Her Story
About Elizabeth
I started the Life Edit Project after finding life coaching more effective than other self-help methods during my own tough times. I began with a blog to document my journey and realized I could help others, turning it into a coaching practice. As a solopreneur, I handle everything from signing clients to marketing. My coaching focuses on helping women make decisions faster at life's crossroads. I also work full-time in public and non-profit roles as a professional helper, improving communities at a larger scale. I host a podcast with over 100 episodes sharing frameworks and discoveries from coaching. I am currently the chair of the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum board in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Elizabeth
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to not stopping. There is no such thing as success without setbacks. The difference between a setback and an ending is the decision to keep going, so keep going.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
A former boss told me that I get to choose whether I come back to the job. This woke me up during a career rut, helping me realize I was choosing to be there every day and that I could make different choices to create the life I want.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Try as many things as possible. It is way too easy to feel like there is one way to do it or one path to success, but that is not true. There are many right ways and many things that will work, so try as many of them as possible to figure out what works for you.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
There are a lot of coaches out there, which is great because it allows for more specialized coaching so people can find exactly what they need. However, it can also feel like a lot of noise and competition, making it hard to be seen and sometimes harder to feel successful even when you are. Social media metrics like followers and views can be distracting and are not the same as true success.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Creativity is important to me because I enjoy innovating, gaining inspiration, and trying new things. Connection is a big value as I work and function best when connected to others and to a purpose bigger than myself. Respect for humanity is also key; I approach everyone with respect for their sovereignty, individuality, and uniqueness, believing the world works best when we each operate in our own lane.
