Elizabeth Fields, president and co-founder of Jackson Fields Consulting, joined COO Alliance 1.5 years ago and credits it with sharpening her people-management and strategy skills.

My name is Elizabeth Fields, I'm with Jackson Fields Consulting. I've been with the COO alliance for about a year and a half. When I originally joined, I was actually the COO of a Gary Sinise foundation and it was amazing because I was a little hesitant to join it quite frankly because it was a little expensive and Gary Sinise foundation was a nonprofit so I sort of felt guilty to spend the money. But I have to say the journey has been amazing. It made me approach and think of things when it came to managing staff, short term, long term strategy, even. Even things that you forget are so obvious. It was almost life changing professionally and personally. When I actually left Gary Sinise Foundation, I started this consulting firm that the lessons and the strategy and the people that I've met continue. We're at this conference today and it was so eye opening when somebody sat there and told me one little tweak on social media I know will be take my business to a next level. So I can't say enough about this organization. Profit, your own consulting business, a COO and a non profit, no matter what you do, you will definitely benefit from joining this organization again. It's been professionally and personally life changing and I'm so grateful to be a member of the.
