Ellen adeptly assembled a small group of like-minded women across multiple cultures and countries. Her coaching created an atmosphere of introspection and growth, which was further supported by sharing and coaching done in small groups with peers.

Ellen's program, Align with your purpose, created space in my week to reflect thoughtfully, actively process where I am on my journey, and connect with / learn from other amazing women (including Ellen!). Ellen's guidance was encouraging, validating, and thought-provoking, and I learned so much from the reading, activity prompts, and peer coaching conversations with other group members. I didn't know I needed this information / guidance as much as I did, as I entered into the program unsure if I could commit the time. I'm so incredibly glad I did, and grew so much from the experience. I truly hope to take Ellen's / the group's teachings forward and continue to grow!

I never thought I would be one for group coaching but being part of Ellen's Group Coaching sessions has definitely changed my mind. Learning how to harness my catabolic and anabolic energies as well as aligning my actions to my core values were perhaps the most impactful takeaways from the sessions. I would definitely recommend the group coaching sessions to any young woman aspiring to be a prolific leader.

Before starting the coaching with Ellen I felt lost and wasn’t feeling happy with my job situation. I was questioning my choices, although I couldn’t define what exactly I didn’t feel good about and I couldn’t tell what I would like to do differently. Before going into the coaching with Ellen I felt pressure from myself to figure my issue out without knowing how to. With Ellen, we broke this issue down into bits and pieces and in each session, I have discovered and learned new things about myself that has helped me move in the right direction to understand my true inner passions and what I want to get out of my life. It feels like the issues I was aware of and wanted to discuss before each session just were the tip of an iceberg, as I left many sessions with a sense of ‘wow’-feeling of realizations about myself.

Ellen is a very competent coach with who I immediately felt comfortable sharing my inner thoughts and personal issues. The coaching with Ellen has given me new perspectives on my life and better understandings of my choices. It has been a pleasure to be coached by Ellen and I can recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional coaching.

Ellen came to my life in one of the most difficult times I ever went through. From the beginning, it was so easy to connect with her. We both share our past, traveling the world and working in international development, so I felt she totally understood my struggles. She helped me organize my thoughts, she guided me so I could listen to my inner-self. She has been the best companion in the process of revisiting who I am and what do I want. She has driven every session with ease, always asking the right questions, listening, and making me feel more empowered every time. Ellen is a gifted professional and an exceptional coach.

“Having someone to talk through issues with, together with the tools and structure Ellen provided, gave me direction during a sabbatical when I wanted to reflect more deeply on my life.

“Ellen held a very safe place for me to open up with both personal and professional challenges. She was an incredible listener and guided me to understand why I wanted to change in certain areas, and also helped uncover what was blocking me from moving forward. She inspired me to believe I have a choice to fulfill my dreams and empowered me to know I had what it took to attain the goals I desired. Wherever you are in your journey of life, and no matter what challenges you are facing, I highly recommend Ellen as a coach.”

"I had never considered having a life coach before, but often found myself struggling with how to address complex work situations and career growth. Now, after 1 year of coaching sessions with Ellen, I find myself more confident and self-aware in the workplace, with a better understanding of how to channel my 'go-getter' attitude to reach my career goals."

“
The biggest gift from Ellen was helping me improve my self-awareness. I realised that I had many unrealistic expectations of myself and I wasn't acknowledging many of the things that were going well. Ellen helped me gain new positive perspectives on some of the issues I was dealing with. I loved the fact that she had many different tools which helped me re-frame my perspective and change some of my habits. I still use some of them! Overall, it was a positive, impactful, and fun experience that helped me be kinder to myself. I highly recommend her!”
