For Individuals

I believe most everyone wants to make a positive impact during the course of their lives - and with a little support, I believe they can. Whether that be at work, at home, or in any other aspect of their life.

Life + Leadership Coaching

Why the blend of personal & professional?
Because work and life outside of work are seldomly compartmentalized.

My holistic approach has had a major impact on my clients' ability to lead well.

You can certainly receive Life Coaching without having a leadership role, but experience tells me that leaders benefit greatly from a mixture of both.

“Eli guided our group through the Intercultural Development Inventory with grace and compassion. While we initially started to meet one on one to learn more about the IDI and DEI, her background in leadership and life coaching has been so helpful to me as well.  She listens well and asks probing questions that have helped me grow in self-awareness and navigate leadership opportunities.  She has become a trusted coach and I highly recommend her!”

Executive VP, Business Development (identity withheld for confidentiality)

“I knew I wanted to pursue my passion outside of my chosen career but I couldn’t get myself to take the first step and I couldn’t figure out why. This had been going on for over two years so I knew I had to do something.

As my coach, Elizabeth was able to help me get to the bottom of my mental block. Once I was free of that, my future felt much clearer. I left her office feeling lighter than I’d felt in a long time and energized about my new venture!”
