Why leaders join Leadership Circle

“Through our one-on-one coaching, she has helped me grow as a leader and better coach the managers I support.”

Working with Liz Trotter at Core Profit Builders has made such a difference in my growth as a leader. I started in her Managers Circle, and I’m now the Regional Manager overseeing three locations, each with its own manager who also attends her Managers Circle.

What I appreciate most is that Liz doesn’t just give you the answers. She asks thoughtful questions and coaches you to find the answers yourself, helping you build the confidence and skills to lead your team.

Through our one-on-one coaching, she has helped me grow as a leader and better coach the managers I support. With her guidance, we’ve strengthened our leadership team, improved our day-to-day operations, and created more consistency across all three locations. I’m grateful for how she challenges and supports me, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a leader!
