“The coaching sessions with Ellen have been the most useful I've had since starting my business over six years ago. Three months of coaching with Ellen has been extremely helpful to me in almost every way. Whilst I had a clear set of narrowly defined outcomes I wanted from coaching (which I feel I have achieved) I got much more from the sessions than just those narrow goals. I cannot recommend working with Ellen highly enough, the work we've done together has been transformational and I'm extremely grateful to her. I believe coaching is not just about the coach but about the relationship and so if you're prepared to be honest with her and put your needs and goals into her hands I think you'll find they are a pretty safe pair of hands.”

Dan Sofer
CEO and Founder @ Coding School

“Six months of coaching with Ellen has been game changing. I had been in a challenging situation with my previous startup and Ellen really helped me gain clarity as to both how I had ended up there and identify a meaningful way that I could continue continue. The clarity has made the biggest difference — getting clear on my own mission and values and to then build something around my strengths. Ellen is able to pick up a lot from you and things you don't necessarily see, allowing you to dig deep enough so that you get to that clarity. I have truly gained confidence, determination, strength and really take my business seriously. I'd recommend investing in coaching if you're an entrepreneur, you're just starting a business, or you're going through a career change.”

Riikka Olli
CEO @ Fashiontech startup

“After looking for a coach for months I came across Ellen through the YSYS (community for diversity and inclusion in tech) and knew from our first call she'd be a great coach. It's been the best use of my professional development budget I could have thought of and I've seen a huge transformation. I've become much more confident in my professional story and understanding what I uniquely contribute, which has allowed me to convey myself more naturally and authentically. Ellen provided some great activities as a supplement to the 3 months of coaching. The biggest take away has been stepping out of my comfort zone and finding ways to put myself out there — only positive things have come out of it. It's a lesson I'm taking into my personal and professional life — celebrating myself more, taking myself less seriously, becoming my best ambassador.”

Loyce Witherspoon
Community Manager @ Social Impact Tech

“As an early stage tech startup founder I sought coaching to work on my time-management, leadership and confidence. Through the sessions Ellen has helped me to manage the roller-coaster of emotions of entrepreneurship. I’ve learnt to appreciate my strengths and put less negative pressure on myself. I feel I have more space to breathe and have set clear goals truly aligned with my long-term vision and mission. This has been huge for me and my business…! Ellen has a unique ability to really see me - identify my strengths, thought patterns and self-limiting beliefs. She is straight to the point, honest, clear and very organized. I've loved working with her and it's been awesome to have someone caring who knows my goals, has my back and pushes me to be my best self. She has a badass really self-assured energy which inspires me to step up as a leader.”

Founder @ Tech Startup Platform

“I got coaching to overcome the self doubt holding me back from my full potential in my leadership role. Ellen really helped me identify my key strengths and gain so much more confidence and self-belief. I've achieved the professional goals that I set and it’s had a net positive impact on my personal life overall. Getting to know myself better has given me more confidence in decision making and a deeper understanding of myself. I really enjoyed working with Ellen — she asks the right questions and her style is structured, empowering and challenging.”
