Public Speaking Training

+ Communication Coaching

for Women Leaders

I help women leaders get comfortable with self-advocacy.

We know speaking up for ourselves is needed to advance our careers - and for our own peace of mind!

But for many women leaders, self-promotion and assertive communication feels uncomfortable, selfish, and like we’re being arrogant, bossy, or ‘too bold’.

So, how can you self-advocate in a way that feels comfortable, authentic, and respects your values, but still supports your own success?

Hi, I’m Liz Parsons.

I want to see more women in positions of senior leadership.

Unfortunately, getting the career success you want is determined not only by how well you do your job, but by how well you can advocate for yourself, speak up about your strengths and accomplishments, and promote your own career goals.

Do you have something to say, but you struggle to say it? I help you find your voice, reclaim your power and your confidence, so you can start asking for what you want, need, and deserve without the self-doubt, uncertainty, and insecurity.

As a Coach: Hundreds of women leaders have trusted me to be their coach during over 3000+ hours of 1:1 coaching and over 10 years as a coach.

As a Trainer: I’ve been leading presentations for 20+ years, and teaching presentation skills for 15+ years.

Communication as Self-Advocacy

“In the balance of comfort and challenge, we create space for growth.”

My #1 value is growth. And my superpower is listening. It is important to me that you feel safe, heard, accepted, and validated when you coach with me. But, if you’re always comfortable, you’re not learning. To support your growth, I will challenge you. I will call you out when you are working against yourself. This is the value of Comfort/Challenge Coaching.

What is my coaching style?

  • Many clients report that coaching with me for 3, 6, or 12 months is ‘life changing’

  • My clients say they feel grounded, confident, energized, and validated after a coaching session with me.

  • I build deep trust with my clients by making them feel safe, seen, and heard.

  • My communication style is warm, direct, and curious.

  • "Liz is truly the best coach I could possibly ask for - she is helping me to ascend and transcend to new levels I'd not imagined. I am so grateful for her dedication support and profound questions/observations that keep me continually growing and developing."

    S.R. 2024

  • "A genuine chemistry and energy from Liz she's made me feel seen and heard whilst also challenging me to go deep and think about things I wasn't openly confronting. Cannot wait to speak again. "

    E.T. 2023

  • "Thank you Liz as always for your insights kindness positive energy and gentle pointers that deliver sucker punches of awareness and dawning realisations. I love our sessions and you've helped me so much. Thank you thank you. "

    N.I. 2023

  • "Liz has been able to help me to understand what is really important to me. I tend to be very rational and straight forward and she helps me to bring awareness to other important aspects that I might neglect and gives me structure to balance my emotions. She is a kind and compassionate coach that will also let me know when I'm fooling myself or running away from something. I get very inspired and thoughtful after our sessions!"

    -I.S. 2021

  • "I appreciated Liz’s gentleness and sensitivity and the way she kept checking in to see if I was comfortable and if the session was progressing in a helpful way. The questions were useful; they helped me go further in exploring what was in my mind, emotions, and body. Sometimes I didn’t feel comfortable being in the driver’s seat, but mostly the gaps created room for me to find or follow helpful streams of thinking and feeling. As a self-aware person, I didn’t know what coaching could offer, so I was surprised that it yielded very positive things."

    -L.Z. 2019

  • “Liz was comfortable with the big emotions I brought to the coaching sessions, and she made me feel comfortable because she didn’t hesitate to dive in. She is a warm and comfortable presence. It's easy to be relaxed talking to her because she emanates comfort. She was never in a rush and let me get my thoughts out, with no need to hurry. She acknowledged the effort I was putting into working on myself which helped me to realize how far I'd come. Liz was super empathetic and was comfortable with me being vulnerable, never worried by my tears. Liz's creativity was also key to helping me find solutions. I recommend her without hesitation.”

    -I.I. 2021

  • “Liz lets me talk and makes me feel everything I say is relevant. Her coaching helps me make questions about myself feel more relevant. And helps me identify ways to deal with myself better and how to tackle future challenges.”
