What is Project Rise?
Project Rise is a six month coaching programme for female leaders to grow in career courage and transform the way they lead and inspire others. It is delivered virtually through a powerful blend of personalised one-to-one coaching and small group training sessions over Zoom.
The programme is the result of 8 years of coaching over 200+ individual female leaders and the commonalities and issues they faced as their careers progressed.
We put together Project Rise with one simple objective in mind...
"Take brilliant female managers and help them make the transition into outstanding female leaders."
We focus on deep personal transformation to build a compassionate leader’s mindset, master coaching skills to empower others and deepen the mental agility to prioritise the right things.

What past Project Rise leaders had to say...
“Just Do It! I was apprehensive about the investment, but it was completely worth it, and I know it will keep paying off in the future.
Liz helped me learn so much about myself, my values, and what I really want. I now know what leader I want to become and how to make my career work for me, and I have the toolkit to move forward in a more focused, strategic and value-driven way.’
Holly Sloan
Key Account Manager, ON
“When I look at the coaching goals I set 6 months ago, it's pretty amazing to see that I have reached all of them.
I’ve finally met that balance of being able to give my team the attention they need whilst also being able to support the strategic leadership efforts that I need to focus on.
I am clearer about my role and how to lead my team to think for themselves. I have stopped trying to prove myself, which has made a huge difference. I highly recommend the programme. Really glad I did it."
"Before working with Liz, I would get anxious and stressed during any event that involved conflict or disagreement.
The coaching has been life-changing and has helped me better understand myself and why I think and react in certain ways.
I never quite realised how judgemental of myself I really was which was holding me back from my true potential.

Thanks for discovering Project Rise, your next step in realising your potential as a brilliant leader (at work and at home).
I help leaders in marketing overcome the limiting beliefs and autopilot patterns that are standing in the way of the impact and income they know they’re truly capable of, so they can more fully embody their potential and serve their purpose in a deep way.
With a foundational career in the marketing world working with iconic global brands and 8 years of experience in coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of women step into masterful self-leadership by learning the tools and techniques they need to confidently coach their teams through transformation and build businesses they love.
The world is craving more female leaders just like you.
Especially the marketing industry. And I know that because you’re here, you’re ready to step into your next level of growth.
So let’s get started!
To your pivot,
