Éléments Experience

“It was extremely impactful to see examples of what a great speech/keynote/storyteller looks like in action, it will stick with me for the rest of my life. I felt very moved by that (as well as other talks/performances) and, having gone into the day with very little interest in keynote speeches for my career personally, had a very different mindset by the end of the day with regards to the level of skill, natural talent, work and relentless practice that it takes to craft a great one.”

“The #1 most powerful thing about this experience was the design of it. The sequencing of activities, the change in locations to drive creativity, the unexpected twists (super helpful in not allowing us to get too deep in our heads). I credit the design in great part with how all of us were when we hit our blockages, we rarely did it simultaneously and we did not remain stuck for long. A++ for design.”

“Not only have several of my blind spots been blown wide open, I have a framework of how to move through my stuck-ness. It's already helping me reframe the conversations I have with myself and rewriting what I believe is possible.”

“Unfailingly positive and supportive demeanors as well as the facilitators’ willingness to be available for extra coaching or help at any time. This made me feel safe with being vulnerable and asking for help with a concept without fear of judgment or "bothering" them.”

“Empathic listening teaching and exercises - this was one of my personal highlights, as it was an "aha!" moment for me on a specific skill that will benefit my personal and professional lives equally (and one that surprised me with how much I need to work on it!).”

“A personal highlight for me was writing our Personal Origin Stories. It forced me to really look at myself in a different way than I ever allowed myself to previously. Very impactful and a more challenging exercise than I imagined, having only had my ingrained "elevator pitch" for the last ten years as the "best" way to introduce myself.”

“I'm still discovering all of the ways that this experience will benefit me. On a personal level, it was a bookend of a major period of transformation in my life, and gave me the skills to more deeply examine who I want to be and how I want to live my life going forward. Just the conversation of your past being the "wake behind a boat" has literally shifted my perspective in significant ways. And that was just one of 500 nuggets of wisdom I noted and will be referring to daily.”

“On a professional level, I feel empowered to build deeper trust and connection with people at all levels of any type of organization, how to answer intelligently when under pressure and not fully prepared, how to ask for what you need in a clear and powerful way, and how to actually listen to connect with people (and authentically care about what matters to them).”

“This Experience gave me an incredible context for re-thinking how my actions/words directly impact the life I create for myself and those I enroll in my success. It was more empowering than what I learned in 15 years of therapy to see how much the mindset you decide to take on every day can impact your happiness, sense of self and success.”

“My goal is to share everything I’ve learned with my team and begin contributing to panels and keynotes in the event industry. This will help me grow my business, my team and myself.”
