Individual and team coaching for values-led leaders
Lead without losing yourself
Strategic leadership coaching for people who care
You care about your team, your values, and doing work that matters while building stability for what's ahead. And sometimes, you get stuck. It happens.
Whether you’re a high-achiever burning out being good, a first-generation corporate leader who wasn’t taught the unwritten rules, or a busy leader trying to find time to build a thriving team, making it all work is an everyday challenge.
The truth? You don't need another self-help book. You need systems awareness and practical frameworks based on your reality to play the game confidently on your terms.
“Liza’s coaching is laser-focused on creating an individual roadmap while also being a warm, hilarious, and insightful resource.”
No improvement necessary. Just getting organized.
During our coaching sessions, you explore everyday scenarios through the lens of three core principles, shifting the focus away from self-improvement toward grounded thinking and action.
Self-knowledge Over Self-improvement
You're not broken. Instead of fixing yourself, start understanding who you are, how you think, and how to play the game your way.
Systems Thinking
Success isn't just about working harder. It's about understanding power dynamics, relationship capital, where you have influence, and when to make your move.
Everyday Strategic Action
Real change comes from small, consistent choices: who you amplify in meetings, how you frame negotiations, and the work you make visible.
You accept the facts, then play the game on your terms. You pick the vibe, the tone, and how you want to feel while doing it.
One-on-One Leadership & Career Coaching
For mid to senior-level leaders navigating workplace dynamics and career decisions
Build authentic influence. Make strategic career moves. Lead teams that actually work.
Through personalized coaching, you'll:
Understand the systems and power dynamics you're navigating
Develop practical frameworks for everyday leadership moves
Build sustainable practices that support resilience and long-term success
Amplify your influence without losing your values
This isn't about transformation. It's about getting organized and making strategic choices that work for your life and career.
“In just the first few minutes of meeting Liza, I had never felt so understood professionally. Liza helped give me the confidence to embrace my strengths and pursue my ambitions.”
Speaking, Consulting & Facilitation
For organizations developing high-performing leaders
Democratize access to the fundamentals of leadership, negotiation, and career development through virtual and in-person keynotes and group workshops. I teach systems thinking and practical frameworks for everyday influence that lead to results.
Topics include: Building belonging through systems, strategic self-advocacy, managing up, and leadership moves for people who care about doing it right.
Team Coaching
For teams who need ways of working that last
More than a workshop. More than a consultant report. Team coaching combines organizational development principles and emotional intelligence training with real-time problem-solving.
Every engagement is customized to your team. You'll build systems that work – meeting structures, communication norms, decision-making frameworks – grounded in your team's reality, not generic best practices.
“I spent a year working with Liza and it was a game changer. She helped me level up my relationships, quality of work, and emotional intelligence in action - in the workplace, but really in all the places.”
The ripple effect
People who care can be strategic, too. You can play the game and keep your values intact. When you negotiate, speak up, or make your work visible, you're not just advancing your career, you're changing the game for everyone.
My mission: Help thoughtful, ambitious people build better systems for everyone by understanding what’s really holding them back, making strategic moves every day, and leading without losing their way.
Why work with me?
For over twenty years, I've worked at the intersection of strategy and influence as a communications leader in progressive politics, organic food, and social justice nonprofits, and now as an executive coach helping people navigate systems that weren't built for them.
Here's what I’ve learned: Success isn't just about working harder. It's about understanding the systems you're in and making strategic choices that build authentic influence over time.
My approach emphasizes self-knowing and systems thinking over self-improvement. You're not broken. The systems are imperfect. Once you understand how they work, you can play the game on your terms.
Our conversations are filled with curiosity, empathy, honesty, and humor (because if we can't laugh at the absurdity of corporate life, what are we even doing?). My coaching style creates space to think clearly, make strategic decisions, and build practices that stick, not because you're suddenly "better," but because you got organized and decided on your next step.
My leadership coaching approach has helped executives, directors, and managers across industries build authentic influence, navigate career transitions, and lead teams effectively, all while staying true to their values.
