Testimonials

An exceptional presenter, Liz did a program for the FEW group (Financial Executive Women CFO roundtable) recently on “Commanding Respect” that got everyone talking. 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.

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.

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 Bentley is the Olympian business coach that has been a magical secret weapon of many uber successful influencers. She created and conducted a great and memorable Team-building Day for my team, which was a big success all around. Everyone was fully engaged and captivated by her energy, lively presentation and hilarious stories. Much was learned about ourselves and our group chemistry. For me, the seminar served as a strong endorsement of our bond and good fortune to share our careers together.

Within 3 months of coaching with Liz Bentley’s team, my business experienced a tectonic shift resulting in a year-end surge in real estate sales from $100M to $200M. Their coaching has transcended every integral component of my business, including strategic planning, personal development and branding, employee management and life balance. In addition, their team workshops have increased awareness of personality styles; intercommunications among teammates and with clients has never been more navigable or rewarding. I consider partnering with Liz Bentley Associates to be one of the greatest decisions I’ve made in my career.

I, along with Sterling Talent Solutions, have had the pleasure of working with Liz and her team for more than ten years. Liz's energy, insight, and spirit have been invaluable in her coaching and strategic vision.

The last few years, Liz has facilitated our Client Advisory Board (CAB) meetings. She has truly become a trusted advisor to not only the Sterling team, but also to our most valued clients.

I enjoyed Liz's ability to intersperse humor in her presentation. She kept the topic relevant but light and allowed people to laugh at themselves.

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.

We invited Liz to conduct a half-day session for our recent college grads to help shorten their learning curve. Liz was completely flexible in customizing her content to address our specific needs. With very little preparation time on my end, Liz came into our session like a rock star – gaining complete engagement from the participants and knocking all of our objectives out of the ballpark.
