Kind Words

Lizz Made Me a Better Leader

Lizz made me a better leader. I have worked with Lizz twice, both times at critical points in my career. Under her coaching, I was able to clarify for myself what matters most and what path makes the most sense. After working with Lizz I understand myself at a much deeper level and, as a result, am better able to connect with others and lead my team. Anyone looking for executive coaching should be looking at Lizz.

Lizz is Fantastic to Partner With

Lizz is fantastic to partner with on your career journey. She is insightful and provides actionable guidance backed with useful materials and resources. With her assistance, I was able to do my homework to advance toward my goals and come to sessions with questions that we could dive into deeper detail. She listens intently and effectively unpacks and explores that with you to bring greater insights and resources to bear. While I wasn’t able to work with Lizz for long before her maternity leave, she did have a strong positive impact and I consider a resource I would engage when she is again available in the future.

She gave me a new perspective and approach to working with people- it truly makes a difference. The confidence I’ve gained in navigating challenges and building relationships is simply invaluable.

She Made Reaching My Goals Very Possible


Lizz’s coaching gave me structure and guidance on my career options, and what best aligned with me as a person and my goals. With her help, I was able to find what I was looking for. Lizz is encouraging and provides excellent resources. She made reaching my goals feel very possible by addressing my fear and discouragement. Working with Lizz helped me see not only that I was a strong contributor, but also that I had developed a strong positive reputation with the people I had worked with in the past, which had such a positive impact on my confidence! Lizz is a great sounding board – her ability to offer insight helped me to consider alternatives I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of, which has had ongoing benefits for me to this day.
