“The coaching experience was life-changing and a real game changer for me with regard to the self-insight and feedback I was receiving. The personal guidance and stories from Lizzette were most useful - relating to others who have been in similar situations, learning from their approaches, and applying pieces of it to my growth. I appreciated the detailed development plan to help keep us (and management) on track and Lizzette’s abundance of support throughout.”

“Lizzette and I were a great fit in terms of personality, which was nice, but what was by far the most valuable aspect of the coaching was how Lizzette was able to work with me in the context of my own unique personal and professional environment. We were not dealing in theory or ideas, but with very specific tools. All of her guidance was practical and applicable and was anchored on real things happening in my world.”
