Topics for Lisa Smith

  • Change
    Everyone one loves change when it’s their idea but how do you engage yourself and others in change that must be imposed, that’s easy – make it everyone’s idea.
  • Thinking differently
    The more expert we become in the way things are (best practice) it’s harder to see how things could be (next practice) – tap back into that creativity to see what is possible.
  • Innovation – the tricky switch from magic to logic
    Ever had a great idea but no idea how to make it happen? Action can be the arch enemy of big thinking unless you know how to master the tricky switch from magic to logic – the good news is it’s simple.
  • Future Community
    Every community has the thinkers it needs to regenerate if only they could think together, reimagine the future and take charge of their destiny. All it takes is the right minds, the right connectivity and the right tools!

Lisa Smith truly does put your mind to work.
Some facilitators take a passive role, allowing the team to meander through a strategy session without truly thinking through the big issues or making the tough decisions. Not Lisa. She operates much more as a partner to our organisation, helping us think, provoking discussion and working through tensions that had previously gone unchallenged and unresolved. And she does all this in a manner that is fun and builds comradery amongst the team. The Australian Conservation Foundation is better because of Lisa, she is the best investment in ourselves and our organisations future that we could ever make. I would recommend her to any organisation. (Just keep her away from the lollies)!
