Onboarding
Develop more self-awareness:
Self-awareness is the difference between how we see ourselves and others. We will go through an assessment to help us understand your inner critics or inner saboteurs. What can we celebrate? What can we challenge? What's the gap?
Wondering what our session looks like?
In our session, we'll find your purpose, highlight strengths, and shape your life's meaning through self-inquiry and reflection. We'll review peak/challenging times to create your career purpose statement.
Discovery
Group mental fitness boot camp:
Every career has obstacles. Mental Fitness Bootcamp teaches perseverance skills. How can you stay focused in tough times? Lead with patience, empathy, and flexibility for the best results.
I will coach you through an intense 7-week Mental Fitness Bootcamp to boost your performance and happiness. What are some of our positive coping skills? What negative coping skills and self-beliefs might be holding you back? We will learn how to develop our mental muscles and increase happiness. We will equip you with the tools to reframe your negative self-talk and turn them into your strengths.
Growth strategy
Personalized tools and strategies:
We help you move forward and overcome beliefs holding you back. Using your career goals and values, we build a plan. Activities include writing exercises and coaching to address obstacles. I will ensure you follow through with your tasks.
Establish our ongoing practice.
The rubber hits the road. We practice and solve your day-to-day tension in your career journey.
In our 1:1 coaching sessions, you will bring topics for us to discuss, deconstruct, and understand the impact of your negative self-talk.
I will guide you to find the strength and gifts from each situation. For example, if your 'hyper-achiever' saboteur is particularly strong, we will spend more time exploring the impact on you and how to reframe it.
It's all about being your concierge to address your needs.

How to lead as the only minority leader on stage?
I felt increasingly uncomfortable on Friday as I was about to speak at a media conference in Toronto's Chinatown. I was the only minority speaker, which is odd in a city with 57% of its residents belonging to a visible minority, according to StatCan.
I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb, but I also felt this was where I belonged, with nine of my colleagues supporting me. I'm afraid as I write this, but I wanted to share my journey so we can process this together. [read more]
Rock your impression!
Many experienced leaders stumbled on this very simple question -- "Tell Me about Yourself". Here are 3 tips to rock your next introductions.1. Don't share your suffering: This is about telling me about your gifts.
2. What gifts and learning have you collected over the years?
3. Avoid telling your story again and again. Bottom-line your story!
What our clients are saying
“Elliot’s deep listening skills helped me to create a clear plan for my next move, and he thoroughly followed up to ensure I am on track and answer any questions I have along the way.”
— Alex, Digital Transformation Principal
“Elliot was quick to build credibility and shared some of his hardships and his bounce-back. As a participant this was important to know that the coach has experienced speedbumps. Elliot was organized, consistently sought feedback from everyone and found more practical purposes (in this case job search) for the course. Elliot not only understood his material, but he also understood his participants. He knew the right balance as to when to probe/push and when to leave things alone and let the participant come back when they were ready. I do recommend Elliot as a life coach and would be glad to participate in another course with him.”
— Val, Strategic Business Consultant
“In my recent experience with Elliot, he has helped me through coaching activities to better formulate the message of what my personal and career offering is. This has helped me improve my personal bio, cover letter, resume, and be better prepared for a conversation about what I offer in interviews.
As you also get to know Elliot you will find that he has a natural aura that is approachable and always looking to help others in achieving their goals.”
