Finding Clarity and Confidence

When I think about our work together, what stands out the most is your extraordinary ability to create a safe space for reflection and growth. Every time we spoke, I felt clearer, more confident, and simply better.

You helped me recognize patterns, personally and professionally, and gave me the awareness and confidence to change them. During a devastating breakup and company crisis, you were my structure—helping my creative brain breathe. You helped me deal with conflict, stand up for myself, and believe in who I am.

You once encouraged me to move forward, even when I didn’t feel ready—and it changed my life. I now take myself more seriously and make decisions from clarity, calm and compassion.

Elena, your gift for seeing people and helping them see the best version of themselves is unmatched. You’ve changed my life in a meaningful way, and I’ll be forever grateful.

Leading with Love and Authenticity

Before we started working together—and even for the first year or two—I felt a constant dissonance between the leader I wanted to be and how people were experiencing my leadership. There was burnout and anxiety on my teams, which was painful given that my research focuses on inclusion and altruistic capital.

Through our work, that has completely transformed. I now lead from a place of joy and genuine connection. Even rejected candidates thank us after interviews because they feel the culture and love within our team. We’re living what we teach: how you do your work and how you treat people is your real impact.

Elena encouraged me to be true to myself and face my shadows with compassion. She helped me unite light and strength—accepting who I am and leading from love. Now, even under stress, I act from connection rather than reaction. This shift has changed everything about my leadership and relationships.

I’m deeply grateful for how our work has allowed me to live and lead from the energy of love. Thank you, Elena.

A Transformational Experience

Elena is spiritually generous, affirming, kind, tremendously creative and positive, and a mastermind at fostering transformation. I'm grateful for how she helped me think beyond the boxes in my mind and expand my sense of possibility.

Now I’m ready to launch the next phase. Our work together has given me a sense that no matter what obstacles my mind may entertain, they can be dissolved by love, attention (sometimes), action, acceptance and staying true to your deepest purpose.

Thank you, Elena! You are awesome.

Trusting My Inner Self

Working with Elena elevated my inner self through a process of authentic self-discovery. The biggest mindset shift was trusting my inner voice and recognizing that the answers lie within me.

By letting go of what no longer served me, I gained clarity and courage to align my life with my values. I now move through life with confidence, remove roadblocks with ease, and embody my values in every decision.

Elena is an outstanding partner—guiding you hand in hand until you realise you can walk your unique path on your own.

Thank you for an amazing journey!

A Space for Growth and Authenticity

Our coaching sessions created a caring, supportive space where I was challenged to dig deeply into who I am and be vulnerable. Each week built on consistent principles that helped me approach life with clarity and balance.

The biggest shift I experienced was uniting my personal and professional selves. This allowed me to live and lead with full authenticity and joy. I now know not only what I want but also what I’m willing to let go of—and that’s liberating.

As a musician, the idea of “more is better” was hard to shake, but Elena helped me find thoughtful focus and alignment. That clarity has been a tremendous gift.

Creating Emotional Connection in Leadership

Elena created a space for my team and me to efficiently reach an emotional depth that encouraged openness and connection. She helped each of us refocus on the kind of leaders we strive to be—and how to get there.

Her tone, intentionality and warmth made our time with her incredibly valuable.

Choosing Flow and Boundaries

The words that come to mind are gratitude, boundaries and flow. The woman I am today is not the same woman who entered coaching with Elena a year ago.

I’ve learned to honour my boundaries, reduce friction and invite flow into my life. Elena taught me that we can choose ease by being unattached to outcomes we can’t control. One note from her still sits on my monitor: “Who will you choose to be about it?”

I’ve gone from being reactive and people-pleasing to someone who pauses, reflects, and responds consciously. This awareness has brought peace and empowerment.

Elena’s empathy and love made me feel supported in a way I never had before. She created a space free of judgement, where I could open up and truly grow. I’m so grateful for this experience and look forward to working together again.
