London Borough of Wandsworth officer on Hitchhikers Guide to Planet Councillor 

"Since first taking on more responsibilities at my authority I’ve worked with Liz, it’s a journey that now has me leading my council. She’s helped me reflect on my strengths and where I need to focus to manage the ever increasing demands on my time and capacity. She’s helped me to recognise the importance of taking time for myself and my family in maintaining resilience and that personal development and comfort in a role is something that doesn’t happen overnight. I’ve really valued my time working with her."

Leader of Northern Metropolitan Council

"Liz’s mentoring was impactful and invaluable to me. She really listens, beyond just your words. She was always available, supportive, kind, fun and always clear and direct with advice and suggestions which I really appreciated, and which really helped me to focus on my cabinet portfolio and achieving council administration’s goals."

Planning Cabinet Member at District Council

"Such a good training session with Liz.  The training was pitched perfectly to the level of the audience.   The roles play sessions were great fun, entered into with gusto by all participants and were as much therapy as training. When you do the role play, ask for 'two hats Liz', a great way to understand how to manage a difficult meeting. Liz brings 20 years of being a councillor, from backbencher to leader, and it is that experience that makes her training sessions so valuable."

Leader of London Borough

"Liz combines expertise with an engaging style that makes her training sessions  practical and enjoyable."

Cabinet Member at County Council

"I have always found Liz to be a diligent, insightful, approachable and fair LGA peer. Regardless of party background or indeed those without a party, Liz has always given her best and utmost support to whatever you strive to do. I have no hesitation in recommending Liz."
