Lizzy's Story

About Lizzy

From the moment I was born, I was determined! I was born at 28 weeks with a 5% chance of survival and have challenged expectations and the status quo ever since!

I am at least the 8th generation of Army. Integrity (including authenticity), justice and connection have been embedded in me since childhood. 2 of my uncles were Killed in Action before I was born, so I have been brought up with an awareness of what true sacrifice means. This also instilled in me a passion to make a difference.

My value of justice came to the fore particularly in 2004. Then Medical Officers (doctors) not nurses in UK were funded to undertake PhDs. I put forward a strong case that nurses must be funded too. I was awarded the funding and this turned the tide. Before I left the Army at least 1 nurse per year was funded, irrespective of rank -job done! I went against the grain of military research at the time by exploring the impact of deployment on the partner left at home during deployment for my PhD research. This reflected my own experience of being left at home with my daughter while my husband deployed, as well as deploying leaving her behind not knowing if I would ever see my family again.

It is through my own life experience and research that I can empathise with you to help you find the resilience and confidence already within you, to own who you are, move from overwhelm and not feeling good enough to a sense of scarcity to calm, fulfilment with greater work/ life integration.

Eradicate Toxicity from the Workplace

My Mission and Purpose

To remove workplace toxicity by supporting authentic female leaders and entrepreneurs (and some men!) to find their voice in the boardroom, discover their confidence and uncover the awesomeness that is already within them.

This positive ripple effect means that they can then support their teams to do the same so there is no place for toxicity. There is no place for it as it can't survive.

Coaching for organisations
Own your Awesomeness

My Vision and Values

For all female leaders to own the awesomeness within them. Become a powerful, empowered and authentic leader who stands tall at the top of your game.

I am here to work with you on creating a legacy in which toxicity in the workplace does not exist as it is not tolerated.

I believe in justice, integrity, authenticity and connection. Let's not forget kindness leadership and fun, too!
