About Elizabeth

Ready When You Are.

While my career path has been rich with external achievements, I didn’t always feel successful. Despite reaching professional heights, I grappled with a sense of misalignment that no title or salary could fix. This nagging feeling led me to understand that true success transcends titles and salaries. It's about aligning with your core values, finding intrinsic fulfillment in your career and personal life, and leading authentically.

Imagine chasing a golden job only to realize it leaves you exhausted and frustrated. That's what misalignment can feel like. Once I anchored my choices in my values and strengths, everything shifted. This personal transformation ignited my passion to guide others towards their own fulfilling achievements.

Today, I employ my wisdom, experience, and distinctive sense of humor to help executives and leaders like yourself overcome obstacles, unlock their unique gifts, and reach their full potential.

Before my legal career, I honed my empathy and problem-solving skills as a Registered Nurse at a prominent San Francisco hospital.

My methodology is a unique fusion of this vast legal expertise with the empowering tenets of Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence®️ and the transformative power of play. This approach helps leaders and teams build mental fitness, break through limiting beliefs, and tap into their full potential.
