Lisa Ryan
CSP – Chief Appreciation Strategist, Grategy
Gratitude Strategies to Boost Your Business and Lift Your Life.
The business disruptions in 2020 gave us many opportunities to find the good - even in the most difficult of circumstances. Although it sometimes doesn’t feel like it, there were many “gifts” that resulted from the pandemic. The challenge is to look for and find the good. In this fun and engaging session, you’ll see the difference that having a gratitude strategy – or Grategy – can make for you as an association leader. Using research, anecdotes, personal stories and experiences, Lisa gives you simple tools to create a culture of appreciation in your workplace so that you can keep your best employees from becoming someone else’s and your favorite members from leaving. In the process, you’ll also be able to give yourself the gift of a little self-care today for a better tomorrow.
What you can expect from my program:
- Interactive - Participants talk & network to take advantage of the "wisdom in the room"
- Engaging - Real-world stories, experiences, examples, and life lessons learned
- Fun - Laughter, smirks, and agroan or two with Lisa's sassy sense of humor

Angie Snow
Principal Industry Advisor of ServiceTitan
The Language of Leadership
How do you talk about yourself, others, and your experiences? Do you apologize for it? Celebrate it? Act like it’s no big deal? Do you find yourself drifting to the negative side of things rather than having positive and optimistic language in your conversations?
It’s time to consider the power you hold with the language you use. What words, phrases and expressions are you saying that could be keeping you from going to the next level in your career, your relationships, and your leadership abilities? If you knew, you’d probably want to change it!
Join Angie Snow in this session to help uncover a layer of detrimental language that is holding you back and learn what to say instead, so you can be a positive influence, inspiring conversationalist, and top level leader.
