Your audience deserves more than the standard, forgettable presentation filled with generic tips they’ll never use. When you book me, you’re choosing a speaker who creates transformative experiences that stick. My sessions aren’t lectures—they’re interactive journeys where your attendees discover their own powerful stories, practice new skills in real-time, and leave with concrete tools they can implement immediately. I’ve spent years perfecting an approach that balances deep expertise with genuine engagement, ensuring your participants don’t just learn about storytelling—they actually become better storytellers. Your attendees will thank you for booking someone who delivers on their promises, and your attendees will be talking about actionable insights long after the session ends.
Power of Story
In a time of so much connectivity, there is, surprisingly, very little true connection. And, in a world of diverse perspectives and populations, stories have the power to bring people together. Relationships inform business decisions, yet most leaders focus on results over relationships when, in fact, one drives the other. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Stories are the currency of conversations that connect, and in today’s economy, storytelling has become a vital skill for any modern-day leader.

The Power of Story: Turn Expertise into Influence
In a time of so much connectivity, there is, surprisingly, very little true connection. And, in a world of diverse perspectives and populations, stories have the power to bring people together. Relationships inform business decisions, yet most leaders focus on results over relationships when, in fact, one drives the other. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Stories are the currency of conversations that connect, and in today’s economy, storytelling has become a vital skill for any modern-day leader.
When people share their stories into the world, everything gets better, from team engagement to customer experiences to revenue. This session sets the groundwork for conversations that get people to care. And when we care, we take action. Learning from the most iconic storytellers who are changing the world for the better, one story at a time, Lisa’s session is high-energy and interactive.
The Persuasive Power of Personal Stories
There is a lot of discussion around the power of storytelling. Experts will give you a complex 12-step process to crafting the perfect oh so easy story. I think there is a simpler approach. When we understand what makes stories so powerful, it helps us understand how to craft them. More importantly, we have to ask ourselves some important questions so we can first, overcome the fear of talking about ourselves, secondly, decide what about us we will share, and three, make it relevant. So, join Lisa Gerber for some learning, discussion and interaction. You’ll leave inspired to use story in your own branding and to help your clients with their storytelling. You’ll see some examples of powerful personal stories, have time to work on your own, and learn some activities that help you and your clients tell the many stories each of us has. The stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we tell others impact the way we show up in this world. Lets make the change we want!

“I was in your Reno audience, and two elements of your talk really resonated with me (and, I believe, with most of the people here). Both were your personal stories. The first, ‘fessing up to a previous blunder in a previous job, carried an immediate payoff, followed by a dynamic finish to the whole talk. And the second personal story defined in a visceral way exactly what we all want from companies that do us wrong.”
“Your talk on storytelling was off the charts! It was exactly what I needed to hear right now.” – Kelly O’Malley, Investment Advisor Representative, OakBrook Wealth Management
