What I Do
Personal or professional success doesn’t happen by accident—it’s designed. At Liz Vocasek Coaching & Consulting, LLC, I combine Life Design principles, career strategy, and leadership development to help individuals and organizations move from starting and stuck to strategic and successful.
Using a human-centered design approach, backed by workforce trends, research, and future-of-work principles, I empower individuals and teams to live, work, and learn in ways that amplify their strengths and align with their core values. Through a collaborative partnership, we’ll move beyond quick fixes and superficial solutions to uncover creative, customized, and actionable strategies that deliver sustainable, long-term impact—whether for personal growth, professional development, or organizational transformation.
As a Career and Life Design Coach, I partner with high-momentum individuals and groups to design life, work, and learning experiences that authentically reflect who they are, what they believe, and what matters most.

Job Search & Work-Life Strategy: Develop a tailored, proactive strategy for your search that accounts for a changing landscape. From expanding your network and preparing for interviews to creating future opportunities on the job and cultivating a growth mindset, let’s partner to develop a strategy to find sustainable work that maximizes your success while minimizing frustration.
1.) Exploring Internal & External Influences. I help individuals examine the internal and external narratives, systems, structures, biases, and beliefs that shape the way they think, feel, and act. This process unlocks deeper self-awareness and allows for transformative change.
2.) Envisioning Actionable Roadmaps. Combining industry best practices with practical tools and resources, I guide individuals in creating manageable, actionable, and sustainable roadmaps for their life, work, and learning. Together, we'll craft a clear path toward long-term success.
3.) Broadening Perspectives & Possibilities. I encourage individuals to consider a wide range of possibilities—concrete and abstract, practical and impractical, logical and illogical, traditional and non-traditional. This comprehensive approach helps uncover creative solutions that align with your goals and values.
4.) Promoting Well-Being. Physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being are central to the dreaming, planning, and action process. I ensure that all aspects of your life are considered, creating a holistic approach to growth and success.
5.) Celebrating Wins at Every Step. I emphasize the importance of recognizing and celebrating micro-steps, successes, and failures along the way. Every benchmark, no matter how small, is part of the journey toward something bigger.
6.) Creating a Collaborative, Fun Environment. I use humor, light sarcasm, and, when appropriate, colorful language to create a comfortable, open space where we can get down to business in a focused yet enjoyable way. Together, we’ll find the balance between hard work and the joy of the process.

About Liz Vocasek Coaching & Consulting
After years of understanding the need for standardization, yet feeling restricted by cookie-cutter systems and processes for "the good life," I began to explore ways to make this one-size-fits-all approach work for me in building my own future. Leaning into this mindset allowed me to step away from the prescribed template I was taught to follow and embrace the confidence in doing so. It wasn’t until later in life, when I grew frustrated by others assuming my opportunities just “fell into my lap” or were the result of dumb luck, that I discovered there was a term and philosophy for my approach: career and life design (rooted in human-centered design). Unknowingly, I had been using this problem-solving methodology as a framework to build a life, career, and learning experiences that not only fit within existing systems, but worked for me.
The more I immersed myself in this principle as a guide for living, the clearer it became that my joy came from helping others navigate the intersection of life, work, education, and self. I realized that my restlessness in my career wasn’t due to personal or professional shortcomings, but something larger. As I entered my late thirties, I reflected on the countless times people of all ages asked how I had gotten to where I was and for advice on what to do with their own journeys. After several nudges from others to take my guidance to a more formal level, I decided to take a leap and began offering life, career, and education consulting and coaching.
Fast forward several years of strategic planning and trusting the process, and Liz Vocasek Coaching & Consulting, LLC officially launched in December 2023. Now, I’m on the next leg of my personal and professional journey, and I’m excited to collaborate with you!
