My nickname's Elle. My leadership method is based on an unlikely combo:

Thousands of coach conversations. Thousands of hours in the painting studio. Two very different ways of learning to read ambiguity, navigate what's real & build/innovate.

Grounded in 16 luminous years of fieldwork seeing what made practical sense for entreprenurs & MBA students in the trenches of change.

I've rolled up my sleeves partnering at IDEO, Pixar, Autodesk, Teall Capital, Allianze, Stanford University, Strong Brew, Oru Kayak, Zoo Labs & Kreatives -all discovering strategic ways to get stuff done with less interpersonal stress & more comraderie.

I've had amazing students teaching in MBA & Masters Interaction Design at California Collage of the Arts & advised The Making Learning Visible Institute at Harvard. At the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity I partnered with teachers providing a feedback-driven learning system.

Got to visit the Reggio Emila school system in Italy.
