I attended Lisa’s media training to get better at video presentations and interviews. She imparted invaluable techniques on how to look and sound better based on her years in the broadcasting world. We even got into adjusting the laptop cameras and lighting. I would definitely recommend Lisa’s class for any journalist that wants to prepare for multi-platform reporting.

Lisa emceed our two day 2018 Institute of International Finance Annual Membership Meeting in Bali, Indonesia. She did an amazing job as emcee and as moderator of one of the conference’s signature panels: “Views from the C-Suite” which featured five of the top banking CEOs from across Asia.
Lisa is a very personable, kind and a well-respected professional. She was knowledgeable and well-prepared for this conference, and was lively, dynamic and engaging on stage. It was a real pleasure working with her and I look forward to partnering with her again.”

Turned upside down in 3 hours. I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of media interviews or interviews of any kind and previous trainings made me believe I am not made for the media. But Lisa has proven me wrong. In about three hours she turned my entire behaviour in front of a camera around. From being hyper nervous, not being able to connect with the camera or the interviewer to being able to deliver a message that sticks with the audience. By explaining the impact that a good interview can have and providing tools on how to deal with an interview situation she made it possible for me to handle interviews more eloquently. Her passion to help her clients and the empathy shown during the training made it easy to process and comprehend the contents of the training. The entire team (camera, lights and make-up) were very comforting but at the same time brutally honest without doing too much damage to my ego. I would recommend Lisa for anyone who has to deal with media (be it newbies or people that need a bit of a refreshment course). Thank you very much Lisa Oake!

Lisa Oake hosted our inaugural DBS Institutional Investor Symposium and played a huge part in making the event the success that it was. In the midst of the turbulent Brexit vote and with a packed full day agenda, Lisa was the perfect host, effortlessly leading discussions between the speakers while keeping the audiences attention throughout. Her knowledge of the difficult subject matter was impeccable and she was at ease throughout the day, commanding the stage in-between sessions and engaging the speakers during the panel discussions.A consummate professional with a personal touch, Lisa added a tremendous amount of value on the day and we would highly recommend her for any Emcee job. As a matter of fact, we hope to have her back for our second Symposium later this year
