“I cannot recommend Lizzie’s coaching sessions more highly. Being new to coaching myself, Lizzie was able to immediately create an environment where I felt safe and trustworthy to really get the most of our work together. She has a relaxed, calm and confident coaching style which puts you at ease and allows for a greater breath of analysis and learning. Lizzie’s guidance and support is very present in the sessions, she always knows what to ask and provides such insightful prompts that really gave me demonstrable things to work on and achieve. A keen listener and sympathiser, she is everything you could hope for in a professional coach. Whilst I was with her I landed myself a dream job, all thanks to her care and guidance. ”

Lizzie designed the sessions really creatively, suggesting brilliant and appropriate activities to guide conversations. She held the sessions with great skill: they were well-paced and delivered with thoughtfulness, and so as to enable everyone in the group to contribute. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Lizzie.”

“Coaching with Lizzie was an invaluable help during a difficult period of career transitioning. My head was full of ideas and thoughts, and I was finding it difficult to see a clear way through to what the next step would be. Through Lizzie’s calm, professional manner and gentle but structured sessions I was able to discern my next steps with a clear set of goals. Lizzie held me accountable with setting realistic deadlines and I felt a real sense of achievement when I hit these. Due to my work with Lizzie I have a set of goals and objectives to work towards over the next 12 months and feel positive and confident about the direction of my career.”

“Lizzie’s approach to working with Maya was inquisitive, positive, encouraging and professional at all times. She showed a genuine commitment to supporting work that makes theatre more accessible to a wide range of people. She successfully led us through a process that enabled the company (staff, and key trustees) to reflect on where we were at, clearly identify steps for the future, and to plot these in a revised strategic and business plan. Her thorough and thoughtful approach brought new insights to the work of the company and how we can move forwards. Alongside this she expertly set up new administrative systems that will really support the organisation to function more smoothly going forwards. Lizzie proved to be a very valuable member of Maya, building strong relationships within our team and trustees, and also bringing new contacts and networks into the Maya fold. It was a real pleasure to work with her.”
— Suzanne Gorman, Artistic Director of Maya Productions
