“We have collaborated with Elizabeth for two offsite annual team retreats, each three-days long, involving outdoor activities and wildlife, group dialogue and workshops, and one-on-one staff assessments. She is a thought partner and creative curator from conception to execution of intensive, results-oriented retreats. Well-positioned to support systems transformation, her expertise and approach are an alchemy of compassion, purpose, empathy, and pragmatism. Her unique ability to build trust and connection with every member of our team has empowered colleagues to tackle courageous conversations, deepened the commitment to our shared endeavors, and challenged leadership to embody their most authentic selves to cultivate deeper connections with others. Whether your organization or company is young and still ramping up, or seasoned and at an inflection point --- Elizabeth will help you navigate and reach your desired destination.” -C.M.L.

Elizabeth is a masterful facilitator, coach, and role model.  I partnered with Elizabeth to transform a multi-day in-person leadership development program into a virtual format.  Her depth of experience and design expertise were key to the success of this virtual program.  The participants started out as strangers and walked away as inspired leaders and friends.  Before this, I didn't know that it was possible to foster such deep connections and so quickly in a virtual setting.  Elizabeth's authenticity, presence, and kindness created a safe space for the leaders to open up, to be curious and vulnerable.  I've learned so much from Elizabeth and am grateful for her coaching and wisdom. -Y.K.

Elizabeth was extremely helpful both to myself and my team as we focused on experiencing new ways of working together.  Elizabeth's insightful combination of thinking and feeling really helped to apply concrete tools (fear markets, guided coaching sessions, empathy maps, etc.) to improve our ability to work as a team.  Her insight enabled her to help us see where our potential gaps might be and expose areas where we needed to dig deeper into our one-on-one relationships and as a team.  She brought all of this to us with warmth, humor, and humility.  I truly appreciated Elizabeth's contributions to our team and will be forever grateful. -M.R. 

When I began ‘The Journey’ I felt I had lost myself. Throughout ‘The Journey’ I delved deep to discover what was holding me back and with the warm network of support from Elizabeth and my cultivated community of fellow travelers, I feel transformed to walk in the light instead of being afraid in the dark. I’m very grateful for this experience. You have an amazing gift Elizabeth and it was wonderful to experience it. -A.M. 

The program had more of an impact on my personal life than work life. This program has taught me to always continue to find myself. As I have grown and challenged myself these past 4 months, you have given me the tools to help me grow. Through learning how to have difficult conversations, visioning my future, and understanding as human beings we want to be challenged, all of that and more has helped me grow to communicate better with myself and others. I'm very appreciative of the time we spent together and the community you built to remind us to all slow down and take the journey day by day. -N.P. 

The Journey program provided me with a powerful, intentional space to declutter my mind, center my body and allow for free and purposeful imagining of what could be, and how I could focus my own journey on getting there. Like many, I don't consider myself 'creative' and it was amazing to feel and see what flowed out when I paused the self talk and simply created! -A.K.

"The Journey" is a perfect name for this process of transformation.  Elizabeth Durney is the shepherd for this journey and has a keen way of pulling at your threads along the way.  A clever listener with a kind and well trained soul, Elizabeth made the process of clearing away blockages, discovering purpose, and developing a practice simple and accessible.  The experience at Asombrosa was inspiring and the touch points between retreats, one-on-one coaching with Elizabeth, and connections made with other participants formed a strong alliance for progress.  From the awe inspiring views and nature retreat that is Asombrosa down to the incredible food and supportive staff I can't say enough about what Elizabeth has created with The Journey.  If anyone needs a catalyst for their transformation, The Journey is that spark and Elizabeth is that firebrand. -T.T.
