“Lisa has written poignantly and beautifully about that silent life of survival and placed it on a slab of wry for us to absorb. Sometimes wincingly uncomfortable, other times hilarious. At all times, unpretentiously honest.”

“Lisa David Olson is a dynamic and engaging speaker who draws in the audience with her light-hearted and warm demeanor. Participants are seen nodding their heads and laughing in agreement as she shares real-life struggles, creative strategies related to making choices instead of excuses, and building confidence in both personal and professional lives.

"What I love about Lisa's writing is how she takes the ordinary that we all experience and turns it into hysterical and relatable stories. This style is funny, but really powerful, when she deals with her sometimes tough childhood. Laughs On Wry brings perspectives about how human we all are. We can rise above such challenges with humor."
