Elle Yaven

Curative Communication Architect & Mentor

What I provide is based on an unlikely combo that produces results for clients.

Thousands of coaching conversations. Thousands of hours in the painting studio. Two very different ways of learning to read ambiguity, navigate what's real and create desired outcomes within acceleration.

Grounded in 16 luminous years of fieldwork seeing what made practical sense for clients and graduate students in the trenches of change.  

My evidence-based, signature "playbook" offers a clear map, rapidly applied, for  desired outcomes. Brought to life in every session.  

I've rolled up my sleeves with folks at IDEO, Pixar, Autodesk, Teall Capital, Allianze, Stanford University & Founders at Strong Brew, Oru Kayak, Zoo Labs & Kreatives guiding motivated individuals & teams to use Curative Communication to streamline where they're going with less interpersonal stress.  

I've taught in MBA & Masters Interaction Design at California Collage of the Arts and acted as advisor to The Making Learning Visible Institute at Harvard & U.S. Department of Defense, Education Activity offering teachers feedback-driven learning systems.

Got to visit the Reggio Emila school system in Italy and am a fan.

In Star Wars, the rebel base is on the fourth moon of the planet Yaven. I once told George Lucas my last name. He laughed & said he thought he made it up.

Close enough.
