I’ve invited over 63 different lecturers, faculty, and facilitators, to work with our Navy Seals and Special Operation Forces. We received some of the highest and most positive survey responses from Elise’s course in our history. Her facilitation expertise and methods are superior and very hard to come by. She is extraordinary, even among the most extraordinary!

Elise led us through the Core Strengths training. The biggest value was learning about the difference between how people are motivated. She did an amazing job providing us with practical guidance so that we can better collaborate as a team. I highly recommend investing in this training for your teams!

Every leader wants more influence, deeper connection with clients and teams, but aren’t aware of personal blindspots. There is an art to doing business and relationships in excellence. As a result of applying Elise’s content I have secured and retained bigger clients and gone deeper in relationships in work and family. The course provided greater clarity and understanding how I was leading and where I could grow. This will be one of the greatest investments in yourself as a leader.

Elise knows her material and very effectively facilitates a memorable education experience for our cohorts.  She is flexible and adaptive, customizing the program on the fly to meet the participants where they are.  The assessments and communication tools she uses are very effective.  I have recommended Elise to many colleagues over the years, and all have communicated the same positive experiences as we have had at KPFF.

I have found coaching with Elise to be very valuable. It has been helpful to get perspective and advice from a professional that is familiar with our organization and my position, but does not have the history or attachments. Elise has helped me to build a culture at our LA office that invests in the development of its leaders at every level. Her team of coaches has proven invaluable to helping our Executive and Associate level leaders get results while keeping their teams healthy and productive.

Our firm is filled with dynamic sales-minded people and communication is crucial both inside and outside the organization. Our experience with Elise was unparalleled and made an immediate impact. Instead of butting heads, Elise helped our team understand that many of us had different methods to reach the same goals. The “ah-ha” of her trainings was tremendous and the impact to the organization instantaneous. It is why we continue to work with her and her team to  incorporate the learnings into our organization.

I would like to specifically thank Elise for her energy, enthusiasm, and passion for what she does!  It was so refreshing and brilliant. She is so masterful in emotional intelligence and her courses and coaching exceeded my expectations!  I can say without reservation that I highly recommend her programs to individuals and HR directors who want to grow their leaders and teams. I look forward to many more opportunities to work with Elise.

Elise has not only helped me work through strategic goals we set out but has revealed aspects of growth along the way that I wasn't aware of. She attunes her expertise to focus directly on me as a person- my strengths and growth potential. I have the utmost confidence that working with her will make me a more authentic, discerning and impactful leader.

Coaching with Elise has been amazing for me. She's got me enjoying the work again. She was a great fit for me, very disarming and encouraging. Going through the Leadership 360 process was a game changer for me. She helped me translate the feedback I received into actionable steps. The progress we made over 6 months helped me to increase my influence with both my team and throughout the organization.
