"As a coach Liz is able to quickly evaluate and see clearly through the clutter and and noise of your daily life. Whether it be business or personal!!! Her advice and counsel on the strategies we develop together has helped me to sharpen my focus so I strive and achieve my goals. She has truly been a life changer for me. Should have found her sooner!!"
- Joe, CEO

"Thank you, Liz… for creating a Leadership Training class that goes above and beyond in teaching people how to be successful in all aspects of their life. Anyone who is serious about this class and follows through will experience a positive change. There were so many amazing points that I have applied in my professional and personal life, with instant results. There is no price you can place on understanding people and how to work with all walks of life successfully. Isn’t that what we all want and need, positive relationships, regardless whether is it an employer, employee, spouse, partner, parent, sibling, etc? This class consisted of condensed life lessons taken from many experiences (authors, direct and indirect) and shown how to apply it immediately into my own life. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and what it has taught me."
- Linda, Program Manager

"As an HR professional working at a LI mid-sized company; I had the pleasure of meeting Liz when searching to provide an effective onsite Leadership program to both our senior level and mid level management groups. We have many long-term employees who do not believe they can be taught a more effective way to handle their business. From the first time I spoke with Liz I knew her intelligent, tactful, yet straight forward demeanor would blend well with multiple personalities; she has never disappointed us. Her well rounded experience, both professional and personal, give her the leverage for her success. We have since partnered with Liz for multiple training, leadership and coaching initiatives.

In addition to group courses, I have had the opportunity to have Liz as my personal coach. I have learned I can rely on her to provide the feedback and direction I need to succeed; what more is there to say? The best way I can think to say it is Liz has been the best investment this company has had in a long time! Thanks Liz!
- Cindy, Human Resource Director

"Since working with Liz I have further built on my strengths and drastically improved my weaknesses. The in-depth training sessions have been invaluable to my professional growth. Liz has a way of finding out what obstacles face you in the future and designs an action plan to over come them. Her coaching is very unique in that it is tailored to your own individual needs."
- Bill, Senior Vice President Branch Manager

"Thanks to Liz, my career and my life have been completely re-organized, refocused, and re-energized. In only a few weekly sessions, Liz helped me identify my strengths, goals, and ways to focus my priorities and time so that I have a work balance and life satisfaction that I never had in 20+ years as a program manager. During these sessions, she introduced me to key tools and methods for successfully collaborating and working with people, forming and leading teams, and creating a healthy and enjoyable work and home environment. It would have taken a hundred self-help books to learn what Liz taught me in only 10 short sessions. More importantly, unlike any book or website, Liz gave me invaluable feedback in setting goals, identifying priorities, and applying these tools and techniques to improve my life every single day. In short, Liz showed me how to find my “zone”, stay in the zone, and use the zone to achieve a satisfaction in my personal and professional life I never thought possible."
- Greg, Program Manager

"Having attended seminars with many of the top ‘name brand’ training companies, I can say that the leadership and management training I received from Liz was outstanding in its practical, no-nonsense and immediately applicable approach. Liz was excellent at keeping the whole group involved, and paced her curriculum in a way that made it easy to apply it to the team immediately upon leaving her session each week. In addition, several members of my team also benefited from Liz’s coaching. It was exciting to hear their enthusiasm and excitement about what they had learned each week. The experience was a great investment for both the team and for each of us as individuals."
- Mike, Vice President Marketing

Dear Liz, I want to thank you for your coaching work over the last 2 ½ years. You have successfully navigated me through rebuilding my business after moving financial firms 2 years ago. Moving firms as a financial advisor is a stressful and time intensive process as you move your clients and with you and rebuild business often from the ground up. Our coaching calls were instrumental in helping me target and reach my goals. In my new position, I am a much happier employee as a result of your help leveraging my strengths and identifying and removing my obstacles.

As we began working together I knew right away your coaching skills were going to help me be a better manager and to make decisions that were right for me and for the business. But what I didn’t realize was that through our coaching calls, you were going to be able to identify and solve so many of the home/life challenges that a working mom faces. One of the best pieces of advice you have given me is to relinquish the guilt I felt for being a working mom and away from my kids and instead embrace my choice as the right thing for me and for my family. You said that if I was proud to be a working mom and confident it was the right path for my family, then my children would also interpret my choice to work in the same way – with pride and confidence.

Thank you for all of your wonderful advice and coaching. I continue to be amazed at your perspective and your ability to identify and solve problems. I look forward to working with you this year as I move forward with my career and family.

"Recently I had the pleasure of attending several of Liz Bentley’s Leadership workshops and walked away with confirmation of what my strengths were, combined with a profound sense of how to leverage new skills Liz brought to the table. This experience has already had a positive effect, helping me to further influence positive growth in our sales organization. I learned during our time together how to identify areas of improvement in social intelligence, and thus have enhanced my ability to both motivate and lead others by example. Everything about Liz speaks to professionalism in her craft, and I would recommend her insights and outreach to anyone serious about the topics of professional growth, leadership development and personal transcendence. These workshops were a journey of enlightenment for me, with a most capable guide in Liz Bentley"
- Doug, Executive Vice President Sales

"This seminar was an excellent means to opening communication between co-workers. It helped us to understand and recognize the four different personality types (dominant, interactive, steady and conscientious). Understanding how to assess a personality type helps with making conscious decisions on how to approach each personality type for more effective communication. The skills that were learned in this seminar are valuable and I use them each day in both the business environment and my personal life. Thank you Liz for providing a beneficial skill that will last a lifetime!"
- Mary, Program Manager

"Liz was invaluable to me. She helped me clarify my career goals and pointed me on my way. She was easy to talk to and was extremely effective in helping me map out my goals."
- Francesca, Entrepreneur

"Liz Bentley, with her matter of fact, non nonsense coaching style, showed me how to identify and focus on core issues in the workplace. She kept in frequent contact with me throughout the time we worked together and sent me regular follow up emails afterwards. Liz kept me on task, always reminding me of my stated goals, and helped me to become an effective negotiator. I always felt a personal connection; Liz cared about my situation and I look forward to working with her in the future."
- Donna, Jewelry Designer

"I must admit, when I first heard that I had to take part in a 12 week leadership course, I was not very enthusiastic about spending that much time away from daily job duties. Within 30 minutes of the first class, I was completely absorbed and looked forward to each week more and more as time went on. Liz is a very dynamic presenter and her experience in the corporate world made her a convincing voice and role model for considering fundamental changes in my leadership style. The skills and techniques I learned from Liz have made an immediate impact on my leadership skills, and perhaps more importantly, sharpened the vision for my personal and career goals. I would strongly recommend Liz to anyone looking to grow as a professional, and as a person."
- Jim, Executive Vice President Sales
