Sharing a stage with international leaders of corporate coaching such as Robin Banks, Russel Fox, and Justin Cogen, Lizette’s name has been gaining traction amongst such prevalent minds for her good work.

Working with authenticity, professionalism, empowerment, care, and self-belief at the heart of each workshop and product, Lizette has aided multiple corporate teams.
