Everything about Liz speaks to professionalism in her craft, and I would recommend her insights and outreach to anyone serious about the topics of professional growth, leadership development and personal transcendence. These workshops were a journey of enlightenment for me, with a most capable guide in Liz Bentley.

I’ve recently had the pleasure of attending Liz Bentley’s Emerging Leaders Workshop prior to the SHRM convention. In the two full days, she held the audience of 50+ attendees in awe of her command of the material, humor and control of the message. I am impressed with her coaching skills and her ability to connect with a crowd on an individual level.

Thank you, Liz Bentley Associates for creating a Leadership Training class that goes above and beyond in teaching people how to be successful in all aspects of their life. Anyone who is serious about this class and follows through will experience a positive change.

Linda, Program Manager

We have many long-term employees who do not believe they can be taught a more effective way to handle their business. From the first time I spoke with Liz, I knew her intelligent, tactful, yet straight-forward demeanor would blend well with multiple personalities; she has never disappointed us. Her well-rounded experience, both professional and personal, give her the leverage for her success. We have since partnered with Liz for multiple training, leadership and coaching initiatives.

I enjoyed Liz's ability to intersperse humor in her presentation. She kept the topic relevant but light and allowed people to laugh at themselves.

Liz is a very dynamic presenter and her experience in the corporate world made her a convincing voice and role model for considering fundamental changes in my leadership style. The skills and techniques I learned from Liz have made an immediate impact on my leadership skills, and perhaps more importantly, sharpened the vision for my personal and career goals. I would strongly recommend Liz to anyone looking to grow as a professional, and as a person.

This was a phenomenal class. I have taken this back to my team and we are still learning from Liz's skills and her amazing way of teaching it. Just fantastic. Please have Liz come back next year so that I can bring my whole team to be tutored by her.

Thanks to Liz, my career and my life have been completely re-organized, refocused, and re-energized. In only a few weekly sessions, Liz helped me identify my strengths, goals, and ways to focus my priorities and time so that I have a work balance and life satisfaction that I never had in 20+ years as a program manager.

This is the fourth time we have invited Liz to speak to our group, well in excess of other speakers we have considered. Liz’s presentations and slides are always well prepared and thought-provoking. With timely material and engaging questions, Liz always leaves the audience wanting more.

Having attended seminars with many of the top ‘name brand’ training companies, I can say that the leadership and management training I received from Liz Bentley Associates was outstanding in its practical, no-nonsense and immediately applicable approach. Liz was excellent at keeping the whole group involved, and paced her curriculum in a way that made it easy to apply it to the team immediately.

Liz challenges the status quo and invites her audience to view their circumstances in a new way that results in audience excitement and enthusiasm for growth. Liz gets business and her years of working 1:1 with top level executives makes her prepared to handle the most unique of situations.

Liz Bentley is the Olympian business coach that has been a magical secret weapon of many uber successful influencers. She created and conducted a great and memorable Team-building Day for my team, which was a big success all around. Everyone was fully engaged and captivated by her energy, lively presentation and hilarious stories. Much was learned about ourselves and our group chemistry. For me, the seminar served as a strong endorsement of our bond and good fortune to share our careers together.

We have been working with Liz Bentley for a couple of years now, and I don’t think we’ll ever stop! In my particular organization, our work has been to move people to the next level of leadership. Liz brings just the right amount of compassion and expectation to this, and her input and collaboration has helped all of those she’s worked with here to achieve true growth. Everyone on my team is creative, I have found that traditional coaching models do not always apply. Liz really understands the creative spirit and has worked beautifully helping people find strength in operation and tactical growth, without curtailing their inspiration.
