HI! I'M LIZ ⚡︎

Today, I am an entrepreneur, author, and leading workplace and community connection expert. But it all started when... 

Armed with a journalism degree and insatiable curiosity (and broke as a joke beyond that!) I bought a one-way plane ticket to Uganda.

I became a top 1% VC-backed female entrepreneur and built one of the world’s largest purpose-driven, sustainable fashion brands powered by social selling.

My work has been featured in/on: Vogue, Oprah, ABC, and Good Morning America. FORBES has named me as one of the top public speakers in America.

John Maxwell named me as one of the most transformational leaders in the world. (Equally as impressive, my three sons named me Mom! Where are my shoes??”)

Based on over a decade of research and real-life leadership experience, I’ve developed two frameworks to help move people out of waiting and into creating: Beginner’s Pluck™ & The Community Quotient™.

The Community Quotient™ will teach you how to harness the power of community to create a workplace culture (and life) marked by connection, collaboration, and growth.

Beginner’s Pluck™ will help you channel your “inner beginner” and completely rethink and reframe failure to help foster curiosity, innovation, and purpose in your work and life. 

When you hire me to come speak at your organization, I’ll deliver not just a talk, but a transformative experience that will elevate your entire organization, leaving your audience inspired, connected, and equipped to achieve their version of success. 

Pluck, yeah!
