPerth 2017 was invaluable. I thought that I knew how to talk and present, but with her coaching, I this took it to another level. I am reasonably passionate about what I talk about, but Lisa helped me take it to another level and not be self-conscious about it. Lisa helped to make sure that I was telling my story so that the audience was immediately engaged and wanted to hear more, right through to a strong ending. Thanks so very much, Lisa, for all your help, which will stay with me the rest of my life and makes me regret that I didn’t have this type of coaching much earlier in my life.
Storytelling is a huge part of my life and I thank Lisa Evans of Speaking Savvy for allowing me to tell my story in front of such a loving, open and caring audience. Truly the people she attracts to events are very like-minded people, so you can trust that Lisa will support you to tell your best stories.
So yes, it takes daring and courage to tell stories in front of an audience. It helps to have a good WHY behind you. Why would you want to share in front of a crowd? I used my creativity, curiosity and my desire to grow to propel me forward. And honestly, if you don’t wanna share, that’s cool. Being in the audience can be just as inspiring and to be honest, a whole lot more comfortable. Whatever you do, if you like stories from the heart, get yourself along to Lisa Evans’ Stories From The Heart events.
