Lizbeth Meredith

I cannot say enough good things about Liz. She assisted with my greatest fear of public speaking by offering pragmatic tools for delivery and content in a way that felt authentic to me. She also coached me through some of my own personal insecurities that frequently act as a roadblock in my personal and professional life. I am grateful for her humor, grace and guidance.

I have the good fortune to know Liz Meredith for many years. I can attest to Liz’s ability to communicate and teach in a way that promotes learning and understanding. Further, her life and work experiences make her exceptionally well-qualified to speak about living through abusive relationships and raising children traumatized because of that relationship. As the author of a well-received and well-written memoir of her experience recovering her children, she knows how to communicate her knowledge gained through this writing. I know of what I write. I first met Liz when she was on staff at Alaska Women’s Aid in Crisis (AWAIC)—a shelter and service center for abused women-- while I served on AWAIC’s Board. Liz’ made outstanindg presentation to the Board reporting on her unit’s activities. She was informative, poised, and handled the Board’s quesions well. From afar I followed the recovery of her children from her ex-husband in Greece. I was impressed by her bravery, commitment, and ingenuity in traversing international borders to bring her children back home. After Liz wtote her book chronicling her trials in recovering her daughters, she went on a book tour. I attended one of her events. She captivated the audience with her presentation. They asked many questions and she Hlndled them informativelky and with grace. The audience remained for a long time afterwards to here more from her. Her experiences as a first-time author would be invaluable to others looking to write and get published. She can help with that.
