Liz sometimes describes her calling as helping to shape the places that enable people to live their best stories.

The power of story to shape our understanding of who we are, where we have been, and where we want to go has been a driving force in Liz’s work. She regularly shares stories from her work, the wisdom that they’d yielded, and the questions that they’ve inspired.

Watch some of her talks below.
