“Lisa Martin’s Success is a Balancing Act seminar helped our group understand that small changes can make a big difference. Her presentation challenged us to really understand what our core values were and what our current value gap was, while giving us a framework to develop actions to move towards those values. The seminar was both positive and practical in giving us the tools to self-assess the difference between our needs and our wants, using this as a first step to allow us to achieve our own personal balance and success.”

“Lisa helped us assess our balance, visualize it and identify an action we can take to improve it. The process helped participants clarify what they can start doing to bring balance and success to their lives. That’s made all the difference.”

“Lisa’s program is retention tool with impact…as it gives women a real feeling of increased support. My biggest gain was recognizing I can’t be all things to everyone in my life and discovering boundaries for myself. I wish I had done this 15 years ago.”

“Lisa has great presence and connected well to an audience of professional women. Her ideas are good, her style was practical and she has good life experience. She created an environment where women felt comfortable talking about their personal struggles and successes. Everyone participating in the session walked away feeling like they had learned something about themselves and about how to better manage their lives.”

“Lisa provided valuable input and co-facilitation for an initial team building session with a diverse group of Faculty communicators. Her involvement led to a positive outcome and provided a strong foundation for this group working more collaboratively in the longer term. As a facilitator and communicator she brought a unique skill set to the group which was very helpful.”

“Deloitte’s success depends on attracting and retaining top talent. Lisa has helped us to better understand and support our working mothers. Providing these employees with a forum where they can explore and define a better balance shows that we value them. Our return on investment has been tremendous.”

“We offered Lisa’s workshop to our women’s network across Canada. More than six hundred women participated and gave rave reviews about the valuable work-life tools that were shared. In fact, 100% of those attending said they would recommend Lisa’s workshop to others at TELUS. For our TELUS women’s network this was a big win.”

“We brought Lisa in to support our women so that they will continue to grow with our firm. The dialogue Lisa creates around work-life balance is key to her success. Through stories and lots of humor, Lisa gave our women permission to be vulnerable so they could assess their situation honestly and come up with their own solutions. She also helped us foster a community of support within PwC so our women didn’t feel alone anymore.”

“With Lisa’s Success Is a Balancing Act, HSBC Bank Canada launched our first national program to support our female employees nationwide. With our vision to build an inclusive environment at HSBC where women can go as far and as fast as their talents and aspirations will take them, Lisa, as facilitator and coach helped us begin our journey. She has a high degree of credibility and integrity, and her passion for individual and organizational success is contagious. She quickly won over more than 400 employees across Canada with her sense of humor and her knowledge on how to increase their productivity and grow their careers at HSBC.”
