“After just a few sessions with Lisa, I noticed a significant improvement in my public speaking and interview skills and my personal communication. She dedicates time to thoroughly understanding your organization, researches trending topics relevant to your business, challenges you with diverse questions, and provides detailed recaps after each session. Thanks to Lisa's media training, I now have the confidence I've always dreamed of for conducting interviews on live national TV shows."
Ashley Brown
Founder and CEO, Selfless Love Foundation
"I had the pleasure of working with Lisa, and I can’t overstate the impact she had on both my presentation and my confidence. She was incredibly supportive, patient, and insightful.
As someone who’s naturally introverted and prone to anxiety, public speaking has always been a challenge for me. Lisa didn’t just coach me on technique; she taught me how to manage my mindset. She introduced simple but powerful practices to calm nerves, ground myself before presenting, and connect authentically with the audience.
I’d recommend Lisa to anyone preparing for an investor pitch or any high-stakes presentation."
Polina Haryacha
CEO & Data Scientist, Cloutboost
"Working with Lisa was fantastic, and I highly recommend her. She took the time to understand what the pitch competition was looking for and how to best position my brand. Her practical advice and clear examples helped me strengthen both my story and my delivery, leading to a stronger pitch and a winning result."
Jessica Postiglione
Founder & CEO, Bonny
"I look forward to each interaction with Lisa. She takes the mystery out of presenting and arms you with simple concepts that build confidence in everyday communication while simultaneously making you aware of how you may be perceived. Her process and teachings are enjoyable and produce immediate results."

Co-Founder, GCX
"Lisa Elia’s expert coaching helped me to show up in a powerful way for my very first public speaking engagement in front of an audience of 40,000+ women. Lisa’s approach was everything I needed to meet the expectations of this women’s empowerment conference. The resources that Lisa provided served as a strong anchor in preparation right up to the moment I set foot on that stage. Working with Lisa each week challenged me to grow and to evolve in ways that I would not have ever imagined before now. I am beyond grateful for Lisa’s guidance, expertise, and support throughout this process. "
Natalie Sampson
DPT and Founder, Symmetry Physical Therapy & Wellness
"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!"

"Lisa is so knowledgeable, patient and a true expert in helping you develop just the right tools to improve your presentation skills and make you shine with confidence and energy.
Thank you, Lisa!"
Suzanne F.
"It was such a pleasure to work with Lisa! I had an opportunity to pitch to some investors, but English is not my first language. One of my business friends recommended strongly Lisa to me, and she was right, Lisa is great! Lisa is very patient and I am grateful to have her to guide me through the process. It’s a great investment!"
Celine Zhou
Owner, Delight Patisserie
“I was speaking at a charity event earlier this year, and the skills I learned from Lisa allowed me to give a compelling speech to a rather large crowd which included media coverage and two State Senators.
If you are going in front of the camera, giving interviews, speaking at a fundraiser or merely giving a presentation at a small board meeting, Lisa’s experience in PR, media interviews, public speaking, and body language will serve you well. She can teach you how to be a better public speaker and how to present the best version of yourself. I highly recommend her services.”
Gary W. Smith
Sales Manager, Mercedes Benz
"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."
Nadia Szold
Filmmaker and Writer
"I couldn’t recommend Lisa Elia enough. Lisa gave me the confidence I needed to break down any blocks and limiting beliefs I had around my pitch delivery and ability to articulate my message and tone. She is an empowering, thoughtful, and astute coach who does her research and has been supporting me in my fundraising efforts for my start-up, TEMPLA. I will continue to work with her as our company grows."
Lucie Dawson
Founder, TEMPLA App

"Hi Lisa!
The presentation was a success, and your help made all the difference!
One attendee asked if I was a professional speaker.
Thanks so much for everything."
Wendy Erikson
uConnect, Strategic Partnerships Consultant
“Lisa Elia has been instrumental in preparing our leadership team to tackle interviews across all mediums (live TV broadcasts, recorded TV, print, and digital media). Her friendly, but firm, training has helped to reshape the way we think about speaking to journalists – focusing on clear, concise answers to the journalist’s line of questioning as well as how to get our core message out to consumers even when not prompted to do so. The best part is once training is complete, Lisa doesn’t just leave you hanging. There is always opportunity for further follow-up and analysis to continue to improve our PR and media efforts.”
