About Elaine

Stuck in a job you don't like? Or stuck without a job? You are not alone, but most people are approaching job hunting in the traditional way of cold applications. I can help you get out of your head to create actionable steps toward your next chapter. The current job market is complex but there is an opportunity for you to reassess what makes you happy and work toward what makes you happy. I can help you optimize LinkedIn as a networking platform. Did you know: - 85% of jobs are filled through networking, meaning they are secured via personal or professional connections rather than traditional job applications - 70% of jobs are never publicly advertised, and are instead filled through internal referrals or word-of-mouth - Referred candidates are four times more likely to be hired than those who apply without a connection 1. - 50% of job seekers find opportunities through casual conversations, underscoring the value of informal networking

Why do I coach?

I coach because I love helping others. It is the greatest joy to be a part of someone's journey toward living their best life. Throughout my career, I was the recipient of informal coaching (before coaching and mentoring was a defined practice). I believe everyone needs a safe place, a sounding board and a partner in clarifying their goals. As I reflect on my career, my greatest achievement has been supporting others. I supported and mentored an administrative assistant into a VP of Global Sales role. I coached my inside sales partner toward becoming a highly-successful sales executive.
