"My development plan with Ellen was well thought out, customized for me, and I started seeing results in my management and my business after the very first session. By the end of my program, I responded to situations differently, I prioritized differently, I delegated and communicated more effectively, and my subordinates felt more empowered and connected to our business."

"Ellen has an aptitude for integrating “whole person” concepts into her work with a client that sets her apart as a coach. She does not solve problems for her client. Rather she equips her client with a highly relevant blend of intellectual, social, emotional, and physical based tools and techniques and works with the individual to apply them in practical ways to solve real life challenges. My work with Ellen has transformed me as an individual and as a professional."

Carole Sumption

“I had the privilege of having Ellen as my coach for a year while I participated in our company’s Leadership Development Program. Ellen’s experience as an executive for several large companies lends itself to highly effective coaching. She has been there and seen it first hand and knows how to coach someone to be their best self at home and at work. She is an excellent listener an outstanding coach. It is easy to see why she carried the leadership roles she held previously.”

Mike Baska

"Ellen’s unique background and coaching style helped me see things through a different lens. Her questions and insights have helped me become more in touch with myself, and my priorities. I communicate more effectively with my stakeholders and set healthy boundaries with my time. Additionally, the Enneagram assessment at the launch of our program provided excellent insights. The PersonPuzzle was helpful because it created a tool for future self-reflection and a way to remind me of the learning and insights throughout the process."

Kristen Kenton

"The coaching that I received from Ellen this year supported me in digging deep into who I am, not only as a leader, but as a person. She helped me increase my own self-awareness and developed a strategic plan that increased my impact in leading others at my school."
