Speaker Fees $3,000.
Description of Presentation Her latest talk is My Life As A Woman: From Shirley Temple to the Bachelorette* *With A Visit from Gloria Steinem. Empowering, poignant and funny, it begins with time capsule stories of growing up in the 1960s while wearing a uniform, tie shoes, and curtseying as the rest of the world was shedding its rules. And it quickly talks about how her generation benefited from the women’s movement which had come of age by the time she arrived at college. She shares her views on working women, marriage and motherhood -- from Sex and the City, Oprah, and the Kardashian's to Lean-In and The Bachelorette and asks the question: Are we leaning in while watching "After the Final Rose"? An important topic presented with intelligence and a healthy dose of humor. We do have a professionally created video that precedes the talk. It’s very uplifting and energizing. Truly, Lisa is the real deal when it comes to empowering women with an endearing style.
