Presentation Critique

“Lisa has always been a pleasure to work with. She always presents with energy and vitality to her groups as well as to her clients. Her presentation was extremely informative to the group regarding cognition and Parkinson’s, but it also provided them a potential answer to avoid those possible pitfalls through the services she offers through Healthy Lifestyles in Aging, Inc. She was direct and very interactive with the group and they were extremely responsive to her, with many of them complementing her presentation.”

"I felt that Lisa Dunning's presentation to TBL about Healthy Lifestyles in Aging was timely and well presented. I was very impressed with her process and approach to memory loss. Lisa had a lot of great ideas on physical exercise and mental health and how working both would help short-term memory. If you are on the fence about using Healthy Lifestyles in Aging, Inc. I would say to you that you are missing out if you do not employ her services!"

“I found the presentation fascinating with your style of delivery and ability to keep volunteers interested and active in their listening. It was easy to follow with the slides and visual materials accompanying the lecture. I especially enjoyed the displaying and sampling of nutritious food. This use of tangible materials is relevant in helping senior citizens understand how nutrition does not have to be boring. I feel it was an excellent way to engage several sense, making the presentation stimulating and memorable.”
