Your pointers on leadership skills in the work environment were useful regardless of what industry your audience may be in. Very well received advice!

We had Liz speak to two of our Agency Owner groups on business ownership and leadership this year. She was easy to work with and took time to make sure she was well prepared. Liz made sure that she had a good grasp on our company’s specific language and culture which really helped her to connect with our audience. Our group was very engaged in the presentation and there was a good amount of interaction between Liz and the groups. We received great feedback from the Agents who felt like they received information and knowledge that they could immediately apply to their businesses. I would definitely use Liz again in the future and I’d recommend her to others.

Liz listened well to my desired outcomes and who she would be working with. She showed up on time, prepared, relaxed and ready to dive in. I was most impressed with how she was able to wrangle the group to focus and stay on task with a smile on her face. She is professional, SMART and cares that I got my goal met and my staff learned how to set goals. She was great!
