What Our Clients Say:
Ellen’s coaching had a transformational effect on my career, powerfully disrupting my perception of myself, my role, and my impact. The transformation is apparent inside — it’s like walking around in a new body – and out. My wildest dreams were of doing this, but none of this was possible without Ellen’s insightful coaching and expertise.
Vincent | HR Business Partner
Ellen helped me shift my thinking and coached me on taking charge of my toxic work situation. In less than one year I went from wanting to leave my job out of desperation, to being promoted to a management position that included a 45% raise.
Beth | Emergency Management Consultant
My elevator pitch proved key to helping me introduce myself to people I didn’t know and network more purposefully. I learned that job hunting success has more do with relationship building than submitting my resume to online job ads.
Erin | Training and Development Manager
Through introspective exercises and coaching conversations, I gained the confidence to enter the ‘gig economy’—something I never thought possible before. I can honestly say that I am happier than I’ve been in years—and that means my family is happier too.
Anna | Marketing Communications Business Owner
Ellen helped me decide between two job offers. Her objective perspective and HR expertise helped me weigh key factors that went beyond compensation and benefits. With her help I got the clarity and confidence I needed to take a job that was less traditional, yet offered a new challenge and allowed me to telework. It has proven to be exactly the right choice – I still love my job!
James | Financial Services Manager
Ellen brought me the knowledge and confidence that I needed to get to the level I needed to land my job. Ellen’s strategic interviewing tactics, along with lots of practice, prepared me for my interview — and I got the job! Even better, I was able to negotiate a higher salary.
David | Software Engineer
The workshop content provided a personalized style that allowed participants to have a one-on-one experience even in a group setting. Overall the experience was engaging, informative, and very worthwhile, providing resources and answers to the ‘big questions’ young professionals often struggle to pinpoint and answer.
Paulina | Talent Acquistion, Non-Profit Organization
Ellen’s coaching gave me confidence to re-enter the workforce. I learned how to market the skills I developed as a stay-at-home parent for many years, and I feel like I finally know my worth – a game changer in getting back out there.
Audrey | Social Worker and Mom of Three

Informational interviews are a key tactic to a successful job search and career transition. They:
- Provide a wealth of information about what it is like to work for a potential employer.
- Are direct paths to the hidden job market.
- Help us expand our networks and improve our networking skills.
How we conduct the informational interview—from the questions we ask, to how actively we listen, to the action we take as a result—is important for making the most of this opportunity.
Whether you know it or not, YOU are a brand, and your brand is out there. It is found in what you have written and shared about yourself, from your resume, to your LinkedIn profile, to what you post on your social media platforms.
Learning how to build and communicate your brand allows you to drive your career with greater confidence and enjoy greater professional and personal success.
If you are having trouble shaping your brand and getting clear on how others are receiving it, asking people for help is a great way to start.
If you have ever thought “I would love to make a big career move!” you are not alone. What often comes next, however, is: “I could never do it, though.”
But….what if you did?
Taking a big career leap (BCL) is not the same thing as other professional goals such as aiming to meet your annual performance metrics, or challenging yourself to go to more networking events, or, give more regular feedback to your team members.
Taking a big leap is life changing. It can be daunting. You might not know where to start. You might be unsure if you have the resources. It might not be the right time in your life.
But with exploring and moving it forward bit by bit – it just MIGHT be possible.
