Liz Bentley

I have had the privilege of working with Liz Bentley for more than 15 years, and her impact has been transformational. She has changed my life through an incredible ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and push you to see what is possible—often before you see it yourself. Her guidance has shaped the way I lead, communicate, and make decisions, both professionally and personally. She is not just an executive coach; she is a trusted thought partner and catalyst for meaningful growth.

Liz has been instrumental in identifying growth areas within our leadership team. By understanding our culture and challenges, she designed solutions that are logical, achievable, and measurable. While the process demands full commitment, Liz has created a clear pathway forward that has our team’s full buy-in.

Liz has been an instrumental part of my success in building high performing teams across several companies. She has a unique ability to identify opportunities for my continual improvement as an executive. Moreover, she understands how to put that into action in the context of real world corporate dynamics on a daily basis.

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.

Within three months of coaching with Liz Bentley’s team my business experienced a transformational, tectonic shift resulting in a year-end surge in real estate sales from $100M to $200M. Significantly, LBA team workshops have imbued an increased awareness of personality styles, meaning intercommunications amongst teammates and with clients have never been more navigable or rewarding. LBA’s unique brand of architecture through coaching has transcended every integral component of my business, including strategic planning, personal development & branding, employee/teammate management and life balance. I consider partnering with LBA to be one of the greatest decisions I’ve made in my career.

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.

Liz was awesome. Always challenging us to get to the core.

Liz Bentley was fantastic and by far the highlight of the event. I learned the most from her presentation and it is something I can use.

This is the fourth time we have invited Liz to speak to our group, well in excess of other speakers we have considered. Liz’s presentations and slides are always well prepared and thought-provoking. With timely material and engaging questions, Liz always leaves the audience wanting more.

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 Bentley Associates 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.

Liz challenges the status quo and invites her audience to view their circumstances in a new way that results in audience excitement and enthusiasm for growth. Liz gets business and her years of working 1:1 with top level executives makes her prepared to handle the most unique of situations.

We have been working with Liz Bentley for a couple of years now, and I don’t think we’ll ever stop! In my particular organization, our work has been to move people to the next level of leadership. Liz brings just the right amount of compassion and expectation to this, and her input and collaboration has helped all of those she’s worked with here to achieve true growth. Everyone on my team is creative, I have found that traditional coaching models do not always apply. Liz really understands the creative spirit and has worked beautifully helping people find strength in operation and tactical growth, without curtailing their inspiration.

Our company has chosen to invest in itself, its executive team and managers with Liz Bentley Associates. They are teaching us how to better listen, plan, communicate and build our future. The company and I are more focused than ever before.

The most fascinating thing working with Liz is the predictability of how a conversation will go based on the personality type of people involved. I have been in a tough situation to let someone go and in the preparation of this meeting we sat down and discussed the flow of the conversation. The real conversation then was like a replay – unbelievable. I have never been better prepared for such a tough conversation.

As a trusted advisor, Liz Bentley is passionate about creating culture that leads to sustained peak performance. Through her coaching, she has not only been a catalyst in my personal development but made an indelible impact on the potential of the marketing function in our company. I couldn’t do it without her.
