Testimonials:

“I saw Lizz Pellet speak at the PIHRA Conference in October at the Long Beach Convention Center. This was the fourth time I have seen Lizz present before an audience. Her presentation in 2007 was entitled “Attract, Retain, and Repel,” and in 2008 she has presented “The Cultural ‘Fit’ Factor.” Lizz’s presentation style is extremely dynamic and engaging. Her use of humor is insightful and illuminating. She is simply “fun” to watch. I learn best when I am having fun, and Lizz shares her ideas in an extremely entertaining way. She tells stories, shows charts and graphs, shares photos, and interweaves compelling video to express her ideas. Not only do attendees walk away saying, “Wow!” They walk away feeling that they really learned a great deal.”

“Your session was great! You are very engaging and funny and kept the crowd’s attention by communicating in a creative way your message on employment branding and how it relates to recruitment and retention.”

“Lizz, you were a highlight of my recent trip to OnRec! Funny, on point, full of useful information. Thanks; you were a breath of fresh air. I don’t think you used the word “linked in” even once! Thanks for a great session.”

“Hi Lizz,
I had the pleasure of hearing you speak at the Paperboard Packaging Council annual HR convention last week in San Diego. Your dynamic presentation was EXCEPTIONAL – I especially appreciated the focus on data and how we in the HR field play a key role to strategically evolve our work cultures to keep the right employees actively engaged in the business. Although I’ve always considered myself a techie, I quickly realized I’m behind the times in terms of tapping into the low-cost recruiting avenues such as myspace.com, podcasts, etc. to attract Gen Y and X talent. Frankly, many of us will have to get buy-in from our I.S. groups before exploring those media! I just wanted to thank you for the very thought-provoking presentation.”
