Enlighten. Empower. Enliven

"Great presentation skill and keeping the attendees engaged. I have taken 2 sessions with you and I have to say you keep it real and very interesting."

"Alise spoke at my firm’s women’s leadership group.   Her topic of engagement and retention was spot on to what we needed and was delivered in a way that motivated everyone in the room.  Alise is passionate about what she does and was relatable to various levels of professionals attending the program.   She encouraged participation and got results, which is typically a challenge with a room full of accountants.  I would highly recommend Alise as a presenter and would gladly bring her in for future programs."

"Alise is a captivating speaker with outstanding insights about Employee Engagement. She’s a tireless and dedicated researcher who is able to present complex ideas in direct and understandable language. Her infectious energy and wisdom about human relationships is reflected in the great work that she does."

"If you’re looking for a motivational speaker for your event … or an invigorating bolt of lightning to inspire your team … no one I know “brings it” quite like Dr. Alise Cortez. If you want to inspire your team or audience with a deeper sense of purpose, and get people believing in not only their abilities to do ore, but increase their passion to DO more… then talk to Alise."

"Renaissance woman. Helping people. Intelligent radio discourse. Expert in a field of “Working on Purpose”. Multi-lingual, broad academic background, lived overseas. Impeccable style."

"Alise Cortez brought her strong presence and formidable skills to San Antonio. She moved the needle not only for the corporate side of things but impacted our foundation’s talented committee. She finished with a big bang by training a diverse group of youth at Restore Education, one of our preferred partners. I witnessed the awakening as it unfolded which was palpable not to mention the ROI it will bring on all three trainings! Thank you Alise Cortez you are a dynamo."

"Quite possibly the sole catalyst in my drive to push forward and accomplish my current endeavors in the field of psychology. She is extraordinary with an uncanny ability to inspire and spark change. I highly recommend anyone in the position to witness her skills to do so!"

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Alise Cortez for over a decade. Her ability to create new understanding in the management/leadership development arena and apply that into scintillating classroom experience is unparalleled! I highly recommend her and her work and partner with her at every opportunity!"

"Alise delivered an engaging and customized Keynote Speech to rejuvenate our group of dedicated career services professionals from the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Area Consortium of Career Centers at the end of a long recruiting season.  She inspired great discussion around the meaning of our work and generated a renewed mission for each individual to reconnect with their individual source of positive energy.  Alise has a captivating spirit that is contagious. She was the best speaker for our professional development event."

"Alise’s presentation was inspiring and uplifting. It was like “lifting the veil” to reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly but sprinkled with hope for the future of our Gen Y & Z in the workplace."

“I want to share my sincerest appreciation to Alise for her support and expertise. Her keynote address at our fall employee convocation at Laredo College was exceptional and helped us lay the foundation for change in culture on campus and years goal of creating a more student service centered environment. She helped many of us understand clearly that our attitude shapes what we say and what we do. The intentional understanding of our words and the impact they have on others, while always there, needed to be verbalized and brought to the forefront of everyone’s mind. On behalf of Laredo College, a big THANK YOU and hope to see you back on our campus soon.”

"We recently had Dr. Alise Cortez at our Leadership Retreat and the experience far surpassed our expectations.  Dr. Cortez’s knowledge and expertise really allowed our employees to learn more about not only themselves but also about those they work alongside or interact with on a daily basis.  The information presented was truly enlightening and encouraged each of us to stretch ourselves to find our true purpose & passion.  Our organization would highly recommend anyone looking for a motivational and educational speaker to consider Dr. Alise Cortez.  She is well worth the investment and was an incredible way to kick off our retreat.
