Testimonials

  • Lisa's 'Discover the Joy of Hygge' program was excellent. Attendees were given ample time to ask questions and a list of concrete activities to get them started on exploring the concept. It was a big hit with our patrons.

    Winchester Public Library, Massachusetts

  • Your workshop was such an inspiration to me. You provided me with the tools to be confident in achieving my goals to be successful. I discovered the roadblocks that kept me from being successful, which opened the doors to personal achievement. Your workshop is a must for anyone starting a business.

    Workshop Attendee, California

  • I enjoyed the discussion about the simple living principles. As someone who works full time and is a caregiver, it is hard to find moments of peace or joy, but this feels like a roadmap of steps I can take to create a better balance in life.

    Connetquot Public Library, New York

  • Lisa Luken & Lisa Bianco received a perfect score from the 2019 Association of Personal Photo Organizers national conference evaluations for their business foundations two-day intensive workshop, “Clarity, Confidence & Intention for a Successful Photo Organizing Business.” We are thrilled to welcome them back to lead another business foundations intensive for our 2020 national conference.

    Cathi Nelson, Founder, The Photo Managers

  • We enjoyed having Lisa present. Many attendees expressed their enjoyment of Lisa’s program and several said specifically what a great speaker she was! Lisa is so down-to-earth, yet speaks with a gentle authority. Also, her handouts were great!

    Kennebunk Free Library, Maine

  • I would highly recommend Lisa to any group hoping to offer something about how to simplify your life, become more intentional about what you want in your life and then how to carry out those intentions. Lisa’s program included lots of good instruction, interactive exercises, and advice and handouts for attendees to take home to get started.

    Wells Public Library, Maine

  • Thank you for working with us! I really enjoyed your presentation. I think we all learned some great techniques to improve our leadership skills.
