Lisa Monks is an exceptional presenter and fellow explainer — clear, structured, and wonderfully engaging. Lisa's contribution was a total standout: step-by-step, super easy to follow, and packed with practical gems. Watching her demo how she uses tools like NotebookLM for in-depth learning was pure magic. My clients were like hungry chickies in the nest, eagerly soaking it all up. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her for AI tools training.

There is nothing this lady can't do. Always happy to help, always ahead of the game, always sharing information in a practical and easy-to-understand manner.
Michelle Behsman - Study Cairns
Lisa's practical workshop on 'NotebookLM: Your AI thought leadership companion' was a standout. She transformed an audience that had mostly never heard of NotebookLM prior to the session into eager users, inspired to incorporate this tool into their daily workflow. If you're looking for a speaker who delivers practical value, connects effortlessly with the audience, and truly gets the needs of small business owners, I can't recommend Lisa highly enough.
