This is what her clients have to say,

“Liz’s storytelling, research and practical application have challenged our paradigms around effective managerial practices that will take us forward and develop our multi-generational workforce.”

Lori Emerick | Global Director, Leadership & Management Development | Nike Inc

“In a large organisation it’s natural to worry about the “energy vampires” – those who are able to drain the energy and momentum from a team. I came across her book and was fascinated by the research about multipliers and diminishers and the impact a leader can have on a team’s creativity, ideas and even light bulb moments. I have since had her present to my team and would love to have her back in the future.”

Carine Clark | Senior VP & Chief Marketing Officer | Symantec

“You have no idea how great that talk was. I have *never* been in a Tech Talk where there wasn’t a room full of open lap tops. Never. Not Obama’s CIO Vivik Kundra, not the Executive Producer of House or Adam Savage from “Myth Busters” Not even Will.i.am. Twitter is a laptop open culture and you two managed to pull off what I thought was an impossible feat! I was impressed by the level of engagement and the number of questions at the end. You two are certainly a powerhouse.”

Janet Van Huysse | Vice President of Human Resources | Twitter

“I’m a newly promoted VP and “Multipliers” has unlocked for me how I need to lead in my new role. It is a leadership approach that will take me through the next 10 years of my career.”

Allison Mast | Vice President | GAP Inc

“I hired Liz as a coach to better achieve my potential. I really enjoyed working with her, and she made a huge difference in my effectiveness – noticed by many of my colleagues. I recommend her for executive coaching, organisational effectiveness and development.”

Dennis Moore | Division GM & SVP, SAP

“Every so often a book comes along that forces us to ask important and difficult questions of ourselves. Multipliers is such a book. It challenges us to imagine a dramatically more productive future for our organisations – one that requires letting go of some of the very behaviors that helped us get to the top.”

Tim Brown | CEO | IDEO

“Liz’s approach of combining leadership training with cross-functional problem solving is winning the battle for minds and culture, which is the hardest thing to do in business today.”

Ray Lane | General Partner | Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Former President, Oracle Corporates, Chairman of the Board HP
