Kate Norgrove, Communications Manager Global Movement for Children
'When Hope and Homes for Children first started, we benefited from a lot of start-up publicity, but within a couple of years this faded and our profile needed a boost. Thankfully we found Elizabeth or Elizabeth found us - and she immediately saw the potential and delivered. What I remember most was her superb organisation, her eye for an opportunity, grasp of child rights, and how utterly professional she was. As the director liaising with her I could not have asked for more.'

“Elizabeth's coaching made such a difference during my slot on TV One recently. I felt rock solid and prepared for anything. The two sessions made all the difference to my ability to deal with the media, and to my confidence in myself as a spokesperson for my business. Many people commented on how well I held myself during the live TV interview. I was totally prepared and I would strongly recommend Elizabeth.”
Charlotte Squire, Editor, Happyzine
"Elizabeth co-led our women's support group, which was enriched by her teaching skills and her understanding of issues affecting women. Elizabeth facilitated sessions on life satisfaction and happiness, helping the group to identify their strengths, challenge negative thinking and to learn new strategies for interpreting life events. Her insight and knowledge on a variety of topics, including relationship skills, mental health, and parenting, were very helpful in generating discussion and empowering others."
Joanne Smith, Social Worker, and Wendy Spragg, Counsellor, Herenga Wahine Women's Group
"After struggling to make my point through several interviews I was faced with a slot on the national news. Elizabeth came to the rescue with clear, well presented instructions just minutes before the interview. The difference was immediate with a great interview in which I confidently made clear points. Since then I have regularly spoken on the radio, applying the skills Elizabeth taught me again and again. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.”

In fact, one of the caretakers mentioned to me just recently how inspired he had been from attending her training course."
