"Lia is a dynamic facilitator and inspirational speaker. She always employs a unique yet light approach to deliver a profound message which brought her insights and personal experience to life. Her session was a high energy jump start. On the topic of From Accent to Excellence, I am much better informed than before, and I am much more confident about what the future holds for the audience."

More than 50% of Lia's standup set was crafted from original and recent events. That shows her talent and creativity.
Sheky Z.
It's so unusual and brave for a first-generation American-Chinese woman to do standup in America. So impressed with Lia's ability to entertain Texans.

When my 501(c)3 non-profit organization planned on an all-women panel about finding fulfillment within our careers, we split the audience into 2 categories of interest: career-pivot and career-focus. We knew that Lia Bai would be the perfect keynote speaker about career pivots. Communication with her was easy and clear, and mutually beneficial terms were discussed when booking her for our program. Her humorous anecdotes and conversation between spaghetti and noodles talk had all attendees laughing. The audience interaction felt very natural, and her ability to connect through personal stories made a lasting impression of authentic engagement. I hope to work with her again in the future!

"Lia is not only an excellent speaker herself, but also an insightful teacher. When I engaged her during Frisco ISD Board of Trustees campaign, she was able to quickly identify problem areas of my speaking materials and style, and provide solutions. She consistently held me accountable to practice and refine the materials during the stressful campaign. With her help, my message and delivery became more engaging,interesting, concise, at-ease, and animated. Her coaching exercises sharpened my skills considerably over a short span of time. I'm forever grateful of her help, and highly recommend her training programs."
