Before founding RealEyes Coaching, LLC, I spent years in academia as a research professor, driven by a deep curiosity about human behavior, identity, and purpose. My work explored how people experience authenticity, meaning, and transformation through their relationships with place (wilderness) and self.
But insight alone wasn’t enough. I felt called to bring that work into the real world, where growth isn’t just theoretical, but personal, practical, and alive.
Today, I blend that academic foundation—a PhD in Geography and a lifelong fascination with people, places, and meaning—with professional credentials in coaching psychology, neuroscience-informed methods, and leadership development.
I’m an ICF-certified coach, a Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC), and a trained Emergenetics® associate.
My coaching is rooted in The Alignment Method™ - an ontological and neuroscience-informed framework that helps leaders align who they are and how they lead.
Through this approach, clients learn to:
build awareness of their patterns and presence,
take courageous, intentional action, and
create outcomes that reflect their values and vision.
This isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about coming home to yourself as you lead, grow, and make an impact.
I came into coaching feeling unsure about my direction. Elizabeth helped me reconnect with what I actually enjoy and want to pursue—just by asking the right questions.
She made me realize I already had what I needed to move forward. Since working with her, I’ve been more confident in networking and have even received multiple job offers. I feel clearer, more capable, and finally excited about what’s next.
I asked Elizabeth for help navigating a very complicated and highly stressful promotion opportunity - and ended up gaining so much more.
She helped me strengthen my resume, improve my interview skills, and—most importantly—build real confidence in myself. Her insight, compassion, and practical tools made an intimidating process feel manageable. I walked away feeling prepared, empowered, and ready to take the next step.
Real change requires more than good advice—it requires skill, structure, and science. My work is grounded in years of academic research, industry-recognized certifications, and hands-on experience coaching professionals across sectors.
From neuroscience-informed coaching to leadership development and behavioral profiling, I bring the tools that help you grow with clarity, not chaos.
