“Elizabeth gave us just the right amount of encouragement and challenge to help us build capacity in our podcasting and public engagement. Her experience in being a public voice and helping others to grow in this area were incredibly valuable in helping us to take stock and see where we might up our game.”
Dr Ruth M. Bancewicz, Faraday Centre for Science and Religion
Coaching client:
Half an hour on a call with Elizabeth brought more clarity than weeks of thinking about things myself. She was somehow able to sift through all the information I shared about my context and get to the heart of what really mattered in such a short amount of time. Her questions were focused, insightful and helped me understand what I needed to focus on to make a decision. She had an ability to identify what matters and help me to see myself in relation to these things. It was as if she held up a mirror and enabled me to look at what I needed to see.

Elizabeth Oldfield is a pleasure and inspiration to work with because she commits herself wholeheartedly to whatever she gives her time to and brings out the best in others. Elizabeth held the spirit and structure of the festival we’d asked her to host with poise and elan. Beyond the essential tasks of keeping time and adhering to the programme, she prepared for and chaired our first major plenary talk in a way that set the tone of playful gravity of purpose for the whole event. Elizabeth was invariably amusing, enlivening, reassuring and suitably challenging in her holding of the larger collective space; and she went beyond the call of duty by making herself available to listen to all participants who needed a private conversation. Every large event needs someone to be entrusted with the red thread that ties all the activities together and carries the meaning of it all. With her gentle authority, warmth, keen intellect and charm,Elizabeth is ideally equipped for that task.

Elizabeth opened space for profound conversation, wise reflection, and deep mutual learning. Her ability to illustrate complex ideas with practical, lived experience helped our group find new insights, enrich relationships, and inspired hope. I'm so grateful to work with her

Training client:
Elizabeth’s contributions to our classes were always clearly expressed, insightful, well-informed and directly relevant to the situations our students have to face in their workplaces. The breadth and depth of her experience was always evident and her communication exceptional throughout. Our students gained much from interacting with Elizabeth and we’re looking forward to having her back with us soon.

Elizabeth is a brilliant host. She took time before the event to really understand what we were trying to create, and always had useful input and ideas.
During the 4 day event itself she struck a perfect balance of practicality with wisdom and inspiration. As well as making the participants feel safe, welcomed and seen she also injected excellent ideas, prompts and was extremely agile in her responses.
She hosted an excellent interview with one of the speakers, and was genuinely central to the success of the event. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
