Grief at work - What our Customers are saying
“
We invited Liz to eBay to join us as an expert on the topic of grief and change. In a live virtual interview, we talked about how dealing with change is an individual process and can resemble the process of grieving. We looked at different forms and shapes of grief, and how becoming more familiar with grief can support us in our own emotions as well as in the way we connect with others. Liz was a wonderful speaker, she immediately connected with the audience and inspired a great conversation about human connection, empathy and compassion

Our organisation has run a number of Dealing with Grief webinars with Liz. Each occasion has been an incredibly insightful and impactful experience.
Liz approaches this sensitive topic with the utmost compassion, expertise, and professionalism.
Throughout the sessions, Liz demonstrated a profound understanding of the grieving process, offering practical strategies and empathetic support to help participants navigate their own journeys. Her ability to create a safe and inclusive environment encouraged open discussion and allowed attendees to share their experiences and feelings without judgment.
What stood out most was Liz’s genuine empathy and dedication to helping others. She seamlessly blended evidence-based practices with heartfelt personal anecdotes, making the content both relatable and actionable.
I highly recommend Liz for her exceptional ability to handle such a delicate subject with care and expertise.

From my first conversations with Liz, I was energised and moved by her care for people and broad understanding of the human experience of grief. Her stories and examples of situations illustrated the complexity and very personal nature of grief and the way that her compassion, understanding and connection helped people navigate such a wide variety of situations. I personally was learning so much to apply in my personal and professional life, and saw many connections between her deep expertise and the needs of the corporate world as the magnitude of change people were navigating in their personal and professional lives continues to grow and accelerate. I was thrilled to have an opportunity to share the value I was gaining through my conversations with Liz with a broader audience as part of our leadership development program in eBay and enhance our ability as leaders to connect with and support ourselves and others in the workplace while juggling the complexity of our emotions, experiences and at times, the overwhelm to show up at our best.

Liz’s Grief Session with our company was informative and practical, helping us to manage all aspects of grief in the workplace. Liz guided us through welcoming staff members back to work after a significant loss & supporting the team on how to approach the difficult subject. Some key takeaways from our group were the Do’s and Don’ts that Liz provided when speaking to someone going through a significant loss in their life.
These tips were not only helpful in the workplace, but also a great guide on how to navigate the difficult topic in day-to-day life. As a result of our session with Liz, we are a more grief literate company. Thanks Liz!

Hi Liz, I am so sorry for the Friday evening email, but I couldn’t let tonight pass by without thanking you a million times for last night. The resounding response this morning, the conversations in the staffroom with those who were at your talk, but also those who were not there but were listening to our experience of your talk, was amazing. Also….. the stories that emerged this morning of grief from staff members who have never spoken before… we just spoke and talked and wow, the topic used to scare me a little and I honestly feel so much more ready in facing it, but also so aware of how much more I have to and want to learn.
Have a lovely weekend Liz and honestly, thanks so much again.
