Johnna Joly , Founder, Round The Willow Tree | Round The Willow Tree
I recently contracted with Lisa Giruzzi to speak at an event that I coordinated. Working with Lisa was a pleasure. She was very professional and extremely flexible. In fact, she even stepped in to provide an extra workshop when another speaker had to drop out at the last minute. Most importantly, Lisa's programs were a huge hit with the attendees. I received outstanding feedback from participants of Ms Giruzzi's workshops. I highly recommend Lisa and hope to use her again in the future.

A workshop with Lisa will be transformative and help your organization or business in a way that you would never have thought possible.

Lisa provided training for our organization and it was excellent! Not only has it exceeded our expectations but it gave us the keys to unlock our organization's potential. It helped us identify where we have limited ourselves and how to get past those limits. Those who have attended our sessions said the training helped them both professionally and personally. Lisa is not only very charismatic, knowledgable and genuine but easily related with those who attended our training sessions making them feel very comfortable. We are a stronger, more viable team thanks to our work with Lisa.
