Keynotes & Breakout Sessions
Listen, I’m born Cuban and Italian and I came out speaking. I love talking with people and having conversations. AND I’ll talk to you about the complexity of cooking risotto to the sleeping habits of snails, if you want.
But let’s be real—you’re probably not here just because I’m funny or have great shoes. You’re here because your people are overwhelmed, your team is burned out, or your business is stuck trying to adapt to a world that won’t sit still. And you’re tired of hearing the same old buzzwords with zero results.
People hire me because I help organizations actually move through change—not just talk about it. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, leading a breakout session, or facilitating a full-day training, I bring energy, clarity, and a no-nonsense (but still fun) approach to the stuff that feels messy: leadership, communication, culture, and human connection.
My keynotes aren’t just “rah-rah” moments—they’re wake-up calls with a side of humor, packed with real tools people can actually use the moment they walk out of the room.
I show teams how to stop surviving and start showing up with purpose. And if I can make them laugh while they learn? Even better.
Speaking topics Include but are not limited to:
The Human Side of Business
Let’s be honest—business often gets reduced to numbers, metrics, and bottom lines. But behind every successful company are people. And when we forget that, we lose more than just morale—we lose momentum, innovation, and trust.
I’m going to challenge you to shift your perspective. What if fostering an inclusive, people-first culture isn’t a box to check—but the key to a thriving, profitable organization? What if empathy and appreciation were just as powerful as strategy and spreadsheets?
Why is this program important? Because when we prioritize the human side of business, everything else gets better—engagement, retention, performance, and yes, the bottom line.

Testimonials
Cindy Sexton
Executive Director at CEO Council of Tampa Bay
“The CEO Council of Tampa Bay required some Social Media training to get all of our social assets straightened out, initially. Phase two we need training on how to use our social media properly to leverage the technology and maximize our exposure and conversions. In one day, Lisa was able to clean up our platforms and get us to a comfortable place where we could utilize all platforms easily and with success. Thank you, Lisa! We would not hesitate to hire her again and have no problem recommending her to anyone needing assistance.”

“I attended a social media workshop led by Lisa Demmi in Tampa Florida. Lisa is a knowledgeable and gifted social media trainer and I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing her present in various environments and she always thrives. It is most impressive that she can engage the audience with her authenticity but also her keen ability to provide tactics that offers enormous value. I would highly recommend Lisa for speaking, training, and conference opportunities.“
Everyday Customer Service
Everyone talks about how important customer service is more than ever these days. We go out for dinner; we expect good customer service. We have someone come to our home to clean or fix something; we expect good customer service. We go to the grocery store, the doctor, the dry cleaners and so many other places. We expect good customer service.
I’m going to challenge you in a couple ways. First, I think customer service should happen everywhere, every day with everybody. Next, I think we can ALL exhibit customer service in every aspect of our lives.
Why is this program important? It’ll change everything you do and your perspective on the world.
KEYNOTE BREAKOUT
PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES:
- INTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE- your team members. If they’re happy, your business is more successful.
- EXTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE- your clients, end users. Happy clients come back and tell others, better bottom line.
- PERSONAL- people outside of your workplace, the person in the grocery store, the elevator, etc. When we are kind to others, we feel good.
- RELATIONSHIPS- our families, our significant others. When our relationships are out of whack, chances are we are too.
- YOU- too often we neglect to give ourselves the proper attention and “customer service” we deserve. If we don’t take care of us, we won’t be able to take care of others.
- THE WORLD- what if we all gave everyone the “best customer service” we could. This world would be a different place.
