My clients say…

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.

Curious why you’d hire an executive coach? Get to know the benefits of working with a coach like me.

Yes, I’m a Board Certified Coach though my training and experience go beyond the basic requirements of coaching certifications. Get to know more about me and my background here or by visiting my LinkedIn. I welcome new connections and would love to meet you.

Executive coaching is a personalized, one-on-one process that helps leaders enhance their performance, develop key skills, and overcome challenges. It focuses on areas such as leadership development, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and achieving specific career goals. My coaching approach is tailored to your unique needs and aims to empower you to lead with confidence and impact.

Executive coaching is valuable for leaders at all levels, from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. It’s not just for those facing challenges—any leader looking to refine their skills, navigate career transitions, or drive greater results in their organization can benefit. Whether you’re an experienced leader, an executive, or an entrepreneur, coaching can help you achieve your full potential.

Common topics include leadership development, emotional intelligence, communication skills, conflict resolution, strategic thinking, work-life balance, managing stress, and navigating organizational change. Additionally, I address specialized areas such as neurodivergence in leadership and creating psychologically safe workplaces.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my coaching practice. All sessions and discussions are completely confidential, meaning that what you share will not be disclosed to your organization, supervisors, or anyone else. If your employer is involved in your coaching, I will be transparent with you and your employer about the information shared and not shared regarding your coaching. This allows you to explore your challenges and growth areas in a safe, supportive environment.

While both executive coaching and therapy can involve personal development, they serve different purposes. Coaching is designed to help you achieve specific professional outcomes, such as improving leadership skills or navigating a career transition.

Therapy, on the other hand, addresses mental health issues and emotional challenges that make it difficult to engage in life effectively.

My background in counseling enriches the coaching process by bringing a deeper understanding of human behavior, but the primary focus remains on professional growth through actionable steps forward. If you get stuck, we will explore barriers and develop an effective plan so you can move through it with greater ease. I will always provide a referral if counseling is more appropriate or complimentary.

Absolutely. I’ve worked with many chief officers across various industries from small to large organizations.
