Hi I'm Elizabeth - I help women-nonprofit leaders speak up and show up with confidence
I’m a Leadership Coach with 12+ years serving nonprofits, lover of dark chocolate and a healthy, high-functioning board.
And I also know what it’s like to be in your position. You want to change the world but some days you’re so busy, you barely have time to change your socks...
You have the ability and the commitment it takes to drive change. But if board challenges, conflicts or personality clashes are compromising your progress, it’s time to shift your board’s culture and rebalance the power dynamic.

How do I get my board to work with me and not against me when they’re micromanaging?
How can I raise more money and find time for this important mission when we’re so busy fire-fighting and reacting?
How can I get my ideas heard and take back command as a leader?
here's how I can help...

Let's shift the culture of your board and rebalance the power dynamic so you can grow your mission and deepen your impact.
let's get started!
We are a perfect match if...
You're a nonprofit leader in a small to midsize organization and you love your mission, but are starting to dread going to work.
You’re driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference so you can stop working but you can’t stop caring.
You crave meaningful work that creates a positive change and you believe it's possible to bridge the growing disconnect between you and your board.
You’re tired of pretzeling yourself to get your voice heard and you’re looking for a concrete strategy that honors your boundaries and moves the needle.
"Elizabeth’s coaching was the foundation of my progress. It gave me the opportunity, the platform and the space to look at myself in a way I had never thought (or even known) to look before. Her framework, tools, and support were paramount because they bolstered my belief in my own ability to resolve a work conflict that I was never able to until this point."
