Karmen is very thoughtful and analytical while still being approachable. I would throw a lot at her. She would listen to absorb it and then say, ‘let’s attack it.’ I put into place the strategies we talked about and it has paid off.

Liz Bentley has an unparalleled ability to quickly size up any corporate landscape —downloading important dynamics and dispensing advice that is immediately actionable. As a coach, Liz commands your trust with her authority and compassion—you want to listen to her and put her suggestions to work. Her personalized approach charts a clear path to success, and her innovative, goal-driven methods have both instantaneous and far-reaching, cumulative effects. Liz has joined the ranks of a select number of bad-ass business leaders I admire personally and rely on professionally.

I've been exposed to many personality assessments geared toward teams and management / leadership but never really saw the value of the generalizations. When you're a young manager I think you want to treat everyone like snowflakes. After working through the DISC assessment and having a few of the managers that work for me take and share with their teams, it became a much more scalable management approach than the 'snowflake' method. DISC created a common language around employee needs allowing us to have more productive conversations on how we can support and motivate one another. I've found the language useful to help grow young managers, foster peer support, facilitate 360 reviews and generally drive a more transparent, supportive culture. I will say DISC (like other personality assessments) is only part of the puzzle - it's essential to have a guide to help foster insight and find ways to apply its learnings.

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.

Liz Bentley and her team are an excellent resource for Sotheby’s International Realty. Liz has made a powerful impact on our management team, helping us tackle blind spots and hone our communication skills to become more effective leaders. Her one-on-one coaching advice and strategies have been life-changing for many of our employees and our organization overall.
