Engineer → Attorney → Founder → Mayor
Guiding women and emerging leaders, I help them build lives where purpose, connection, and resilience create true fulfillment.
Many leaders struggle to build real connection with their teams or to feel a sense of purpose in their own work, often wondering why achievement alone never feels like enough. But imagine a workplace where every person on your team experiences both fulfillment and success, where alignment, clarity, and motivation come naturally. Through her talks, keynotes, and workshops, Elizabeth helps leaders create that shift—turning purpose into action and transforming teams into communities that thrive.
A framework for transformation that threads through every talk, workshop, and conversation.
Build relational capital and community. Success is co-authored, not solo.
Every obstacle hides a new skill, ally, or calling waiting to be discovered.
Logic leads to achievement; intuition leads to alignment and meaning.
The fastest way to heal is to help. Service creates significance.
Collaboration, mentorship, and support turn endurance into evolution.
Keynotes, workshops, and guest lectures that inspire action and equip audiences with practical frameworks.
