Lizzie Elsey - About Lizzie


	About Lizzie

Lizzie received her Certification as an Integrative Life Coach from Debbie Ford’s Institute of Integrative Coaching in 2007. She is also certified by the CogNexus Institute in the art of Dialogue Mapping and is a teaching assistant for this Institute. She holds a BA from Lewis and Clark College and has had over 12 years of Business and Project Management experience.

Her choice to work primarily with business owners (male and female) and women in transition was made because she has personal experience in these two areas. She has learned from expected and unexpected life transitions and has learned what it’s like to be empowered by life, no matter what is happening around her. She has done (and continues to do) personal work of her own.

Lizzie helps people see their lives clearly and take action to create what they want. She works with her clients from a place of compassion and kindness balanced with honesty and the ability to cut through the stories and excuses that don’t serve her clients. She is serious about what she does and has a deep respect for the art of coaching. She is honored to serve her clients and is deeply committed to their growth, evolution and success.

Lizzie lives in beautiful Sonoma County, California and in her free time enjoys spending time with her family, outdoors.

About Coaching
As a coach, Lizzie is committed to the success of her clients. That means that she supports her clients in taking full responsibility for the quality, conditions and circumstances of their lives.

Coaching is present and future oriented, rather than being about the past. It is based on the concept of taking action. Coaching is not therapy or advice giving.

As a philosophy, Lizzie believes that her clients already have all the answers they need inside. Her job as a coach is to connect people with themselves in order for them to hear the truth about what they need to do to create the life they desire.

Coaching, among other things, is about deep listening, asking powerful questions, and helping to define clear, measurable goals and action steps that power people into their future.

From a client perspective, it is about letting go of patterns and behaviors that do not serve you and uncovering, connecting to and acting in accordance with what it means to be in full integrity with YOU.
