Hi, I’m Elizabeth
I’m a leadership expert, activist, lawyer, thought-leader, coach, author and an advocate for folks who want to use their voices for change. I created the Atelier in 2021 as a place where leaders and progressive change-agents could meet in safe space to learn, grow, organize and seek support.
Today, we’re a global community of over 600 gender-diverse thought leaders, activists and organizers of all ages, backgrounds and identities.
I hope you’ll join our brilliant community that is blazing a trail toward a better future.
– Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, Founder of The Atelier
