Liz shared tools that gave me confidence & landed my Director level role!

I was having the hardest time breaking the glass ceiling and moving from middle management into a leadership role. I felt hopeless and tried a number of things but nothing seemed to work.

I tapped into my networks, I read books, I hired a life coach, I hired a resume writer, I worked with my mentors and sponsors.

Nothing was helping.

Liz helped me realize that part of my struggle was not related to me personally but to the broken system I was trying to navigate.

Liz also gave me very specific to-do’s and provided great resources to help prepare for leadership interviews and network at an upcoming conference. I felt much more confident in my approach and 100% prepared for my interviews.

This empowered me and gave me the confidence I needed. Thanks to this I landed my director level role!

How is it going today? It feels awesome to have a seat at the table and have my ideas valued.

After just 1 hour, I felt less stress in the decision-making process.

I was struggling whether to leave my current job (where I'm very happy) for significantly higher pay and visibility. I was feeling dread and paralyzed by indecision with a pit in my stomach every time I thought about it. I talked to everyone I could think who might help me make the decision. Everyone's advice was conflicting and no one could help me make the decision. I heard "follow your gut" countless times, but even my gut was conflicted!

What I really appreciated was how Liz reframed the issue. Instead of simply fretting over the regret that I might feel from the "wrong" decision, she asked "which regrets are you willing to live with?" She helped me look at the issue with a new lens and ultimately, make a decision I can stand behind. It's been a 180. After just one hour together, I felt less stress in the decision-making process. I left the session with a clear framework, and I made a decision I am confident in.

I had my pick from a range of opportunities

I had secured a dream job in Washington DC but was aware that I had only a limited few years to establish myself in that job, consolidate my career and position myself to have opportunities in my field when I returned to my home country.

I struggled to balance my own career needs and long term goals with the day to day demands of the role, and needed help prioritizing my time.

I felt that I had too many things to do and not enough time. I also had a young family, so I needed to be super focused with the limited time that I had.

Liz helped me identify my strengths, helped me plan, and provided the external accountability & support I needed to stay focused on my goals.

Thanks to her support, when I returned to my home country, I had my pick from a range of opportunities.

Working with Liz, I felt shifts in my energy. I would almost describe it as stagnation breaking up and I am feeling lighter.

The moment I decided that I needed to work with a leadership coach, I was outside pacing and walking back and forth, almost out of breath from anxiety and stress. I realized how much the situation was having a psychological and physical effect on my person and knew I needed to get out of the situation.

Working with Liz, I felt shifts in my energy. I would almost describe it as stagnation breaking up and I am feeling lighter. It’s like yoga for the brain!

Now I’m feeling confident about my leadership, my boss has noticed and is expanding my role to take on more responsibilities!

I got the promotion!

I felt stuck in my career. I was doing the work of a position without the authority or the benefits, and I didn't believe that I had what it took to be officially in the position. I felt angry and frustrated.

The tools in Liz's course helped me to connect with myself, my purpose and my values. After finishing, I was not only clearer in where I wanted my career to go, but I was able to lead myself and set boundaries that led me to get the promotion.

I now feel empowered and capable to do the work. I learned that in order to be a successful leader I needed to be myself. I also feel happier as I balance my roles and help my team to do the same as we get the results.

I now feel like I can give strong first impressions without having to sacrifice my values

I came to coaching because I felt like I wasn't giving strong first impressions as a leader, due to a combination of warmth, friendliness, my petite size, and my gender.

I was worried that I might discover that there is not much I can do to address my concern.

After working with Liz, I now have a tangible but manageable task ("homework") to work on that will help me prepare for future first encounters and for developing a more accurate, fair, and truthful view of myself in the workplace.

What I really appreciated about Liz was feeling like I was being truly heard and understood. She was obviously listening very attentively to the things I was describing, so much so that she was able to read between the lines and redirect my attention to some important details that I was missing.

I now feel like I can give strong first impressions without having to sacrifice values that are important to me -- this was my goal, and I'm delighted to have arrived at it.
