Elaine brings 15 years of corporate HR experience in global talent acquisition, leadership development and university programs to her coaching practice. During the first decade of her career, she worked with leading companies within the tech, non-profit and financial services industries, to execute high growth talent acquisition plans, implement transformational workforce strategies, and optimize performance outcomes. This experience instilled a deep passion for developing empowered leaders, so in 2014, Elaine made the leap to professional coaching. She quickly established a robust career transition and professional development practice and, shortly after, focused on embedding sustainable and whole-self change into her practice through strengths-based, life-design (DYL), and purpose-driven coaching methods. For the last 8 years Elaine has coached thousands of busy professionals, 1:1 and while delivering workshops and teambuilding to organizations throughout the west coast. While each engagement brings immense satisfaction, Elaine especially enjoys working with clients during times of life transition(s) and exploring its intersection with their career journey. Elaine is a Gallup Certified Strengths-Based Coach and holds a Master Coach Certification from the Behavioral Coaching Institute.
