"We can have all the means of communication in the world, but nothing, absolutely nothing, replaces the gaze of a human being."
— Paulo Coelho
I arrived in Bologna fresh out of university—it’s a state secret how many decades ago—believing I’d teach Italians how to speak in public. I had to wait. I gained a wealth of work experience until, in 2021, I founded WordWorks with Turan Tanin.
Since then, we’ve built a team of brilliant and fun trainers who are, above all, my dearest friends.
As a bilingual American (Eng-Ita), Lisa works with managers and leaders in international contexts where clear and authoritative communication makes the difference.
Her specialties include:
At WordWorks, she coordinates the team and oversees the most complex programs for structured companies operating in multiple markets and languages.
Highly exposed leadership (C-suite, board)
International and multicultural teams
Private Equity and Investment Banking
Companies in transition or global expansion
Italian and English.
Each program is built around the client’s specific goals. These are the core modules Lisa develops and coordinates.
Overcome public communication block and find an authentic and authoritative voice in any business context.
How to build and deliver messages that inspire, align, and drive action—from the boardroom to the corporate town hall.
Executive presence and communicative authority for leaders who must assert themselves in high-visibility contexts.
Specialized communications for M&A, investor relations, and presentations to potential buyers or investors.
