Executive Support

Liz Van Vliet has always been passionate about people. She loves discovering who they are, knowing what makes them tick, and seeing their unique skills and gifts. Offering care and understanding is in her nature, and so is educating, process thinking, and cheering others on. Harnessing and channelling these superpowers to create her own ‘career by design’, Liz now works with people in professional support roles to deliver the confidence, consistency and career development that transforms them into thriving “Linchpin Assistants”. As one of Australia’s most trusted professional support strategists, Liz has worked with hundreds of Executive Assistants, Business Support and Admin Professionals over the last six years. With her E.F.F.E.C.T.I.V.E. Methodology®, they have shifted from underconfidence and overwhelm to empowered, strategic and effective Linchpin Assistants powering their organisations and thriving in their careers and life. As Founder and Director of The Linchpin Assistant and a certified executive coach and trainer, Liz partners with organisations, L&D professionals and executives to drive business efficiency, effectiveness, and engagement through her Linchpin Assist Model®, Assistant Competency Model® and the Ten Power Skills for Linchpin Assistants® training modules. As a global keynote speaker and EmCee, Liz ignites, informs and inspires audiences by guiding events, sharing insights, and creating opportunities to activate thinking and elevate innovation in work, life and community.
