Coaching has been life changing!

Working with Elizabeth has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the moment I heard her speak to my networking group, I knew I had to have her as my life and business coach. As an entrepreneur, I definitely had a lone ranger mentality, and I was suffering from exhaustion! My tank was running on empty. I knew I would experience burnout quickly from all the commitments I had made. Coaching

Inspiring, engaging and uplifting!

Elizabeth Barbour was a recent guest speaker at Florida Commerce Credit Union’s Small Business Seminar Series. She is inspiring, engaging and uplifting! Our audience members loved her personal style and her funny stories. Even in a large room, she connects with participants intimately and they feel like she’s speaking directly with them. If you are looking for a dynamic speaker for a professional group of business women and men, you won’t regret hiring Elizabeth!

Your reading was spot on for me

You’re the perfect person to help someone who believes in church AND knows there is something more beyond what we can see… Your reading was spot on for me. Now it is several months later and I have finally extricated myself from the toxic work situation I was in and I am finally free! Thank you for helping me find my way.

She challenged me to move out of my comfort zone

If you are looking for a coach, look no further than Elizabeth. I had known her for 7 years and when I was ready to start my consulting business, I couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else. She is the perfect blend of encourager and challenger. She challenged me to move out of my comfort zone and by doing so I signed 2 new clients in our very first month of coaching. She helped me identify and

Relevant information, pertinent insights

Elizabeth was a terrific choice as both our opening and closing keynote speaker for the BPW Women’s Conference. Offering relevant information, pertinent insights, personal vignettes and words of motivation, Elizabeth captured the spirit of this group and hit exactly the right note of inspiration to move the day forward and to send the attendees forth empowered and full of possibility.

Interactive, informative presentation

Elizabeth came to the ELC as a referral. We initially had her speak to 60 of our contracted childcare providers on business success and she did such a great job engaging the crowd; we invited her back to provide training to our employees! They loved her interactive, informative presentation on using the Myers-Briggs to enhance communication. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Doubled my clients and increased efficiency & confidence

Since coaching with Elizabeth, I have doubled the number of clients in my coaching practice, developed business systems that increase my efficiency and effectiveness, increased my confidence and competence, attracted and seized greater opportunities to expand my business and enhanced my personal development. When I look back to where I was 2 years ago, I barely recognize myself. Even though I’m a coach, I struggled with applying the tools, techniques and practices that would make

The journeys you’ve done for me have helped reach a deeper level

I have tried traditional talk therapy, coaching, and a whole lot of self help, but the journeys you’ve done for me have helped reach a deeper level than I’ve been able to with these more traditional approaches. I’m an academic and a natural skeptic, but I know and trust you so much as a person that I wanted to open myself up to this process. I’m incredibly glad that I did. Your ability to tap
