ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Liz Odera.

I am a very experienced practitioner in education, recreation and health, and worked in leadership positions for the last 27 years in various capacities, including as Senior Research Officer in a medical institution, Principal at a high school, a non-profit CEO, Director at an award winning sports academy, Head of Department at a junior college and adjunct university lecturer. I am a speaker, published in international peer reviewed scientific journals, an author and an avid blogger on personal and organizational development issues, especially in non-profits. I will help you develop structure and long and short-term strategic plans, design programs, and frameworks within which staff successfully operate, and provide support towards functioning Boards.

I believe in the power of sports in changing lives, and I am honored to represent many fine individuals and organizations that have influenced their communities positively around the world. I enjoy mentoring and have experience leading individuals and large teams in change-making sports environments in business and non-profits, including high profile soccer, rugby, basketball professional clubs, WTA players, college teams and country clubs.

As your coach and mentor, I value your goals, and will help you seek ways to develop your skills so you can begin to live your dreams.
