About Liz Ellis

Hi, I’m Liz! I’m the Chief of Operations at Angel Studios, where we’re redefining how stories are told—and how talent is amplified. I’ve spent the past decade scaling high-growth teams, building operational systems that actually serve people, and making sure our culture isn’t just strong—it’s magnetic.But here’s the real secret to productivity, retention, and joy at work: People thrive when they’re seen for who they are, not just what they do.That’s why I brought Gallup CliftonStrengths into our company. As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, I help individuals and teams unlock what they naturally do best—then align roles, projects, and even personal goals around those strengths. I call it “Human Tetris,” and yes—it’s as fun and effective as it sounds.Coaching isn’t about personality tests or buzzwords. It’s about transformation. It’s the moment someone realizes their ‘annoying habit’ is actually a superpower when used intentionally. It’s rethinking how your team functions—so your best people don’t burn out, they shine brighter.If you’re ready to elevate your leadership, reignite your team, or align your life around what makes you you—I’d love to help you get there.

Experience

1. Gallup Certified Strengths Coach

   Gallup

   Nov 2016 — Present

   I brought StrengthsFinder to our company to make the most of our employees and bring out their best talents. I am a strong believer that those who live and use their Strengths are happier and more productive both at home and at work. I had the unique opportunity to coach one of Paul Allen\'s sons,(Paul was Gallups Global Strengths Evangelist), and it made me realize that I want to bring this opportunity to individuals and organizations everywhere. I became a Gallup Coach because reading your strengths report is interesting, but having a Strengths Coach is truly life-changing. Give me a call - I\'d love to help you or your organization capitalize on your Strengths. My Top 5 Strengths are Empathy, Developer, Relator, Achiever, and Consistency.My Profile in Gallup\'s Coach Directory:
