"From my tenure in the banking industry and as Past President of ATB Financial, I have known Liz Tweddle for 25 years and I’m pleased to write this endorsement on her behalf. I first met Liz when I was the Executive Vice-President of Sales for ATB Financial and further invited her to be my personal Executive Assistant when I became President. In my professional career, I have seldom observed and experienced a person with the motivation, energy and intellectual capacity of Liz Tweddle. She demonstrated an exceptionally high level of initiative, commitment, reliability, and competence, with me, the Executive of ATB and with her colleagues. 

Liz’s sense of humour, creativity and enthusiasm combined with her research, analytical skills and business acumen make her a top-tier candidate for any kind of engagement about leadership . For example, she to voluntarily created an Executive Assistant Group designed to assist each other in their roles, streamlining administrative processes and furthering their knowledge and education. Liz mentors through action and leads extremely well. She was a diligent worker and committed to the growth and enhancement of the entire organization. Liz is an exceptional communicator, facilitator and connector of people, representing the President and Executive Office(r/s) both within and outside the financial institution. Her level of professionalism is outstanding, and she has garnered a great deal of respect from everyone around her."

"Liz has been an extraordinary volunteer in the performing arts, health, marketing, PGA & golfing communities from Member to Chair of the Board. She still volunteers and maintains active roles varying from Committee Chair to Emcee, Moderator and Speaker at community events."

"There is no doubt in my mind that Liz’s rise from an early age from sports champion in 3 different sports to Pan American Gold Medalist, Canadian Flag Bearer and 3x Olympic esteem, demonstrates her ability to capture, relate and impart to her audience the lessons learned through the trials and tribulations experienced along her journey in pursuit of excellence to the ultimate the outcome of success. She exudes passion, empathy, resilience that is clearly integral to great leadership. Whatever topic she will wow you with her winning energy and ability to connect with any audience.

In light of the comments above, it is with great enthusiasm that I formally recommend Liz Tweddle for your next Keynote Speaker requirement. Engagement with a woman of this caliber for any speaking position is profoundly justified. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in all Liz Tweddle does."

- Robert J. Normand, Past President ATB Financial

"Meet Liz! I can’t even describe the time I had with this amazing woman. The stories she told me of her time as an Olympic competitive div er blew my mind. She’s lived 5 lifetimes compared to the one I’m striving to get through. Standing in her “I love me room” as she called it, was filled with overwhelming history, and I was more than willing to know about it. Liz wanted headshots for her speaking engagements and her website, and I hope I did them to her Gold medal standard. Thank you so much Liz for the opportunity to get to know you!
