About Liz

---

 My passion is to help people build a brighter future for themselves and others. As a former Senior Executive in the U.S. Department of Defense and a mom to six grown sons, I have broken through barriers and stereotypes my whole life and know the joy of accomplishment and freedom it brings. I want my clients to experience this too! 

I've led multi-thousand person organizations with billion-dollar-plus budgets overseeing operational, technical and administrative functions. I've served as the NSA Chief of Staff, Director of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, and Deputy Director of Capabilities. The most important thing I learned is that taking care of your work force and being a great teammate is critical to success.

In addition to decades of leadership experience, I am an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I received my coach training from ACT Leadership and Performance Coaching and am also trained as a Positive Intelligence® Coach. I am certified in using the Hogan,  EQi 2.0/EQ360, and Leadership Versatility Index (LVI) assessment tools.  

One of my favorite quotes is from Maya Angelou: "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel."  

I am committed to making people feel valuable, resourceful and fully capable of thriving in a constantly changing world.
