Ellen's Story

​

Ellens father was an entrepreneur and as a little girl she would watched him struggle. This created a strong desire to help her father grow his business. She remembers wishing he would be home more and that he had a happier life.  As she got older she would ask how she could help him in the business. He responded that a painting contracting company was no place for a girl. We have to keep in mind that at that time it was not common for women to be in the workplace. 

​

Determined to help Ellen went to college to study psychology and business.  After succeeding in industry, Ellen took the leap to entrepreneurship with the same determined goal, to help entrepreneurs and business leaders achieve their goals both professionally and personally.  

Ellen looks at every client as if they were in her fathers shoes.  She recognized early on that independent of industry, age, gender or race; every professional is trying to make a contribution and every leader wants to develop professionally and personally.

Ellen’s strategic thinking, change management capabilities and presentation skills capitalize on three important resources: People, Productivity and Profit by forming collaborative partnerships within organizations to successfully implement transformational initiatives.
