Executive Leadership Coaching for the Northland’s Businesses and Beyond
Raise the bar for yourself, your leaders, and your organization.
DEVELOP A NEW, FRESH APPROACH TO AN OLD CHALLENGE
Year after year, we've sat with ambitious business leaders — like you — and engaged with their struggles. We listened to them in their most difficult moments, when they felt the most lost or overwhelmed by workplace troubles. We tested and refined strategies to overcome their immediate difficulties and prepare them to resolve future challenges.
The result? An approach for personal transformation that has a powerful impact on how you show up at work. With a unique combination of group coaching and 1:1 sessions, participants walk away from our training and talks better equipped to be the leader they want to be.
From Fortune 50 companies to small business owners to healthcare workers to educators, we’ve shown Northern Minnesota executives how to overcome their limiting beliefs and achieve breakthrough results.
We’ll customize our collaboration to not only detangle your team’s unique challenges, but get closer to accomplishing your big hairy audacious goals, too.
Is your team disconnected from your mission?
Do you struggle to fully engage and empower your leadership team in co-creating the future vision of your organization?
Are you wrestling with overwhelm?
Can you readily access your “Clear No’s,” check your perceptions, and manage your stress and over-responsibility with intention?
Are you frustrated with the quality of your business relationships?
Does your leadership team and wider organization fail to communicate constructively and productively?

Our Coaching Emphasizes…
A culture of ownership
Clear - and better - agreements
Customized options with measurable results
Consistent support with unique group + 1:1 model
A transformed sense of self, team and company potential
“Elsie did a leadership blind spot training at our leadership retreat and it was transformational for my leaders! We laughed, we cried, we were vulnerable, and we grew as leaders. After receiving the feedback forms after the retreat, it was obvious to me that Elsie’s training was their favorite part from the retreat. Hands down, highly recommend Elsie for any company who wants to experience growth and breakthroughs!"

Many survey respondents specifically asked for her to come back next year, which is proof of her extensive knowledge and professionalism. Thank you, Elsie!”
