Leadership Coaching
I’ve spent the last fifteen years building, growing, and leading interdisciplinary creative teams who thrive in ambiguity and innovate for the business.
My coaching focuses on self mastery and resolving unconscious blocks that are holding you back. With this empowerment, you’re better prepared to navigate your business and organization—having the most fun while delivering the most impact.
As a multi-racial woman leader and ally for all underrepresented communities, I specialize in navigating corporate power structures and creating team cultures that get the most out of their diverse workforce.
“You tell the story of what things will look like once we’ve built them…”
“… and your vision gets us excited about the process of building.”
StandOut, The Marcus Buckingham CompanyGuiding Principles
Build Trust
Trust is the foundation of all relationships—with yourself, your peers, your team, and the people using what you create. When there is trust you unlock unlimited opportunity.
Demonstrate Intention
From strategy or design decisions to communicating in your day to day work, knowing your intention and communicating it clearly is key. I use this principle to analyze business trade offs quickly, moving the product forward and also to deliver feedback that feels empowering.
Be the Catalyst
I embrace change and believe in evolution. This means retaining the value you have as a team or business, but not getting so comfortable that you miss an opportunity to help people or the business.
One-on-One Coaching Intensive
Aligning Intent & Impact: For Leaders Ready to Close the Gap
A 6-session, one-on-one coaching intensive for senior leaders, with special focus on creatives in tech and underrepresented groups.
When you're constantly translating between your authentic self and corporate expectations, feedback can land in complicated ways—making it hard to use what you need to grow. If you’re working to understand performance feedback that feels conflicting with your identity and intentions, this coaching can help you extract something of value to unblock your career ambitions.
Together we'll explore what's really happening beneath the surface: the patterns driving how you show up, the stories you're carrying, and how to lead powerfully while staying true to who you are.

We'll explore:
Your current challenge and the feedback gap
The narratives and patterns shaping your leadership
New approaches and experiments in how you show up
Strategic influence with executives and stakeholders
Integration and sustaining the shifts

“As a mentor, Ella helped me build confidence, see my strengths and own my wins. She encouraged me into bigger and better spaces and is the main reason I’ve been able to build a successful career there on out.”
My Mentorship Circles : The Only
I run mentorship circles for people who relate to being “The Only”. The only woman in the room, the only person of color in the room, the only non-gender conforming in the room, the only of their job discipline, and any other core identity.
In my circles, we:
get back in touch with our core energy and motivation
find parallels to this feeling in our work environment
breakdown real-life scenarios of power dynamics, cultural norms, office culture
We come away with tactics to stand out for our superpowers instead of our identities.
