    Founder, Say Things Better

    Dallas

    Lila Smith spent 10 years as a professional actress, then left to use her theater training "offstage," as an eCommerce leader. She merged the two worlds by creating Say Things Better, a method of Intentional Communication based on method acting and script analysis.

    Lila built her business using a zero-dollar-ad spend marketing and social media strategy, including an organically built following on LinkedIn of 38k+ global professionals. Originally from Manhattan, Lila moved to Dallas in 2018 with two checked bags, a carry-on, and a network of thousands of people including 150 good friends and clients ready to help.

    Lila now travels around the world, training the leaders and teams who follow her work to take greater accountability for their communication.

    Her highly interactive training workshops have earned her rave reviews from partners like Merck, Acuity Brands, the Dallas Mavericks, the University of Miami, and Fannie Mae. More importantly, her work has led to transformative discovery- over a thousand "aha! moments" achieved worldwide.
