“Liz gave a presentation for Earth day; it was fabulous. Her energy is amazing, thank you for sharing it. Too often presenters try to be too professional or try to impress. Liz’s passion is v. impressive & inspirational ~ you can tell she loves what she does, believes in it ~ it’s who she is!” May 18, 2010

“Lizz has quickly become one of the highest rated speakers for our executive education webinars. In short, Lizz’s presentations are awesome! Her presentation style is captivating, informative and extremely actionable – you’ll walk away not only smiling but also with the tools and information to solve your problems. Oh and beware, her presentation materials are incredibly engaging – give yourself some time if you start looking at one of her PowerPoints because you’ll have to go through the whole thing. Lizz is also a pleasure to work with and always goes the extra mile to make her presentations outstanding.” January 29, 2010

Tom Murtaugh,
hired Lizz as a Speaker in 2009, and hired Lizz more than once

“Lizz recently spoke at the Kennedy Onrec Conference in Chicago on the subject of employer branding. She did such a fantastic job qualifying the critical need to promote an organization’s culture and focus on employer branding to attract, retain and repel.

She was spot on with research to support her claim, interesting examples of the good, the bad and the ugly and even reviewed audience member career sites with honest feedback. She was hilarious, engaging and memorable and I highly recommend Lizz for any speaking engagement opportunities in the future.

Kudos to you Lizz!” November 11, 2009

Thomas F.X. Licari, Professional Recruiter, Advocate of Recruitment Education, and Networking Evangelist, The Recruiter’s Association
was with another company when working with Lizz at EMERGE International

“I had the pleasure of working for Lizz both directly as her employee and also as a partner of her firm on a shared large scale project.
As a manager, Lizz is a rarity. She creates a caring and productive workplace, that encourages productivity and innovation while still making plenty of room for employee self development. Lizz provided the perfect balance of support, direction and motivation needed to keep you on track, but also the freedom and trust you needed to do the job independantly.
While you get a lot of work done and accomplish a lot when working with Lizz – the days are so enjoyable and the time goes by so quickly – it hardly seems like work at all. I feel truly blessed to have worked with Lizz and would do so again in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose.

Any organization, that is able to bring Lizz on board would be extremely fortunate to obtain such a responsive, likable, trustworthy and intelligent, ambassador.” March 6, 2009

Debbie Imboden, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, EMERGE International
reported to Lizz at EMERGE International

“I had the opportunity to meet Lizz when she spoke recently for the Pasadena For You Network a NAFE Affiliate Network and her talk was a inspiration to everyone in the room, the knowledge that she has about forming strategic alliances is outstanding and her presentation skills and style were easy for everyone in the room to follow.

Everyone felt that the knowledge she provided us was easy to understand and many suddenly learned what an impact of forming a strategic alliance would be for their company and left filled with excitement and knowledge of a subject that many had not knowledge of what it could mean for them and their firms.

I have since told many people about the experience and believe any company that is looking to form strategic alliances they need to hire her firm as working with her the company will advance their companies and their bottom line much faster than in trying to do it themselves.

I have since asked Lizz to be a speaker at two other professional organizations that I am involved with and would recommend her and her company to any firm needing to totally understand and move forward with learning about and implementing strategic alliances as she is the expert in the field.
