Elaine’s Backstory
Since Elaine was a young person, there have been two things she has been really passionate about besides family, friends, and outdoor activities:
- Helping people develop and learn through teaching and coaching
- Music
Elaine loves people of all types, finds them fascinating, and enjoys improving their understanding of and relationship with themselves, others, and their professional and personal communities. Her purpose is to encourage clients to develop clarity, commitment, capability, creativity, and connections to contribute their best in work and life. She has trained and coached leaders in organizations for 35 years — 17 of which were spent working internally in Boston financial and high-tech companies creating, managing, and implementing company-wide leadership training, coaching, performance management, competency-modeling, and talent review/succession planning initiatives.
Most rewarding are the meaningful relationships she’s built with leaders over the years, as well as the leadership development goals and lifelong learning commitment she has helped them achieve for themselves and promote in others. Elaine also values the honest, resonant conversations and exchange of energy, thought, insight, and truth between herself and her clients, and finds it similar to the flow and connection that can happen between a musician and his/her audience.
In terms of her love of music, Elaine has pursued it as her avocation. She has studied voice with five Boston teachers, “cut her teeth” performing at Cambridge blues jams, and led her own six-piece R&B/soul band that performed in the Boston-area. She has been a singer in an annual music jam for 20 years, and continues to hone her craft and stay active in the Boston music community.
When not coaching or making music, she feels blessed to enjoy life and laughter with her son, family, and friends.
