✨ SBA Member Spotlight: Liz Jakoi Coaching
Liz helps organizations think differently, lead through change, and create lasting impact.
Her path to entrepreneurship began after receiving a late-in-life ADHD and neurodivergence diagnosis. She realized there was a better way to work, one that aligned with her strengths, energy, and purpose. Today, she helps leaders discover that same kind of clarity.
Before launching her coaching business, Liz spent years helping people move from despair to hope as an employment counsellor. Later, in the corporate world, she noticed a recurring challenge: many organizations had the skills and resources to succeed, but mindset was holding them back.
Although she now serves clients across Durham Region, Scarborough will always be home. After more than 30 years in the community, studying at UTSC, and building deep roots here, joining the Scarborough Business Association was a way to give back.
Whether through coaching, speaking engagements, or Lunch & Learns, Liz is passionate about helping leaders navigate change with confidence and reminding them they don’t have to do it alone.
Welcome to the SBA community, Liz! 💜
