Coach Elizabeth

What can I do for you?

With coaching you explore your purpose and potential, align these with your choices, while strengthening your resilience to change and challenges. Coaching helps overcome obstacles and deal with uncertainty so that you are empowered to take action. I foster confidence and autonomous decision making to find professional and personal opportunities.

You can contact me with questions about

Leadership

Low self- confidence, critical self-talk, and limiting beliefs can get in the way of exercising leadership. Also, gendered-socialization can result in people pleasing, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Coaching authentic leadership is the goal.

Autonomous Self-Confidence

Identifying one’s values and purpose builds confidence that is consistent and resilient, regardless of external messages or events.

Self-Coaching

Sharing coaching tools, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methodologies and neuroscience insights, allows for independent progress and builds long-term resilience.

Life Changes

Coaching makes life easier to manage, be it, moving, parenthood, menopause, “empty nest”, relationships, family dynamics, and other life events.

Career Transitions

Coaching can accompany changes in employment status, support job searches, prepare interviews, help develop new projects, and plan for retirement.

Grief and Loss

Coaching to make space for grief, honour loss, and find some lightness.

International Development

Coaching Diplomatic and Humanitarian officers and expatriates on how to thrive far from home and in difficult situations.

THIS IS HOW I WORK

Coaching begins with a non-binding meeting where you ask me questions and I share my coaching process. When you decide to continue, then we set an objective for the coaching sessions. This objective is chosen and defined by you and acts as a guiding light. Of course, it’s always possible to include different session-specific goals, depending on your coaching needs.

Each session is an exploration whereby I use a multitude of questions and coaching tools to uncover your strengths, resources, and options. Insights into what motivates you, what has meaning and purpose in your life, and what you value most, are used to move you closer to your stated objective. I use values-based coaching that helps you clarify your values so that you make decisions that foster autonomous self-confidence, based on who you are, not what others think.

Coaching is practical, as every session concludes with you choosing an action that moves you forward and committing to reaching your objective.
