How often do we stay in jobs, or relationships, or stay with a business just because nothing is wrong? It can be hard to walk away without a reason, especially when things look good on paper.
Join Lizi Guest at this month's Women and Business as she shares her story about doing things differently.
After beginning her adult life as a single Mum on the benefit, Lizi started a PR agency at 27, only three years after she graduated. With no safety net, no assets, no business experience, and sole responsibility of providing for her daughter, Lizi built the business from the ground up.
Within five years, Little & Loud became one of New Zealand's top PR agencies, operating in a niche in regional New Zealand, donating over $150,000 of pro bono services and developing an award-winning team
Behind the scenes, Lizi was growing her family, building the stability and financial security that she’d dreamed of.
Then 2024 arrived, and it arrived on two fronts at once. Professionally, generative AI began reshaping her industry in ways that couldn't be ignored. Personally, her eldest daughter was suddenly diagnosed with a life-changing neurological condition that turned her world upside down.
Knowing the only way out was through, Lizi leaned in. She's now one of New Zealand's most sought-after voices on AI literacy, and has evolved Little & Loud to operate successfully without her involvement, recently listing the business for sale.
Lizi will share her plans for what comes next and the lessons she’s learned about following your gut, even when it doesn’t make sense to others.
If any of this sounds familiar, then this talk is for you. Lizi first spoke at Women & Business in 2023. That chapter was surprising and honest, this story is a whole new book.
