A bit about me…
I'm Liz Ward, the Founder of Slick Pivot, and I’m passionate about helping you navigate change and unlock your potential. As a former MD and Global Head of Digital for renowned brands and tech startups, I bring real-world leadership experience to my coaching practice.
Certified by the Association of Coaching and as a Positive Intelligence coach, I combine my marketing expertise with NLP techniques to offer a unique approach. My superpower? I will help you see your next move when things feel muddled and be on your team while you make it happen.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in neuroscience and focuses on uncovering your "human truth." I'll help you to manage emotions effectively, make bold decisions, and lead yourself and others more authentically. Together, we'll use thought-provoking exercises and practical strategies to overcome your internal saboteurs, feel more confident and reduce overwhelm.
Whether you're a business owner, leader, new parent or part of a team seeking growth, I provide the tools and support to help you navigate work and life successfully. My goal is simple: to help you create more impact with less stress.
Ready to take a practical, positive pivot towards your happiness and growth? Let's talk.
What do people say about working with Liz?
"Liz somehow helps you draw the answers out of yourself, helps you unscramble your thoughts, and identify the next move. It’s amazing what can happen when you get past simply thinking about things and actually start doing them!!”"

Mark Bixter. Executive and Life Coach
Specialisms
Mental Wellbeing, Confidence, Professional Relationships, Career, Finding Clarity, Understanding Self
A bit about me….
I’m an Accredited Professional Executive Coach with the Association for Coaching (AC) with over 2300 hours of coaching experience. I began coaching following a career first as an Actor and Theatre Producer, and then in senior leadership within the charity sector working as a Managing Director, Head of Operations and General Manager. I have worked across the corporate, public and charity sector coaching over 700 people at
all levels of their career including CEOs, senior executives, managers, and early career starters.
In addition, I work with prisoners, refugees, and young women furthest from power. I have supported people through career transitions, return to work challenges, confidence and to find their place in the world personally and professionally.
I love working in a holistic, reflective way, focusing not just on surface presenting challenges, but helping you understand what is causing them and supporting you to move towards change. I have been described as warm, understanding, encouraging, challenging, person focused, adaptable, fun and creative. I see my role as being greater than an accountability partner who “checks in”, but as someone who joins you on your journey to find rewarding solutions.
What do people say about working with Mark?
"I gained so much from Mark’s coaching that it feels selfish not to share it. I’m a more present mother and a more compassionate wife; I’m finding a deep honesty and focus. It’s not just my lifestyle and mental wellbeing that benefitted, I have also gained clarity and momentum in my career. Mark’s coaching changed my life and I didn’t even know it needed changing! It was fun, so enjoyable and ridiculously productive."
Meg Bishton, NLP and Transformation Coach

Executive Coaching, Leadership, Career Progression, Mindset Transformation, Career Transition, Work-life Balance, Divorce,
A Bit About Me:
I’m Meg, a passionate coach dedicated to empowering professionals to build fulfilling careers and purposeful lives. With nearly 20 years in corporate finance and a deep understanding of leadership dynamics, I’ve combined my professional experience with certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), coaching, and mindfulness practices to guide individuals through transformative journeys.
As a single mother who balanced raising a child while working full-time and climbing the corporate ladder, I understand firsthand the challenges of managing career growth and personal responsibilities. My work is rooted in the belief that mindset shapes success—by reprogramming limiting beliefs and reigniting inner potential, I help clients navigate significant career transitions, whether stepping into leadership roles or reintegrating into the workforce. Having personally navigated corporate growth, life transitions, and major career shifts, I bring a unique blend of resilience, empathy, and strategic insight to my coaching.
I specialise in working with professionals during times of change, helping them develop strategies for long-term success while fostering a mindset of empowerment and growth. My coaching approach is holistic, addressing both personal and professional goals to help my clients achieve clarity, confidence, and meaningful progress.
What do people say about working with Meg?
"Working with Meg has been truly remarkable. I overcame procrastination and shyness, thanks to her coaching and the way she propels me into action and forward motion. Embracing major life transitions became easier with her support as I built my confidence, skills, and emotional management. I always eagerly anticipate each session."
