Enjoy an encore as author, facilitator, speaker, podcaster and survivor Eliza VanCort shares her journey.
After enduring traumatic kidnappings as a child and then surviving a life-altering bicycle accident as an adult, Eliza VanCort has become a renowned empowerment advocate. Her work sits at the intersection of political science and the performing arts. This informs VanCort’s innovative approach to communication not only with ourselves, which can be challenging as it is, but across differences as well. She is the author of A Woman's Guide to Claiming Space: Stand Tall. Raise Your Voice. Be Heard.
In her popular presentations and workshops, VanCort uses her academic expertise and over twenty years as an acting instructor to guide her audience using practical tools and tips for transforming their lives. She is a Cook House Fellow at Cornell University and a Govern for America League of Innovators. VanCort is also the co-founder of Think Twice Labs, which takes a fresh approach to building emotional intelligence and improving communication across differences.
