  • From Safe for Work…

    I found the Satellite Sisters (which have given me years of JOY) through Liz’s career coaching show, Safe for Work. Liz’s gift and style in taking her experiences and and observations of the times is now being carried forth in wrangling all the issues of being ‘this age’ and providing new perspectives. Leah provides the valuable millennial view that we need to understand if we are out operating in the wider world. You’ve hit gold once again!

  • The 3rd/Third.

    I love Liz’s latest iteration in her kaleidoscope career both the Stanford journey and this new series of interviews.

    But the best episode which made me laugh so hard was the interview with Liz and Lian. The tale of the wedding was laugh out loud! Lovely and fun but it meets my motto (and book someday) “If everything went well, there’d be no stories to tell!”
