Testimonials

 
Ellen has somehow mastered every career she’s chosen because she’s perceptive, a people person and most importantly, she’s not afraid of hard work. When she shares her personal philosophy that ‘nothing is impossible’, it’s based on truth — she’s walked the walk and talked the talk through decades of hands-on career experience and can help her clients truly unlock any door in their way. While most people are willing to settle for their current circumstances, Ellen won’t take no for an answer. She’s the BFF, career coach and mentor you didn’t know you needed…until now!

I hired Ellen as my career coach because I was feeling stuck. I had a big project I wanted to complete, but everything felt overwhelming and I didn’t know where to begin. Ellen pushed me to get off my couch and get back into the world! She encouraged me to attend classes, set up meetings, surround myself with new people, and get the energy moving again. I’m so grateful I hired Ellen when I did. I am back on track–and Ellen’s support and you-can-do-this attitude helped so much

I signed up for ReLaunch looking for a boost of energy and direction. Ellen’s rare combination of warmth and dedication helped me identify goals, find courage, and take the first steps to make new things happen. I highly recommend Relaunch for anyone seeking a renewed sense of purpose in their lives. Ellen expertly guides you out of your head, helps you get things done and becomes a partner as you turn.

Relaunching with Ellen was exactly what I needed at the perfect time — next week I’m starting a new job I landed right after our session ended. Even better, with Ellen’s expertise and supportive enthusiasm, I’ve transformed my approach to change. Next time I want to reinvent something in my life, I’ll be using the framework I learned from her. And I really enjoyed connecting with my Relaunch classmates, too. The program, like Ellen herself, is inspiring, empowering, action-oriented, and a lot of fun.

I began Relaunch without a clear picture of what my end goal would look like, but with the general idea that I needed to hit the reset button on my relationship with myself and my life. Ellen not only helped me understand myself better, but also demonstrated and supplied tools for me to tap into my creativity, listen to myself, and live with intention. Thank you, Ellen, for giving me the “life hacks” I need to engage with my own passions and curiosities!

I collaborated with Ellen to create an online class called Miracle Worker, which we taught to about 200 students. What I love most about Ellen is her courage. She’s not afraid to march right up to someone at an event and introduce herself, make a proposition, or ask a question. This is a rare quality, especially nowadays! When you spend time with Ellen, her courage rubs off on you, and you’ll find yourself feeling braver and more tenacious, too.
