Liz Cruz

Liz Cruz (she/they) is a leadership and executive coach who works with people who want to grow their emotional intelligence (EQ) skills and find their authentic leadership voice. She enjoys working with a diverse group of clients; a special area of interest is supporting LGBTQ+ leaders in attaining their development goals. Liz’s coaching approach is informed by her deeply held belief that each of us is inherently brilliant, and that the best solutions to our leadership challenges are found in our deep knowledge of ourselves. Her process begins with assessing the client’s emotional intelligence strengths through the EQ-i (the leading EQ assessment) and exploring how to bring them to bear in the challenges at hand. Liz helps her clients to learn about themselves, to investigate their feelings and beliefs, and to build a practice of taking small but powerful actions to create radical change in their leadership.
