Testimonals
"I can't say enough great things about Elise. There was not a single moment during the training when I felt bored or disengaged. The way she brought everyone in to participate and built the trust needed to make that successful helped me build connections with my fellow classmates."
NASA Participant
“Elise is an amazing teacher. Her legal background gives her a unique perspective. She knows what you know, what you don’t know, and (most importantly) what you think you know. Not only will you learn a lot, you will learn a lot about yourself and what motivates you. Training with Elise is like therapy, with a lot more laughing.”
Cathi Carson, Esq.Attorney
"Elise and I have collaborated on many projects. She is a powerhouse of talent and wisdom well beyond her years. As a Director she offers a provocative, fresh, and compassionate voice, and brings a creative, detail-oriented, and business-savvy approach to her work. She maintains a greater awareness of the big picture yet knows how to accomplish smaller goals. Plus, she's funny."
Kathryn ParksFilmmaker, Media Professional, Entertainer

"Elise's versatility and commitment cannot be understated. She has an intrinsic ability to read the scene and bring what’s needed, whether that's empathy, big emotion, physicality, a quip (in English or Spanish!), a song, or all of the above. She supports the heck out of her teammates and is exactly who you want in your corner, on or off stage.”

“Elise is an incredible teacher, mentor, and colleague. Part of her excellence lies in her ability to not only hone in on an individual’s strengths, but also help them see and utilize those strengths. Another part lies in her incredible energy and empathy. She lifts the people around her, and I always feel like I can move mountains after working with her.”
