For over fourteen years, Lisa Raines has helped clients design programs that engage, excite, and inspire meeting attendees. As a veteran program consultant, she has seen change in the industry and in the way clients pick speakers. Lisa asks targeted questions to get to the core of a client’s meeting objectives, and make sure her recommendations are a good match. In addition, she has seen video become a vital tool for speaker selection. She recommends clients preview raw speaker samples, and not just promos or sizzle reels, to get a clear sense of the speaker’s style.

A sports fanatic and diehard Redskins fan, Lisa loves booking sports personalities. A favorite booking is Pat Croce, the former president of the Philadelphia 76ers and a powerful motivational speaker. She’s also continually impressed with business thinker Jason Jennings, and the level of preparation he puts in to customize his message for each client.
