Lisa Coleman is a Senior Partner at SpeakInc with almost two decades of experience in the speakers and entertainment industry. Originally from corn country in the Midwest, she studied Biological Sciences and Secondary Education at Southern Illinois University before moving to Arizona to start a career in sales. She stumbled upon the speakers bureau industry after her successful home-based computer business took a hit due to internet accessibility issues. Since then, Coleman has consulted with numerous clients, including corporate, associations, and non-profits, to book thousands of business and current events speakers, celebrities, athletes, motivational speakers, comedians, and other entertainers.

What sets her apart is her dedication to personally meeting clients in person and attending events whenever possible to provide valuable insight. Her commitment during the RFP/contract process is well-noted as she gives undivided attention and time to fully understand client needs. Her personalized proposals include professional comments, client testimonials, and interesting tidbits, as opposed to generic database-generated proposals. Her dedication extends beyond the contract signing as she remains available throughout the entire process and beyond for most clients.

Aside from her work, Lisa Coleman enjoys spending time with her furry friends Pearlsy, Nappy, and Dunkin'. She also likes putzing around in her yard, attempting to play golf, and working vacations on the Mississippi River. Coleman also enjoys being Nurse Ratchet at Bar-N where old trucks are transformed into hot rods.
