Here’s how your tailor-made experience works:

START WITH SUCCESS

As a result of our work, what have we accomplished? We explore the outcomes you want for your people, culture and bottom line. Then we get familiar with current barriers and strengths to achieve those goals. You’re honest about how much time, money and energy you want to invest to create what you need.

GET REAL ABOUT SCOPE

Whether we’re designing a team retreat or a leadership program for the entire organization, we need to understand how to make it accessible, engaging and relevant. We’ll establish a framework to best explore and identify the unique needs of your audience in relation to the goals we’ve identified.

CREATE THE EXPERIENCE

We plan the core content and design what we’re learning and how we’re learning it. I’ll create activities that inspire, educate and challenge your leaders to the next level. We’re aligned on decisions regarding the audience, logistics, group size, design and delivery methodology. We plan the core content and design what we learn and how we learn it.

FOLLOW UP AND REFINE

I design highly valued and relevant programs, however there is always opportunity to revisit the overall experience in relation to the feedback and impact. Based on the experience we design, we’ll create a follow up process that provides reflection and learning for us, the learners and the organization. A retrospective also helps us tell our stories as a learning organization. Based on the experience we design, we’ll create a follow up process that examines impact and provides insights for us, the learners and the organization.

PEOPLE ASK ME BACK, OFTEN

I am not just a facilitator, I am a “good energy” conductor. I create a safe environment for people to take risks and try out new behaviours. As an expert question-asker and intuitive listener, I help people connect to challenges, explore patterns, and let the genius in the room shine through. Of course, human dynamics and assumptions may create tricky situations, and that’s where the real learning lies. I have a talent for creating an honest conversation space that translates through the screen into new learning.

These folks have experienced my tailor-made magic first-hand:

“Not only does Elaine bring a depth of knowledge and expertise to the design process, business consulting and coaching teams to deliver exceptional results, she does it all with a touch of humour and grace. Elaine was responsible for leading the team that designed, developed and delivered lululemon’s global retail learning & leadership programming. She created innovative and beautiful learning experiences with the end user in mind. The programs were game changing for our retail store teams, resulting in a more engaged workforce and increased sales.”

SUSAN KARDA, FORMER DIRECTOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
LULULEMON ATHLETICA

“Working with Elaine to develop methods to enhance leadership in individuals and organization has been model for successful partnership. Elaine has an ability to identify the core cultural requirements in an organization as well as the competency requirements and to understand how to address both. She works quickly and seems remarkably capable of enabling disparate organizations to come to workable solutions. She has one hell of an ability to edit complex materials to achieve clarity and brevity — a skill that is not as common as most people think.”

ROBERT CRADDOCK, CD, PARTNER EMERITUS
KEY CONSULTING GROUP / CORPORATECOMPASS

“Elaine has been integral to the success of our WestJet Leadership program that has reached over 900 leaders - from team lead to C-suite - and counting! From the start of our partnership, her talent to understand culture, people and deliverables was evident. Whether it was a design thinking session with WestJet leaders to gather insight to shape the program content, or increasing the skills of our facilitators to confidently deliver the program, Elaine’s ability to connect with people is a unique gift. With years of experience, she is an encyclopedia of engaging content and inspiring learning activities. She is a true thought partner and I consider her to be an extended part of our team. Elaine delivers, every time.”
