“I had the pleasure of meeting Elise while preparing for the Asia Pacific Women's Leadership Summit at ADM, attended by 150 experienced female leaders. The summit's goal was to enhance their knowledge, awareness, and broaden their perspectives, a task necessitating a seasoned trainer's guidance. Elise's methodical planning abilities and professionalism were evident throughout.
Her keynote speech, focusing on the intersection of Neuroscience and the Art of Women Leadership, was a highlight. Elise's vivid storytelling and academic insights illuminated the significant gender differences in brain function and neurochemistry, and their impact on leadership styles. She adeptly revealed the hidden power of women's leadership, deeply inspiring the attendees. Her presentation was met with great acclaim and enthusiastic praise post-summit.”

“I came to know Elise from my company’s corporate coaching program, which provided me an opportunity to identify my strengths and areas for improvement to become a more competent leader.
It has always been a natural and collaborative journey following her facilitation from the very first session. Elise is a fantastic listener who never steps into your process of self-exploration, but also will not leave you alone in pointless sharing. Her questions always lead me to an “Aha” moment for deep self-reflection.
Her unique background helped me understand not only mental activities but also the physical dynamics influencing decisions or unexpected reactions. The brain mechanisms she explained have been extremely helpful, becoming my natural instinct to "rewire" my decision-making process for constant growth and learning.
I couldn’t thank her enough for the changes she has enabled for me both personally and professionally.”

“I met Elise years ago at a public conference organized by a famous Learning & Leadership Development platform. Even till now, I could still remember how much I was excited and inspired when listening to Elise’s speech about Neuroscience and Leadership. She talked about how neuroscience taking significant effect on leadership behaviors and why it happened physiologically.
We made a decision to let most of the management and leadership team at Sodexo China learn and benefit from Elise’s in-house training. Thereafter, Elise and her training went viral at Sodexo China, where every participant who attended her training became a huge fan of her marvelous sharing. A couple of cutting-edge learning topics were being promoted with a top-down approach, such as “Neuroscience & Leadership”, “Leadership Resilience”, and “The Power of the Growth Mindset.” These learning initiatives quickly helped boost a positive and proactive learning culture among the management team. It leveraged the self-awareness of individuals that turned out driving behavioral change eventually.
Thank you, Elise, for boosting the leadership evolution that took place at Sodexo China.”

“Knowing yourself can be painful, but having a coach like Elise made my whole process very relaxed.
Elise is a good listener and can help you understand yourself deeply and how you are programmed. After a few sessions with Elise, I was feeling very comfortable facing my vulnerability, and the magical self-improvement journey could really start.
In the second phase of my coaching, Elise always helped me build new neuropathways in my mind to think differently and enhanced my development areas to become unconsciously proficient by showing great compassion. I felt very comfortable entrusting the core of myself to Elise to unleash my unknown potential.
Different from other coaching experiences, I dared to be different and gained more confidence. Elise focused on finding my hidden potential to fit into specific contexts instead of pushing me to be a different person.
I met Elise during the most difficult period of competing for a country director role. Finally, I succeeded in getting the big role, and I could not have made it without Elise's coaching.”

Elise's unique blend of sharing her experiences, scientific background, and insightful questions led me to many "aha" moments, enabling a profound self-discovery journey. Together, we delved into the root causes of my anxieties, re-evaluated my beliefs and values, and planned for the future, covering topics from sleep, diet and relationships. Elise's unwavering gentleness and professionalism inspired confidence and a fresh perspective on life, showing me the positive possibilities that lie ahead.
