Profile: Dr. Elizabeth Taylor
A major portion of Dr. Taylor’s life has gone towards building the experiences, knowledge, skills, and capabilities to produce projects that focus on making the foundations for wisdom more readily available to those who need it most - youth, the parents and working poor - those who do not have the time, money or connections to pursue wisdom for its own sake.

Elizabeth was born with a natural gift for translating complex understandings into words that are easily understood by everyone and is neither condescending nor overly simplified. She continued to train and hone this gift in all of the ways available and to use it to help people heal their understandings of themselves, and in relation to society. Her intention is to help our social fabric by giving people tools to do this for themselves.

Dr. Taylor’s level of skill is manifested in Wisdom To Go vignettes, which have been broadcast on radio for more than 2 years, since May 1999.

Born and raised on of the South Side Chicago’s poorest ghettos, Dr. Taylor is familiar with the pressures to sustain and survive and how people sacrifice personal and spiritual growth in this effort. Having lived in a high income county for more than 15 years, she has also become familiar with the struggle of people with privilege, and how that can distract and alienate people from fundamental personal and spiritual growth. A graduate of the University of San Francisco, the Union Institute, and the “school of hard knocks”, Elizabeth seeks to find ways to support those dealing daily with the complexities of modern life - needing accessible, and compatible “tools” to make healthy choices and decisions.

Dr. Taylor is the award winner author of “Straight Up” Teen’s Guide to Taking Charge of Their Life”. Her second book, “Wisdom To Go: Self Improvement Tools for People Who Don’t Have the Time” was released in September 2001. She is an orator, educator and nationally recognized authority on personal and spiritual growth. For 20 years, she has worked extensively with diverse groups, youth, universities, not-for-profits and corporations, both teaching and consulting in leadership, personal power, diversity, conflict management, applied spirituality and lifelong learning. Dr. Taylor has appeared on numerous national radio and TV talk shows, and on syndicated internet educational mediums. She is the Producer of the Wisdom To Go radio program and the Founding President of Wisdom To Go.Com and Wisdom To Go.Org.
