Stop waiting for it.
Start Naming It.
If you're like countless late-career professionals facing burnout and a lack of purpose, it's time to stop scrolling LinkedIn for answers and start looking within. Career satisfaction is an inside job.
I'm Elisabeth Root, a tech leader and entrepreneur who became a trusted advisor to executives at companies like Microsoft, Databricks, NVIDIA, and Google when I began leading with purpose in my own life and work. I coach executives to lean into their differentiated qualities, whether they’re climbing within the corporate world or planning their exit, so they can plan a next chapter that lights them up.
Most tech high achievers operate from a place of constant nervous system activation, and our first step together is sifting through that noise into self-understanding, the kind that helps you manage your energy as your highest value currency and proactively do the things that make your life and work purposeful.
My proven framework is called Catalyst to Clarity. Over 6 or 12 weeks, you'll unpack and reorganize your hard-earned experience into a reflective and prescriptive journey that makes the journey to your encore chapter clear and actionable.
You are not betraying your employer by looking outside your job for purpose, but you are betraying yourself if you don't.

work: n: an opportunity for discovering and shaping; the place where the self meets the world

emerge. root. arrive.
My 6 or 12 week Catalyst to Clarity coaching framework alchemizes your lived experiences into your encore career plan. We funnel your creative energy, earned skills, financial picture and renewed vitality into systems that will power your next act.
emerge:
Your personal catalyst sparks from the friction between your inner voice and the outer world. Many people miss the spark because they’ve been wired to push the inner voice away. Here we allow it to emerge. You take inventory of the lived experiences that make you who you are: the accomplishments, the grief, the unplanned stops. You experiment with new perspectives and ideas. Get your hands dirty. Step out of your zone. Self-witness and make a data-informed plan.
root:
Move from cognitive planning to somatic awareness. Awaken your senses. Hone your ability to see and discern from a place of grounding and stability. Build the practices that will carry you as you build the framework for your next chapter, whether that’s a corporate job with a side gig or taking the leap into your encore career.
arrive:
You’ve come home to yourself. You feel the clarity and you’re ready. Now you’ll set the foundations for financial and business success. You’ll leverage financial modeling tools and proven business development models to financially forecast your exit strategy and create revenue ramps for side gigs. You’ll onboard the resources you need for proactive life design. You’ll build the life systems that replace the corporate benefits. You’ll be supported by a coach who has built businesses on her own and for the fastest growing tech firms in the world.
I’ve coached leaders from top tier companies towards the reset that they’re ready for
If you're looking for an expert consultant to up-level your executive leaders or for yourself, who also operates with incredible empathy and strength of soul, look no further than Elisabeth Root.
She's a unique force in the industry and every time I get the chance to catch up with her, I leave with new energy and knowledge - two things that are really hard to combine.
