About Liz Cruz

Hey, I\'m Liz Cruz, your friendly Queer Leadership Coach & fellow \'weird kid\' on the playground! ‍🦄 I specialize in helping queer leaders find their inner brilliance. That\'s not about changing who you are – you\'re already powerful. It\'s about unlocking your untapped wisdom, practicing new skills, and leading authentically while disrupting harmful leadership norms rooted in white supremacy culture. As a lifelong artist (currently obsessed with watercolors and quilting), an eternal optimist, and a relentless learner, I bring creativity, empathy, and a deep-rooted queer femme perspective to leadership coaching. Let\'s connect! Drop me a message and share something about yourself. I love meeting fellow change-makers and kindred spirits.(Also, if you have a bad joke to share you\'re already my new best friend.) Ready to see what this queer leadership coaching stuff is all about? Join me for a free group coaching session! You can sign up here: yeah, also: because I have too many ideas in my brain to do just one thing, I have a whole consulting arm of my practice where I work in partnership with some of my favorite people. We help teams of all sorts deal with challenges of all types.(Better collaboration? Help with your goals and strategic planning? In a moment of critical uncertainty? We can help!)
