What customers say about Elaine
“Elaine’s strength I believe is her ability to allow me to open up. Her ability to listen, understand, be able to empathize have helped gain my trust. Thus, I was able to accept her coaching by allowing her to ask me questions, as difficult as they are sometimes, as it forced me to really think hard about my situation and look for the solution myself.”
~ Jen Tongco, Managing Director of Netrust Philippines

“Elaine has coached me since December 2022, and I really appreciate her perspective and how great an empath she is. Her roles have evolved through the many seasons of my life in the last two years. She started out to assist me in my goal setting, but over time, she’s also helped me in developing time management and leadership skills, succeed in job applications, and managing family crises, including the passing of my father, and my eventual relocation to the United States together with my family. I am further comforted that she is a working mother who is able to relate with my personal struggles. Elaine and I have accomplished a lot over the past two years. She has a great gift in coaching.”
~ Diana Rose Del Rosario, Economist at International Monetary Fund
