Lisa Tamati was funny, engaging, and also profound and inspirational. Good use of videos which really helped her story come to life. She was awe inspiring. So many people came up to me and said they could have listened to her stories all night. The time flew by. Her determination, passion, enthusiasm, easy manner and sheer grit is amazing. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Such a pleasure to have Lisa with us for our Regional Design Awards dinner in Wellington – she kept our audience enthralled and well entertained for the 30 minute guest speaker session – we could have listened to her all night! Her professionalism yet down to earth, relatable presentation style fitted perfectly with our evening and she tied in connecting with our organisation, relating to our members, their businesses and the team messaging. Very inspirational and we have received excellent feedback from our attendees. Thanks so much Lisa for bringing your story and energy to our evening – you are a very special human, it is an honour to have met you – you are definitely an inspiration to us all!
Todd Energy is always seeking to provide a range of interesting and thought-provoking speakers and presenters to its people, and Lisa’s presentation was inspiring and very well received.
Lisa called my the morning of the event to let me know she was going through a family emergency, to which I immediately assumed she wouldn't be able to make it, but as the strong-willed runner that she is, her perseverance shines in every aspect of her life it seems. She was extremely professional and her speech was the perfect fit for our event, many of our awards winners took on what she said and quoted her in their acceptance speeches. She really made an impact of the students.
Lisa was outstanding! Her enthusiasm and authenticity is second to none, and the learnings along her life journey shared with us last weekend had motivated our team and we walked away with MASSIVE smiles (and purchased several of her books - which reminds me I need to download her podcast!). We wanted an impactful, kiwi-born, full of heart speaker who can speak and relate to our team - she did that and more! We knew she'd be great, but everything was on point to the message we wanted our team to understand - working together, perseverance, routine, get-back-up, try again, you have a team behind you!! So that was amazing - thanks Lisa, thank you Steph & Rachel!
Lisa is an amazing, engaging speaker. Her stories were very personal, and quite incredible in terms of her endurance, inner strength and relentless drive, and she relayed them powerfully and effectively. The audience were totally engaged. We knew Lisa would be great but she exceeded our expectations as a speaker.
Such a powerful presentation. To get a standing ovation from our people was just outstanding. Thank you so much for your energy and telling your story with such passion
Having Lisa as our opening speaker at our conference was a superb choice: inspirational, authentic and engaging, relatable. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experience, and the reality that is your life - you are amazing!
Lisa was amazing, relevant, real, honest and engaging. She received a 3 min standing ovation at the end. Feedback has been exceptional. Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and stayed around to speak with individuals at the end. Lisa was one of the best conference presenters we've seen in years. So pleased we engaged with her!
Lisa was well prepared and arrived early test her presentation as it contained video footage. Our delegates loved Lisa's presentation and feedback has been very positive, stating that they felt inspired and for a couple of the delegates her presentation has provided the motivation to make some life changing decisions. We have used many speakers before and I would rate Lisa as one of the best that we have had.
Lisa had a fascinating story to tell of her courageous and adventurous life to date, along with sharing her very personal story of her mum's illness and the journey she and her family have been on together with this. There wasn't a dry eye in the room! Again, thank you so much for providing such an amazing speaker to open our conference she was amazing!
I really appreciated how Lisa adapted her presentation to work with the NZDF Trentham Mental Health and Wellbeing Week focus.Lisa's story and achievements are inspiring as well as an example of true courage and resilience. I would highly recommend Lisa for any group or organisation as her journey has something in it for everyone to learn from or be encouraged by
Lisa has made us step up. To see her dogged determination and inner strength facing the odds and knowing no bounds has placed any thought of ever giving up far from our minds. Lisa, we thank you for your candid honesty of the trails and trials across distances than no one of us ever thought possible.
Lisa is such an inspirational and passionate speaker. She has the ability to really connect with the audience and bring out their emotions. At several times during her presentation, people in the audience had tears in their eyes after hearing her incredible story of determination and overcoming the odds in the most challenging of circumstances. We haven't received such fantastic feedback for any speaker before!
