Adopt an alternative way of working that unleashes people to create their best work

Lizzie is inspirational and entirely refreshing in how she approaches organisations.  So many consultants that are involved in cultural change are wedded to particular systems with pre-set and somewhat formulaic ways of thinking and that’s just  classic old style for a lot of classic old style businesses. You may end up with a decent set of missions, visions and values etc, but you might as well file them in the bin once you’ve got it for all the real change they represent. Lizzie is much more inquisitive and open to  completely different types of structures and systems and the approach she takes is correspondingly open and organic.  If you are seriously interested in developing a different style of working, and can deal with the idea that you might, as a CEO or business leader, need to change yourself before you expect your staff to change, then Liberty Mind would be a good place to start. Lizzie is constantly trying to think beyond the paradigm and brings a wealth of business understanding and practical experience.  Her knowledge of more avant-garde ways of working could, in my opinion, be a real asset to many established companies who don’t quite “get it” when trying to address a youthful workforce or a younger customer demographic.

When starting a business we automatically skip to creating visions of what we’d like it to look and be like, bypassing the question of how we get there! Working closely with Lizzie at Liberty Mind has certainly helped us answer questions relating to company values and workplace flexibility. Lizzie’s has provided a really understanding approach to all of this, applying her knowledge and experience in a bespoke way that works for Pivot Search. Lizzie’s approach has helped up formulate company values that run consistently through the business and a flexible working structure that employees love! The journey has been thoroughly enjoyable and informative; throughout Lizzie has ensured we understand the mechanics behind the decisions we make. The ongoing support is invaluable with Lizzie interested to hear progress updates and making herself available to discuss positive changes. Something Lizzie prepares you for well is that not everything works first time; she encourages constant reviews and making changes to get the formula right! All in all a really great, valuable experience working with Lizzie; the results have had a positive impact on the business internally and helped attract talent to come work for us!

Working with Lizzie really allowed us to get to the root of our internal cultural issues. We knew since we transitioned to a hybrid working model that something wasn't quite right, but we just couldn't put our finger on why. The exercises Lizzie had us work through were super enlightening, and enabled us to have a really open and helpful dialogue about what an ideal hybrid working environment would look like for all of us. It also helped us see all the good stuff we were doing right!

Lizzie Benton is what the world of work needs. A voice of reason, conscience and agitation for good. Culture - Lizzie's sweet spot - is a tricky gig. It's both overlooked and over-simplified. Lizzie's take on culture, performance, systems, behaviours, and change are not just relevant but are ahead of the curve. It's always been a pleasure engaging with Lizzie, who's an excellent host, speaker, writer, podcaster, creator, curator, coach, consultant and advisor. Liberty Mind is apt because Lizzie helps minds be liberated.
