Lisa is available for three formats: interactive workshops (typically 60 minutes), panel discussions, and virtual sessions. All formats can be tailored to your specific audience and event goals. She does not currently offer traditional keynote-style solo talks but can discuss custom formats on request.
Lisa's fee varies depending on the format, event type, audience size, and location. We ask that you share those details when you reach out so we can provide an accurate quote. Please use the contact form or email marketing@pearlsparkpages.com to start the conversation.
Yes. Lisa is based in Canada and available for in-person events across North America. Travel and accommodation costs are discussed as part of the booking process and are typically covered by the event organizer. International travel requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Lisa's talks are designed for women entrepreneurs, founders, and aspiring business owners. She also speaks at corporate DEI and ERG events, wellness and leadership conferences, incubator and accelerator programs, and women-focused community events. If you're unsure whether your audience is a fit, reach out — we're happy to discuss.
We recommend reaching out at least 6–8 weeks before your event to ensure availability and allow time for planning and customization. For large conferences or high-demand periods, booking 3–6 months in advance is ideal. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when the schedule allows — reach out and we'll see what we can do.
Absolutely. Lisa tailors every session to the audience and event context. She'll connect with your team before the event to understand your theme, attendee profile, and goals so she can show up fully prepared. Customization is part of the experience — not an add-on.
Yes. All of Lisa's formats are available virtually via Zoom, Google Meet, or your preferred platform. She brings the same warmth, energy, and interactivity online as she does in person. Virtual sessions are available to audiences worldwide.
For workshops, Lisa typically requires a microphone (handheld or lapel), a projector or screen for any slides, and ideally round or classroom-style seating to encourage participation. For panels and virtual sessions, standard AV setup applies. We'll share a full technical rider once a booking is confirmed.
Topics & Content
Lisa's core areas are: imposter syndrome and self-belief for women entrepreneurs; journaling as a mindset and business strategy tool; the inner-to-outer confidence journey; and PR and visibility for women-led startups. Her signature workshop is Journaling for Founders: Where Self-Belief Becomes Strategy. See the full Speaking page for talk descriptions.
100%. Lisa designs her workshops specifically for people who don't consider themselves writers. The journaling prompts are structured, guided, and focused — not free-form. Participants are often surprised by how easy it feels and how much they get out of it, regardless of their writing experience.
Yes. With over 20 years as a publicist for women-led startups, Lisa has deep expertise in PR strategy, media pitching, and building authentic visibility. Her talk Visibility Without the Cringe: PR for Women Who Hate Self-Promotion is a popular option for entrepreneurship and startup-focused events.
Brand Partnerships
Lisa partners with brands whose products and values genuinely align with her community of women entrepreneurs. Past partners include Samsung Canada and Jacob's Creek. She prioritizes brands in the areas of technology, lifestyle, wellness, productivity, business tools, and home — products she would actually use and recommend. She does not partner with brands that conflict with her values around women's empowerment, self-belief, or authenticity.
Partnerships are fully custom and could include sponsored Instagram posts, Stories series, LinkedIn content, newsletter mentions, speaking appearances with brand sponsorship, product integrations in workshop materials, co-branded campaigns, and giveaways. We build each partnership around your goals and the most natural fit for Lisa's audience. See the Partnerships page for more detail.
Lisa has a combined audience of 6,000+ across Instagram and LinkedIn. Her audience is primarily women entrepreneurs and founders, highly engaged, values-driven, and loyal. Quality over quantity is a core principle — this is a community built on trust, not follower growth tactics.
