What Others Are Saying

"Ellen has breathed new life into the way we think about and do fundraising at World Vision."

"She brings a rare blend of self-awareness, practical expertise, and contagious enthusiasm that makes learning easy and enjoyable. Unlike many subject matter experts, she shares practical tools and strategies that others can immediately leverage—not just anecdotal stories. Her insights have directly improved our fundraising outcomes — and that means more children have better lives because of her.”

- Stevie Oliver, Fundraising Training & Development Leader, World Vision USA

"Our board is very active, passionate and talented but between many needs and limited resources,
it often feels like chaos."

"Ellen brought to bear the raw horsepower of her IQ, her quite considerable experience and expertise; her ability to focus so intently and yet flip in a millisecond between focus and kindness, compassion and humor.

I love people and they impress me all the time. But people whose light is so bright, whose energy is so pure and fun and elevated where I get to bask in it like the first summer day at the beach…is rare. Ellen is this type of person

After our session, we walked away with clarity, alignment and practical action steps. I would unequivocally recommend her for any board of any size organization. And I’ve had 35 years of non profit board experience."

- Lawrence A Laddaga, AMOR Healing Kitchen
