Hi! Iā€™m Liz Barry. Outdoors-lover,

mum of four, and
go-to life and career coach.Ā 

help people like you find their bliss, so they can live the life and career theyā€™ll love.

20 years ago, my life hit a crossroads.Ā 

Iā€™d worked hard at uni. Iā€™d earned an alphabet after my name. Iā€™d landed a job as a clinical researcher at Roche Pharmaceuticals. I thought Iā€™d travel the world, earn bucket-loads of cash, and make my mum and dad proud.


But then the unthinkable happened.


My world was turned upside down, when both my parents lost their lives in a car accident. As the oldest of four, I stepped into the role of guiding my three younger brothers. And even through my own grief, I couldnā€™t help but notice. Something about being a mentor just feltā€¦ right.

Ā 

I launched headfirst into a journey of self-discovery, and soon realised what Iā€™d known deep down all along. I was in the wrong job, did the wrong degrees, and that none of it ā€˜fitā€™ me.

Ā 

I made the (super-scary) decision to leave my job, and retrain in Career Development at AUT in Auckland, New Zealand. So I could help people like me create the life and career path thatā€™s right for them.

Ā 

Many years and four wonderful children later, Iā€™m even more passionate about life and career coaching. Iā€™ve built a practice that combines evidence-based models and research, with a big dollop of personal experience.

Ā 

Itā€™s such a privilege to connect with people, understand their journey, and help them create a fulfilling and meaningful future.

ā€‹So they can build the confidence and skills they need to step boldly into it.

The Life of Liz...

Today - Loving what I do. And thatā€™s putting 20 years of learning, experience, and teaching into practice, with workshops, speaker engagements, and one-on-one life and career coaching sessions.

Enough of the professional stuff.Ā Letā€™s get a little personal...

Ā 

I dig the outdoors.

Whether itā€™s a three-day hike or a quick jaunt up a mountain, nothing makes me happier than being out in nature.Ā 

I love to dance

(and my kids love to tease me for it).

When lockdown finally ended, the first thing I did was enrol in hip hop classes. 10/10, would recommend.Ā 

Iā€™m a BIG fan of playing dress-up.

Nothing says #followyourbliss quite like a costume party, am I right?

 

So thatā€™s me! Now, letā€™s talk about you.

So, what makes me different?


Iā€™ve been where you are.


Iā€™ve experienced that pit-in-your-stomach feeling of knowing youā€™re in the wrong job.

Iā€™ve made the bold leap into a new career, and a new life.

Iā€™ve become a mum (four times over!) and navigated all its unique challenges.

Iā€™ve helped my husband start a business with over 90 staff in five locations, so I know first-hand the journey of a start-up plus what employers are looking for.

Iā€™ve got an open mind, and a genuine love for helping people.

But most of all, I love, love, LOVE my clients.
And they love me, too!
