LISA LANGELL sponsored by Let there be Light! | Photography Seminar Although originally from Michigan, Lisa Langell currently lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. She has “done” a lot of things to make an enjoyable living —from managing a pizzeria as a teen, to working as a master floral designer, a licensed psychologist, an international speaker, professional trainer and consultant in the area of K-12 education, a Chief Business Development Officer for an Education Technology company, a researcher, a writer, an artist and even a recruiter! She’s thoroughly loved photography since she was a kid but began her business with it in 2010. Over the past 25 years, she has re-invented herself repeatedly. Why? Taking thoughtful stock, she realized each new role she took always involved three important things that she is passionate about and bring her joy. These have been themes throughout all of the work she has done and still do today: 1. Improving the lives of others. 2. Continual learning—and then teaching/sharing that knowledge to empower others to be more successful. 3. Having meaningful, powerful and memorable shared experiences. She had been doing one or more of these things most of her life. Though photography was always a favorite activity, it wasn’t until she combined photography with teaching and tour guiding that it all came together. The Joy Trifecta: Creating one- of-a-kind, exciting, emotionally rewarding learning experiences for others! Bringing joy to others brings joy to her! She is passionate about providing creative, memorable and educational experiences that enrich, invigorate and expand minds emotionally and cognitively -- all while having fun together! Life is short.
