Meet Elana
Hi, I'm Elana.
I'm a creative facilitator and trainer with more than eight years' experience and participants from 35+ countries.
Growing up as a third culture kid, I learned early how to read a room and help people feel at home with one another. Today I bring that to every training, workshop and team experience I design.
Kind words
What people say.
Elana's use of insights to build bridges and find practical solutions to embrace diverse perspectives consistently illustrates a genuine concern for others. What is perhaps most remarkable is Elana's creative consistency. With emotional intelligence skills to the fore, Elana can swiftly create environments where reticence fades, and both mutual respect and active listening become the norm.
Elana is on top of her game! Her energy and enthusiasm made the session come to life. She designed fun and practical activities relevant to the participants' needs. And, Elana handled the debriefs effectively, so the exercises were impactful and resulted in insights.
The workshop with Elana was not only joyful, it was also really strengthening the connection to myself.
Our trainer Elana is a good leader who created unforgettable experiences.
Elana was the mentor in the course conducted here, and her energy, the way she presented the contents, made the experience an easy one, I didn't even feel when the 5 days of the course passed.
HOW IT WORKS
What working together looks like.
Whether you're growing your own practice, tackling a team challenge or planning a team day, the journey is simple.
Step 1: Start the conversation
Tell me about your group and what you'd like to learn, change or celebrate.
Step 2: Shape it together
I design a training, workshop or team experience around your goals, context and people, and check in with you so it fits.
Step 3: Experience it
Your group steps into an active, creative session where everyone has a way to take part.
Step 4: Carry it forward
You leave with practical tools, agreements or shared memories, and we look at what's changed and what comes next.
No performing required: everyone takes part in their own way.
Let's design the session your team needs.
