It’s Time To Start Thriving in Your Work

Elizabeth Gentzkow, M.A., NCC

Your Portland Executive Coaching, Leadership, & Organizational Effectiveness Specialist

I’m a Portland based Executive Coach, Leadership Consultant, and Licensed Professional Counselor with a depth of experience helping professionals lead rewarding careers and lives. I help leaders, teams, and organizations create meaningful changes that optimize success.

Clients work with me when they are ready to establish themselves as a go to expert in their field and lead high-impact leadership with confidence. You know what you want, but perhaps you’re a little uncertain for how to achieve this.

My background is unique in that I hold advanced experience and training in organizational effectiveness and counseling psychology. This expertise allows me to help my clients achieve lasting growth quicker than traditional forms of coaching.

I have a laser focused ability to assess complex systems, diagnose problems/barriers, and utilize evidence-based strategies with my clients.

Working with me is…

Our work is a professional partnership. You’re an expert at what you do. I’m an expert in the psychology of professional change and workplace behavior. I offer insights into underlying barriers and opportunities to target change. You will always know what we’re doing, why, and how it works.

You ed

Insight and awareness is great, but that’s only a fraction of the puzzle. My approach aligns personal and organizational values with behavior- the secret to “motivation” is values-based action.

No one coaching or training experience is the same. Programs are tailored to you and your team’s needs, goals, and objectives.

There’s no flying by the seat of my pants. I only use proven methods, tools, and techniques based on rigorous organizational psychology research.
