About Elaine

“The best part of my work is seeing someone go beyond their own perceived limitations by conquering a new challenge or achieving a new goal. Those Eureka moments are so rewarding, not just for the individual but also for the company, which will get much more from teams and individuals when they are working towards their true purpose, with integrity, enthusiasm and confidence.”
