“For an entrepreneur looking to make an idea a reality, Liz is the necessary glue that holds everything together while it forms. From the dream stage to complete fruition, she provides support at each level, moving the idea along while carefully integrating the client’s personal goals and aspirations. She has a unique understanding of how the personal and business worlds are related. I’ve always felt that my well-being has been Liz’s top priority in all of our discussions of my life and business ventures. Whether we are doubling down on a good idea or abandoning a bad one, Liz helps me move forward to uncover the next step in my journey. She is the antidote to stagnation in personal and business ventures.”

“As a new CEO, I worked with the BlodgettSmith Group to help prioritize my efforts for maximized impact. Liz provided me with strategies to resolve challenging staff issues, potentially overwhelming operational tasks, and financial situations that could have shifted the momentum of the organization. Two years later, thanks to the strong foundation built with the support of BlodgettSmith, we have weathered a pandemic and now patiently await the opening of our new $31 million YMCA! Without a doubt, Liz has proven herself to be a highly intelligent, honest, solutions driven and respectful partner for me as I navigate my leadership role.”

“Liz Blodgett-Smith brings many things to the table. When approaching difficult situations, her warmth and profound integrity inspire confidence and trust; when examining complex problems, she offers thoughtful analyses and unexpected insights; and when decisions have been made, her follow-up is comprehensively thorough and action oriented. I experienced this personally during our two years pursuing Penguin Hall Senior Living where she was our prime organizer, our marketing director, our client champion and our organizational soul. Above and through it all, Liz Blodgett-Smith applies common sense to uncommon problems — Socratic thinking, Platonic debate, Aristotelian logic and Alexandrian determination, all behind a beautiful smile.”

“Working with Liz has made a challenging process rewarding. She is a strategic thinker, a great listener, and an accountable, trustworthy coach. Her process meets you where you are. With patient and persistent guidance, she teases out our best ideas while keeping us on track to meet goals, objectives, and timelines. She brings people together for the benefit of the organization and I have truly loved working with her.”

“Across multiple mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures at BNY Mellon, BlodgettSmith conducted due diligence and analysis of a number of aspects for us to determine optimum outcomes. Liz knows how to ask the right questions, dissect the issues, come up with the action plan, and execute it, all while collaborating freely and actively with the rest of the team.”

“BlodgettSmith took our idea for a recyclable fashion brand from an idea, to a nimble strategy, all the way to a sustainable business. Liz helped us solve any and all problems that arose along the way. To this day, she is my go-to person whenever I have a business question, need advice, or a more-experienced viewpoint. She’s a mentor, advisor and collaborator all wrapped up in one.”

“By improving both our strategy, fundraising, board governance and marketing plans, Liz has been instrumental in getting Generations Incorporated to where we are today. She wore many hats and helped take on roles needed to be filled. In the best, most collegial way possible, she guided us and pushed us hard, and the results show.”

““Liz helped us crystallize, create, and effectively communicate our vision for moving forward, and advised us on how to be more methodical in our process. She worked with us to develop a strategic five-year plan and capital campaign, getting into the weeds alongside us to initiate and execute all messaging and marketing. Liz always has her eye on the end-goal, but she also clearly sees the stepping stones of how to get where you want to be.””

“As we were growing the idea for our business, Liz helped us ask all the right questions (and recognize the right answers). She provided mentorship as we laid the building blocks for the business, placing a structure around everything we needed to do to launch our company and validate our mission and vision.”
