Woman of the Week ~ Liza Lewis

Here at Executive Elements, we like to feature fantastic women we think you should know. Some of these women are clients, some are friends, and some are women we’ve only just met. But they all have this in common: they are dynamic, interesting women who have agreed to share with us their insights and secrets to success.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to navigate situations and then it’s helpful to talk it through with someone I trust. Strength and support are found in our personal and professional communities.
