“I worked with Liz on a year-long coaching programme. Liz is a natural coach and I absolutely always looked forward to our sessions. She asked the right and sufficient amount of questions to help guide me throughout the year. In addition she often recommended valuable tips / books / exercises that really helped me. My third session with her was my absolute best – it really provided me with so much clarity and I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I would definitely work with Liz again. Thank you! “ Director, Big 4 Consulting firm
“Coping with uncertainty and change in the most challenging business environment for 70 years: not the easiest task for a business coach but it was striking how much Liz was able to help me to develop a sensible and balanced approach for my company and my leadership role. And it was not just what happened at the session but also the immediate benefit of having a changed perspective at work from the next day. The focus was always on meaningful and fun actions which made the coaching experience very different to other personal development approaches. Well worth every penny.” Director of planning and management consultancy
“I sought Liz’s help with ironing out some managerial and strategic issues. For every business challenge that I brought to Liz’s coaching sessions, I found that her timely and subtle input guided my problem-solving towards solutions that were workable and that I felt I wholly owned. I would therefore highly recommend business coaching with Liz.”

She is very respectful of the creative product and was key in bringing our book to life in exactly the way my co-author and I first envisioned it. I would not hesitate to work with Liz again or recommend her to anyone who is thinking of working with her.”

“Over the years I have had the opportunity of working with a number of publishers. There is no doubt that Liz Gooster has been the most professional and responsive. I have always found her to be enthusiastic, encouraging and yet ready to give honest and helpful advice. She has also impressed me with her willingness to think creatively when it comes to marketing in, what can be, quite a conservative industry. It has been a pleasure working with Liz and I look forward to collaborating with her in the years to come.” Shaun Smith, Founder, shaunsmith + co
“Liz is an outstanding publishing executive. Her advice has been critical to the success of the two books I have published under the FT Prentice Hall imprint, and I very much value her editorial skills with respect to content and overall storyline. She is really the complete editor, while at the same time displaying excellent judgement in related commerical areas.” John Gattorna, Executive Chairman at Gattorna Alignment P/L
“I was privileged to have Liz as my editor at Pearson Education. Having heard many negative stories about working with mainstream publishers, all doubts were dispelled by Liz’s approach. She was a delight to work with. Highly professional, always responsive and provided tremendous input to the finished manuscript. Liz wouldn’t demand and enforce changes but make intelligent observations and suggestions that made sense. I would highly recommend working with Liz both as a publisher and in her coaching role. The qualities she showed are essential in both fields. The abilities to think, listen and work collaboratively are among her greatest strengths.” Andy Lopata, Director, H&A Lopata Ltd, Blogger for the Huffington Post
“Liz brought great skills to the project from start to finish. Having a great deal of knowledge of her market areas, she provides insightful, to the point feedback and guidance. She steered and connected all the various parts of her company and me to work together well. Most importantly she brought great warmth, humour and tact to all her work.” Rosie Miller, Managing Director, RosyFutures

“I’ve worked with Liz on several books, and she has been a really excellent editor and publisher. As a publisher Liz balances creativity and an interest in new ideas with a strong commercial viewpoint. From an editorial perspective Liz is supportive, but critical when work needs to be criticised. The results are always better for her feedback. On top of this, she is great fun to work with!” Richard Newton, Director, Enixus Ltd and Torn Edge
“Working with Liz is always a lot of fun. We’ve created numerous jacket and series designs with her and always had great results. Working with us designers is challenging at the best of times, giving creative freedom whilst keeping you on track, Liz does all this extremely well and we very much look forward to working with her again soon!” Stephen Taylor, Director, Heat Design
