Liz Bentley

I have had the privilege of working with Liz Bentley for more than 15 years, and her impact has been transformational. She has changed my life through an incredible ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and push you to see what is possible—often before you see it yourself. Her guidance has shaped the way I lead, communicate, and make decisions, both professionally and personally. She is not just an executive coach; she is a trusted thought partner and catalyst for meaningful growth.

Liz has been instrumental in identifying growth areas within our leadership team. By understanding our culture and challenges, she designed solutions that are logical, achievable, and measurable. While the process demands full commitment, Liz has created a clear pathway forward that has our team’s full buy-in.

Liz has been an instrumental part of my success in building high performing teams across several companies. She has a unique ability to identify opportunities for my continual improvement as an executive. Moreover, she understands how to put that into action in the context of real world corporate dynamics on a daily basis.

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.

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.

I have worked with Liz Bentley Associates for over 16 years, and it has truly changed my life. Liz and her team have transformed the way I think and communicate, making me a more effective leader across every area of my life. Our entire executive team has also engaged with LBA coaches and consistently had exceptional experiences. Each session brings fresh insight, practical strategies, and new ways to better motivate and mentor our people. I am incredibly grateful for the impact LBA has had on both me and our organization.

Liz Bentley has an unparalleled ability to quickly size up any corporate landscape--downloading important dynamics and dispensing advice that is immediately actionable. As a coach, Liz commands your trust with her authority and compassion—you want to listen to her and put her suggestions to work. Her personalized approach charts a clear path to success, and her innovative, goal-driven methods have both instantaneous and far-reaching, cumulative effects. Liz has joined the ranks of a select number of bad-ass business leaders I admire personally and rely on professionally. 

During my coaching, Liz became more than just a professional resource: she was a tough-talking mentor and a cheerleading friend. Having her insight into how even minor interactions with others can shape perceptions and grow (or slow) productivity for everyone was a game-changer for me.

Liz Bentley and her team are an excellent resource for Sotheby’s International Realty.  Liz has made a powerful impact on our management team, helping us tackle blind spots and hone our communication skills to become more effective leaders.  Her one-on-one coaching advice and strategies have been life-changing for many of our employees and our organization overall.

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.

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.

Our company has chosen to invest in itself, its executive team and managers with Liz Bentley Associates. They are teaching us how to better listen, plan, communicate and build our future. The company and I are more focused than ever before.

The most fascinating thing working with Liz is the predictability of how a conversation will go based on the personality type of people involved. I have been in a tough situation to let someone go and in the preparation of this meeting we sat down and discussed the flow of the conversation. The real conversation then was like a replay – unbelievable. I have never been better prepared for such a tough conversation.

As a trusted advisor, Liz Bentley is passionate about creating culture that leads to sustained peak performance. Through her coaching, she has not only been a catalyst in my personal development but made an indelible impact on the potential of the marketing function in our company. I couldn’t do it without her.

It was such a pleasure to have Liz Bentley as our keynote speaker for our Microsoft 2016 Annual Women’s Conference in New York City. She has a unique talent to draw in an audience with her personal stories, real world client examples and captivating personality. We all left with practical knowledge and tools that will certainly help empower us in our jobs. I would highly recommend her to any organization looking for a highly dynamic speaker!
