Lisa Blake

Lisa Blake has been an educator for nearly 15 years, a mother for over 25 years, a Born-again Christian for almost 30 years, and has served her local assembly -primarily working with young people. These life experiences have granted keen insight on how humans interact with information and how that information might be applied to motivate the individual to a more effective way of being. Lisa has had the opportunity to teach and mentor young people aged 5-25. She is a registered nurse, with a Master's Degree in Nursing and has a multiplicity of diverse interests. Ms. Blake freely states that the one area where she is gifted, is teaching. Whether she is teaching new nurses or expounding on the word of God, Ms. Blake has the ability to captivate the listener and builds on the content (and her knowledge of the individual) in order to motivate a person to move from knowing to doing. Ms. Blake has a new and unique fingerprint to leave on the literary world. Her insight and intuition shine through with her own brand of sharing that brings depth, illumination, and new dimension to the topic at hand.
