You want to make a difference in the world.
I want to make a difference in yours.
After 20 years as a finance professor at the University of Wisconsin—including a stint as senior associate dean—I felt called to something more. I was convinced I could have a significant positive impact on higher education, and I realized that, paradoxically, leaving academia was the best way for me to do it.
So I gave up my tenured position and trained as a leadership and positive psychology coach and consultant. I now have the privilege of accompanying clients as they create the impactful careers and lives they imagine.
I hope you'll join my quest to shift the academic culture one person at a time.

“Read and reflect on Well on Your Way, and you will find in its words the encouragement both to do and to be your best.”
—George Justice, author of How to Be a Dean, and former provost, University of Tulsa
“Elizabeth Odders-White reminds us that we are more important than the job, and our first and most essential task is to nurture ourselves, celebrate our strengths, and set limits on the time and emotional energy we give to our work. She shows us how to engage in a continual process of self-reflection to remind ourselves that we belong, our contributions matter, and we can create a space in academia to be our true selves.”
—Kristen Slack, founder of Prof2Prof, and professor emerita, University of Wisconsin–Madison
