We don't need more information, we need more action.
Dubbed "The Excuse Buster from Down Under" by the US media, Lizzie Williamson is a high energy motivational keynote speaker on a mission to help people bust their excuses and take action, two minutes at a time.
With so many of us drowning in information, advice, and inspiration, Lizzie's message cuts through: we don't need to know more, we need to do more. Her keynotes don't just fire audiences up; they send them home with a simple, science-backed method they'll actually use. And they do it in the most fun way possible: think excuse whackers, yellow pom poms, and gratitude notes stuck to foreheads. Lizzie's sessions are the ones people are still talking about at the airport.
Author of Just Two Minutes, The Active Workday Advantage and Two Minute Moves, and TEDx speaker, Lizzie has energised tens of thousands of people across conferences, sales events, and training days worldwide — sharing stages with Barack Obama, Tony Robbins, Arianna Huffington, and the Dalai Lama.
Her clients include Amazon, Bank of America, KFC, Lenovo, and Mirvac, and her work has been featured on Good Morning America, the Today Show, Sunrise and Studio 10.
Talking Points
Just Two Minutes - Your Time Starts Now
We know what we should be doing. We've read the books, watched the videos, downloaded the apps. So why aren't we doing it? Because it's not an information problem - it's an excuse problem. Lizzie knows this firsthand. After experiencing postnatal depression as a new mum of two, she didn't overhaul her life. She started with just two minutes. That small act changed everything, and the Two Minute Method™ was born.Just Two Minutes - Your Time Starts Now
In this high-energy, laugh-out-loud keynote, Lizzie introduces the system that closes the gap between knowing and doing. No willpower required. No major life overhaul. Just two minutes to break the cycle and start building momentum that actually sticks.
Expect audience participation, a few props you won't see coming, and a room that leaves more uplifted than it arrived.
Key Takeaways & Tangible ROI:
- Audiences walk away with the Two Minute Method™ - a practical, immediately usable framework for busting excuses and taking action, resulting in higher follow-through and less procrastination across teams.
- Leaders and individuals gain simple mindset tools to overcome inertia on their hardest days, driving greater consistency, engagement, and personal accountability.
- Organisations see the ripple effect of small consistent actions compounding into real behavioural change: less overwhelm, more momentum, and a culture that defaults to doing.
The Energy Advantage - Your Secret Weapon is Already Inside You
Your team's biggest competitive edge isn't their strategy, their tech, or their budget; it's their energy. Lizzie learned this on cruise ships, performing back-to-back shows for thousands of passengers night after night. When your energy is your job, you figure out fast how to protect it, manage it, and turn it on, even when you'd rather not.The Energy Advantage - Your Secret Weapon is Already Inside You
In this science-backed, action-packed keynote, Lizzie reveals how to reclaim and sustain energy throughout the workday using simple, proven techniques that take minutes, not hours. Audiences leave with practical tools they can use immediately and the motivation to actually use them.
This isn't a passive sit-and-listen session. Lizzie gets the room moving, laughing, and feeling the difference firsthand.
Key Takeaways & Tangible ROI:
- Teams discover science-backed microstrategies to manage and sustain energy across the workday, directly improving focus, productivity, and output quality.
- Individuals learn to identify and interrupt their personal energy drains, replacing them with quick, effective recharge habits that fit into any schedule.
- Organisations benefit from reduced burnout, lower absenteeism, and a more energised, switched-on workforce that shows up ready to perform.
Change Your State, Change Your Results - The Switch That Changes Everything
You can't think your way out of a funk. Sometimes you need to move your way out. Lizzie spent years as a professional dancer and what dance teaches you above everything else is that your body leads and your mind follows. Change your physicality and your psychology shifts with it. Every. Single. Time.Change Your State, Change Your Results - The Switch That Changes Everything
In this dynamic and deeply practical keynote, Lizzie shows audiences how their physical state directly drives their mental state and how shifting one instantly shifts the other. The fastest path to better performance, better mood, and better results starts with the body, not the brain.
Lizzie brings the science to life in the room. Audiences don't just hear about state change, they experience it. Pom poms optional. Fun is not.
Key Takeaways & Tangible ROI:
- Audiences gain a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and how to use it as a performance lever, not just a wellness concept, in their daily work and life.
- Individuals leave with a personal toolkit of fast, effective state-shifting techniques they can use before presentations, tough conversations, or any high-pressure moment.
- Teams develop a shared language and set of practices around energy and state management, creating a culture of resilience, adaptability, and high performance.
