Unlock Your Dream Career

4 weeks of personalized coaching for people who want to LOVE their work.

Three situations.

All very common. All equally frustrating.

Do any of these scenarios apply to you?

1. “I just want to be happy.”

You want a career that makes you happy but you don’t know what it’s supposed to be. Astronaut? Social media director? Start a bakery? What?! You feel lost. You need direction.

2. “I have a dream, but I need a plan.”

There’s a job you really want. Or a business you want to start. The vision is clear—what’s not clear is how you’re going to get from “here” to “there.” You need a strategic plan.

3. “I have a dream, I have a plan, and yet… I’m still stuck.”

All of the pieces are in place. Yet you’re struggling to take action. Some days you’re motivated. Other days, it’s all just so overwhelming. You need someone to check in with you regularly to hold you accountable to your plan.

Do you recognize yourself in any of the scenarios that I just described?

Maybe even all three of them? Does it feel like your dream career is so, so far away? Locked behind a big, iron door?

My name is Ellen. I’m a career and business coach, a former attorney, and an award-winning entrepreneur. I’ve launched four businesses. I’ve raised two amazing boys. I’ve raised millions to construct new gardens and teaching centers for kids in my community. I’ve reinvented my life and career many times over.

I love helping my clients to find meaningful, exciting work—almost as much as I love eating chocolate while watching Netflix. (Just kidding. I love my work more than Netflix. OK, on second thought, maybe it’s a tie.)

If you’re feeling frustrated about your career—because you feel lost about what your calling is, because you need a plan, or because you feel stuck and overwhelmed—then I’d love to coach you.

We can do 4 weeks of coaching [check out the details down below] to get you moving, much more quickly, towards a type of work, or a style of working, that you really love.

It might take some work. It might require courage and lots of tiny steps. But it’s doable.

Every door can be unlocked.

Coaching With Me: How It Works

Step 1. Send an email to: elfondiler@gmail.com. Tell me about your current situation. Tell me about your dream career or business, too—if you know what it is at this point.

Step 2. I’ll collect a bit more info from you via email and then… away we go! Our 4-week partnership includes 4 phone calls with me (coaching, planning, exploration, about 60 minutes each time) plus a detailed follow-up email after each talk where I’ll outline your “marching orders” for the week ahead. Each week, I’ll also check in to see how you’re doing. If you feel stuck regarding any of the steps that you need to take, we’ll exchange emails and discuss solutions until you’re back on track.

Step 3. At the end of our 4 weeks together, I will ask you:

Are you feeling more hopeful about your career?
Do you feel like you’ve made real progress over the past 4 weeks?
Do you feel clear about what you need to do next?

If your answer to any of those questions is, “Not really,” then I will give you an additional 60 minutes of my time, at no charge, so that we can do an extra coaching session to resolve whatever’s coming up for you. We won’t part ways until you feel excited and empowered.

Pricing: Things To Know

Homework. You will have personalized “homework assignments” throughout the 4 weeks that we’re working together. I might “assign” you to interview 3 of your closest friends to ask, “What are my most under-utilized talents?” and “What do you love about me?” Or I might nudge you to make a proposition to your dream company or client even if you’re convinced they’ll say “no.” (They might not.)

Courage. I will push you to be a little more gutsy and courageous than, perhaps, you are used to being. It’s OK if you’re introverted. I am too. You can be “quiet” and “courageous” at the same time. Unlocking the door to your dream career usually means doing things you haven’t tried before. I’ll be right there with you, providing tons of encouragement at each step.

Scandal. I love the TV show Scandal. And I love coffee, great books, poetry, chocolate, gardening, and astrology. You can expect lots of playfulness—and maybe even an impromptu astrological reading—as part of your coaching experience. We’re going to work diligently but also laugh and enjoy the process, too.

Pricing. For 4 weeks of coaching—everything I’ve described above—you’ll invest $2,250 USD. You can pay all at once or in weekly installments. Your first payment is due on the day that we begin our 4-week partnership.

Questions? Email me at elfondiler@gmail.com. I’m happy to answer anything on your mind.

Let’s Get Started!

I’d be thrilled to help you to find (or create) work that you really love.

With the right attitude and the right strategy, any door can be unlocked.
