Port Liz Coaching provides a place to pause, catch your breath, find your bearings, and chart what comes next with someone who knows these waters.

This coaching practice was built for the moments that require both courage and clarity to break through to your next level of leadership. The moments where having a safe harbor makes all the difference between drifting and reaching your destination.

About Port Liz

Port Liz Coaching is named for Port Elizabeth in Bequia, the place where founder Sienna Abdulahad's maternal great great grandmother began her crossing to America; and for Elizabeth, New Jersey, where her maternal great grandmother arrived from the low country of South Carolina and built a life and legacy.
