“"Lisa Guerrero has that rare ability to immediately engage and deeply connect with an audience! She was a keynote speaker for the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual convention and told stories of perseverance and professionalism in a male-dominated journalistic field. Lisa’s stories of strength resonated with our audience ranging from college students to retired journalists. She made people feel like she was speaking directly to them, not a large crowd. Her public speaking gifts were top notch and people clamored to buy her book immediately after the program, wanting a memento of the day. To top things off, she’s one of the most down-to-earth pros in the planning process. I’ve been doing this line of work for decades and Lisa hasn’t even a hint of entitlement. I’d book her again and again!"”
