What Clients Are Saying

Janet Roberts
Ellen has been the impetus I needed to get my second career launched. She was able to take my abstract goals and objectives and create a solid plan of action. Ellen is an exceptional listener and was able to glean the critical pieces needed to structure a plan that was achievable in a short amount of time. She was also adept at keeping me accountable and helping me pivot to address changes in my situation. I would highly-recommend Ellen for those seeking an expert career coach.
Carla Clements, LMFT
Working with Ellen was very rewarding for me. I had been stuck on a project and she not only guided me to a comprehensive and coherent action plan, but she helped me discover my unconscious beliefs and assumptions that had previously discouraged me whenever I tried to get started. That has made all the difference.

Working with Ellen has been incredibly helpful; she’s patient, attentive, and extremely present. Her questions are kind, though direct enough so that they offer you an opportunity to reflect on what your true motivation is, or isn’t. She has some invaluable perspective given her exceptional life and career, and she has an uncanny ability to offer unexpected insight to what you say, or rather things you think you’ve said. Ellen’s capacity to help guide you to cut through the noise so that you can see straight through to the heart of the matter is invaluable in moving forward and transitioning successfully from one chapter to the next.

I sought Ellen’s counsel and assistance at the beginning of the pandemic, when the future of my 30 year old architectural practice was in limbo. Working with Ellen, we were able to turn a potential crisis into a creative opportunity for a complete re-envisioning of the practice. She began by encouraging me to question deeply what I wanted to accomplish in my life moving forward. Together we looked at the times in my professional and personal life when I had been the most fulfilled and creatively productive, then we envisioned how I might recreate a time of fulfillment in this new post-pandemic environment. We looked at every area of the practice and laid out a plan for improvements that would take us into a new future. Ellen then guided me through the process from imagining to implementation, with the result that I get up every morning excited about the day, rejuvenated and looking forward to a bright future. Ellen’s rich background as a professional artist, project manager and marketer all came to bear in creatively helping me to identify my own obstacles and get greater clarity. I am grateful for her contribution to improving my life and my practice.
