  • Communication competence

  • Conflict Negotiation and Mediation

  • Culture Shock, Transition and change

  • Dialogue, Deliberation and debate

  • Ethical Leadership

  • Listening competence

  • organizational Culture

  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access, Social Justice (IDEAS)

  • Team Building and Collaboration


Ethical Leadership for the workplace

Can we agree that the need for ethical leadership is urgent? It's critical that all leaders consistently ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ themselves:

โ“How are my ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€ shaping decision making?
โ“How is my ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป process impacting outcomes?
โ“How am I using my ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ and ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ?

This is why I offer a consulting focus on ETHICAL Leadership with 7 core competencies grounded in values, communication, power and care:

Resilience for Health Care Providers Training

For all Health Care Providers: To meet needs in our current public health crisis, a 2.5-day Resilience Bootcamp has been pared down to SIX tightly-focused 90-minute modules, offered over six weeks so that health care providers and leadership can stop, breathe, and take care of themselves. This course is first aid in the form of Resilience Training for all of us who are directly involved in health care โ€“ AND to any who are working hard behind the scenes caring for us in our missions.

In partnership with Virtue Medicine, this Mini-Bootcamp helps each of us quickly understand and immediately practice what is critical to building RESILIENCE in this time, for both survival and healing. As we put it into practice for ourselves, we can efficiently help our teams and patients do the same in the way we talk, listen, and map out our meaningful paths in each moment, even in suffering. Cost: $375/person. To register click here.


These are just a few of the instructional services that I offer.

What Workshop Clients Have to Say:

โ€œVery well delivered and clear. Expanded my mind!โ€

โ€œThis was one of the best Intercultural Leadership Development sessions in years. Please have her back for more.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll use it all the time - as a counselor itโ€™s great to learn new ways to let people in and work with them!โ€

โ€œElizabeth is all about validating experience, drawing out thoughts from everyone. She strikes a good balance between leaning into a hot topic, and being careful not to let one or two dominant voices be at the center each and every week. She is clearly well-practiced at leading these kinds of discussions.โ€

โ€œDr. Parksโ€™ presentation was the best one I have ever heard. If I donโ€™t apply it, I will be doing myself and my community a disservice.โ€
