"My coaching objective with Elaine was to become more visible and valued leader within the executive management in the organization. Through Elaine’s coaching techniques, she challenged me to critically examine my self-awareness and perceptions of the organizational leaders. She created a comfortable environment that I could openly express my thoughts candidly in which we were able to create meaningful and actionable assignments."

"When I entered into my coaching sessions with Elaine, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I have done coaching sessions in the past and always found them to feel forced and at times a bit uncomfortable. I was extremely pleased with the coaching sessions with Elaine. She made the entire process easy and comfortable and really allowed me to dig deep into what my personal career motivators are and helped me clearly identify goals that aligned with my personal objectives. Elaine helped me to understand that performance in any organization is dependent upon the right direction, focus and motivation. She worked with me to clearly define my personal motivation and helped me align them to my current skill set and areas of focus. The entire process felt supportive, non-judgmental and really motivated me to dig deep into what I personally wanted to achieve within my functional responsibilities and beyond. The tools she provided me have allowed me to become a better leader for my own team and have allowed me to take a step back and reflect on what makes people “tick” and how you I can leverage those personal motivators to help achieve career and company objectives."

"As a coach, Elaine was engaging and truly committed to understanding my challenges in my particular role within the company. As well as providing insight into different styles, the tools offered also seemed tailored to me and although some are obviously generic management tools, it was great to be able to identify those that benefitted me as I felt she could truly see what I needed. The guidance I received is relevant every day and I honestly don’t think a day goes by where I don’t think back on some level to something she said and apply it as I try to improve as a manager. "
