Organizational Development & Facilitation

“To get to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of our culture, which depends on the quality of our relationships, which depends on the quality of our conversations.”

—Judith E. Glaser, Conversational Intelligence®

Elizabeth is passionate about coaching and advising clients to achieve amazing results and goes beyond expectations with clients to deliver amazing improvements in performance.

I recently worked with Elizabeth on a team building project. Her ability to keep the team focused while providing alternate possibilities anchored the project which ended in success. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Her ability to coach others one on one or in a group setting is top-notch. I feel comfortable recommending Elizabeth to others searching for high-quality coaching and consulting.

The first time I truly understood the value of executive coaching, I was working with Liz Benson. Everyone talks about having a lightbulb moment- when something that you already knew comes into focus. Liz has helped me and many others have those lightbulb moments. Her questions are insightful and challenging and her enthusiasm is contagious. I highly recommend Liz as a coach and look forward to working with her further myself!
