Elyse S.

As a triathlete with 15 years of experience and 9 Ironman finishes, I know how to activate resilience, perseverance, and focus in my clients. Leadership under pressure has a lot of parallels to endurance racing. Both require mental and physical fitness, positive thinking strategies, knowing when to switch between narrow, in-the-moment focus and long-term strategic thinking, putting support systems in place, trusting oneself and others. I support my clients in enhancing their professional and personal performance and moving towards the goals they set for themselves.

As a coach, I stand for the power of choice. We can endure and get through just about anything when we put our minds to it. As a triathlete with 15 years of experience, I’ve learned a lot of life lessons, especially on patience, stamina and resilience. I was tested on these lessons in particular when I was struck by a car in 2014 and left at the side of the road. Recovery and resilience, just like an endurance race, take time, strategy and positivity. My coaching centers around perspective and the choices one has at any time to help improve one's outcomes.

I coach individuals, leaders, teams and organizations on how to be more effective in their communication, productivity, effectiveness, career direction confidence, influence and relationships. Some other areas of focus are time management, stress management, building trust, work/life/harmony, emotional intelligence, wellbeing, accountability, coaching and developing others. My passion is bringing out the best in others through coaching, inspiration and facilitation. I challenge by choice.

Some of my clients over the past 20 years include: Royal Caribbean, Club Med, Dell, Baptist Health South Florida, Citibank, Google, Facebook, Carnegie Mellon and Florida International University. I have attained a Bachelor of Arts in Communications at the University of Southern California and a Masters of Science in Human Resource Development at Florida International University. Additionally, I have attained a Professional Coaching Certification, accreditation from the International Coaching Federation and certification in leadership coaching from Georgetown University.
