Coaching Specialties
Work/Life Balance: Making changes in your life that put you in the center where you belong – not at the end but at the beginning of the cycle. How to create a life that incorporates what is most important to you, what are you tolerating, what do you need to say “yes” to and what do you need to say “no” to? Business/Executive: I coach entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in building a vision for their business with purpose, passion and being in line with their values. In other words, being authentic and putting your actions to your words to “walk the talk”, not some dry document that lives on a dusty shelf but one that has heart, is a living document that breathes, changes, evolves and unfolds powerfully. I coach to bring out and enhance the Leadership qualities within. Money/Wealth: The Money Coach. With an 18-year background in accounting I help you to develop a love relationship with your finances by exploring underlying disempowering beliefs and transforming them to empowering beliefs. What’s the value to you in having fun while you generate money and additional business? Mentor Coaching: Coaching coaches through certification and beyond - how to develop a successful business plan focusing on purpose, passion, values which will compel you forward passionately and enthusiastically versus being driven.

Testimonials
I recommend Elsbeth highly to any executive concerned about identifying and bringing into focus those large, very important, goals that we are capable of accomplishing and which lie below the surface, not yet acted upon. She is also adept at quickly identifying those areas where performance could be strengthened and encouraging people like me to address and improve those areas. However, what makes her most valuable to me is her ability to identify habitual patterns of thinking and her skill in actively getting me to go beyond those habitual responses, to find the real opportunities in situations, and to begin working on them in a constructive and fruitful way. I recommend her highly to any executive looking to reach important goals, looking to change those habitual patterns that hold so many executives back, and wishing to lead a fulfilling, more balanced life. She is an awesome coach. GC, PhD, Business Executive & Entrepreneur
Elsbeth is a powerful and compassionate coach, who has helped me process through numerous very stressful life issues that impacted my abiltiy to move on in my life and to become the business and life coach that I am. Elsbeth is tuned into "the heart"of the matter and can cut through the "crap" and help you get clear. Once clear, the decisions and actions come with ease. Life doesn't have to be a struggle, it can be truly joyful. I know this. JM, Certified Coach & Entrepreneur
Elsbeth hears and responds to whatever I’m saying. She reinforced my strengths and is totally supportive in my quest to minimize my weaknesses. Her ability to determine when I need redirection helps me progress in my personal life and consequently my ability as a Coach. Elsbeth’s coaching is like a great bra! It forces one to head in the right direction, pushes and supports whenever and wherever appropriate, but doesn’t make one feel constrained or self conscious. LW, Coach & Entrepreneur
Elsbeth created a safe place for me to get deeply personal, honest and authentic about me & my life. That's the key - when you know who you are and what you stand for in life (set boundaries), you make smarter choices. I've calmed the busy mind that use to worry about everything now I focus on what matters and control only what I can control. No matter what I'm doing: phone conversation, reading to my son, hearing about my husband's day at work, or walking with my dog - I make an effort to be fully present and can I just say, I had no idea I was missing so much! LH, Homemaker
