About Ma Elizabeth Vazquez

Coaching Expertise: Family Corporations 

She relished the challenges in running a family corporation in the Philippines and enjoyed the learning journey over the last 35 years.  

She started being exposed to entrepreneurial experiences even as a little girl growing up in the work environment of her parents’ home office. Her exposure in this environment was rising from sales clerk, sales manager, marketing manager and now managing director has provided her with a unique perspective and invaluable insights on adapting to strong personalities of siblings and parents. Her experience in being the peacemaker of her siblings as their company grew to be top 1,000 and the experience of squabbles, transitioning family members to spin off and break away from their mother company to spread their wings and grow their businesses are important lessons that taught her what it takes to preserve or transition family members to cut ties and open other related business on their own. She wants to use this valuable lessons to inspire and impact the lives of family members in a family corporate setting to preserve the business and the family relationship but more importantly to grow the family business from generations to generations ensuring succession by intentionally guiding family members in harnessing, investing, stimulating and motivating their natural talents thoughts, feelings or behavior that can be productively applied through her passion in organization development and coaching.  

Through the years she has applied different methodologies to their very own family corporation for strategic planning such as the SWOT analysis method learned from gurus of the University of Asia and the Pacific; Bottom Up methodology learned from wise professors in Osaka, Japan; Generational Succession methodologies from a knowledgeable professor at AIM. All of them well- researched, and had practical well-defined applications.  

Today, she is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach helping people discover what their innate talents are and building their strengths through those talents. Beginning with the end in mind, the joy of family life, she realizes that self-discovery is ever-changing and growing. Strengths is an amazing lens of opportunity and a true catalyst for change for both individuals and teams be it with family, or organizations.
