Entrepreneur, Weston MA

Elizabeth has exceptional insight when it comes to organizational behavior, regardless of context (personal or professional).  I have worked with her for nearly a decade, as the counselor to my wife and me at first, and more recently, as a professional/career advisor.  Over the years, Elizabeth has provided practical, impartial insight, redirection and reframing of the situation in a way that lets me see my blindspots and improve.

During my time working with Elizabeth, I have both founded and helped to build multiple companies.  She has had a front row seat along the way.  When Elizabeth described her intent to transition her work’s focus to management teams and executives, it seemed like a perfect fit for her, though I was skeptical of her ability to help in my own work/career situation.

Some of my skepticism related to what seemed to be exceedingly unique, complex interactions and relationships among multiple actors in my professional life.  However, I quickly found her gentle persistence to be highly beneficial.

As a left-brain dominant thinker myself, Elizabeth’s objective assessment tools and her interpretation of them resonated with me immediately.  The exercises deepened my understanding of my professional behaviors – how and where adjusting my style would be beneficial and possible.

Elizabeth used our objective work as a springboard to explore areas where right-brained activities were holding me back as an executive/entrepreneur.  This led to the most important discovery I made through working with Elizabeth, which had to do with my process of building mutual trust and communicating my expectations as part of a team.

I am very grateful for her help and plan to utilize her as I build my next company.
