She possess expertise in media relations, corporate communications, public relations, speech writing, strategic communications and 42 more skills. She is proficient in German. Colleagues describe her as "I’ve had the privilege of knowing Liza-Jayne professionally for more than 20 years as a peer, business confidant and devil’s advocate on ambiguous business problems. Although Liza-Jayne is highly regarded by clients for her analytical mindset and providing superior counsel, I most admire her entrepreneurial skills. In particular, I applaud her success in co-creating (with business partner) a leading boutique corporate communications agency, Republic Consulting. Liza-Jayne is down to earth, focused and considered. She also demonstrates great humanity – a quality often overlooked in today’s business leaders – and a delicious wit. I last called on Liza-Jayne’s telco expertise in 2003, hence the placement of this recommendation in her timeline. She provided a background briefing to me/my team that assisted us in securing quality media coverage for the Australian arm of a global telco services business. The world of communications and strategic counsel needs more Liza-Jayne’s." and "When you are trying to discover your organisational image, profile and message, when you want to get that message out there, or if you just need to re-imagine your organisational philosophy and direction, make LJ and Republic the centre of your PR Universe!"
