Elaine was excellent to work with. I've collaborated with her for creating content and she helped me with SEO for my business. She is highly talented, educated, and well versed in what she does and believes in.

We've been working with Elaine for over a year. Having her support and a part of our team has been a game changer for a small and growing business like ours. With her help we have been able to better our work relationship(s) and find ways to navigate our next steps when we needed it the most. She's easy to talk to and utilize as a soundboard, ask for advice, and to offer up solutions. Being able to relate as women of color and AAPI is also a big plus for us as an AAPI and women owned business. Whether you're seeking direction in managing work culture and relationships or help with business strategy and ops, Elaine is your lady.

I met Elaine Lou Cartas in 2023, when she wrote two courses aimed at realigning your life and career, as part of her collaboration with Madecraft. She's not only a communicative storyteller but also offers insightful advice on balancing life and owning your career. Working with her was a breeze; she's highly accountable and always open to feedback. Elaine also runs her own business, where she passionately supports women of color and professionals on their career journeys, and she also skillfully balances this with regularly hosting a podcast. What stands out most is how Elaine understands the art of being your own biggest fan. She never shies away from tough conversations or addressing emotional states, a quality that’s left a lasting impression.

Elaine is an absolute joy to work with! Elaine was recruited to create online courses through Madecraft - the online content creation/distribution company I work for. From our very first conversation together, I was blown away by Elaine's kindness, professionalism, dedication, and impressive get-it-done mentality. Every member of our team has had a blast working with Elaine, and every course she's created with us has been exceptional. She is an expert in countless topics from career development, personal development, entrepreneurship, public speaking, business and executive leadership coaching, diversity, and the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence. Her on-camera presence is also phenomenal and our team has described her incredible performances as captivating, warm, approachable, professional, and composed. I highly recommend working with Elaine, and I'm excited to see her continue making positive impacts everywhere she goes! - Hayley

I enjoyed working with Elaine and her team. She was warm, high energy, and I loved that she coached me through tough conversations with clients that were not holding their end of their contracts. She also provides up to date action items so I know what I have to work on and info meetings with her marketing and systems people. I learned alot from the group sessions with other entrepreneurs, which made me feel like my problems weren't out of the ordinary.

Elaine is magnetic. She can draw out your truth and reflect it back to you. I never knew I needed a little bit of a tiger mom in my life, but I'm so glad Elaine donned that role for me. I felt safe, secure, and unabashedly honest in her presence. The tips she gave to me during our 30 minute session have energized my work once again. I am so so grateful to have connected with Elaine when I did. I highly recommend working with her if you feel stuck or unsure of yourself.

Loved my call with Elaine! We quickly discovered where my strengths in getting clients were. Elaine was very intuitive and made everything simple. I left feeling energised and not tired. In the past I've felt overwhelmed with other coaches it was the opposite here! Elaine really cares about your journey and makes you feel heard!

I was feeling unchallenged and unhappy in my career and was eagerly exploring a career change, but I was fearful and had no idea where to start. The first career coach that came up in my searches was Elaine. I listened to a couple of episodes on her “Color Your Dreams” podcast and immediately scheduled a consultation with her.I knew immediately that Elaine was an amazing career coach, from the time and effort she put into getting to know me, to understanding what I was looking for in career coaching, as well as providing me with valuable resources. And this was all prior to our consultation call! She was so genuine and I could feel that she really wanted to help me. In the 45 minutes that I spoke with Elaine, she listened to my concerns and challenges and provided me with a valuable action plan for taking the next steps towards a career change. There was so much value in this initial call with Elaine, and this action plan she assisted me with proved to be a big success!! I highly recommend Elaine as a career coach! Thanks so much Elaine for the positive impact you have made on my journey!

I'm glad I found Elaine as my first career coach, she is a very experienced, caring and professional - one of the best career coach ever! I related to Elaine a lot because we both are WOC and currently living in LA, have similar Asian culture backgrounds too. During this coaching program, Elaine is very knowledgeable and always answering my questions so quick even outside her working hours! She's very sharp and professional, helped me a lot from dealing with issues in cooperate environment, to now start building my own brand! Highly recommend her to everyone!!

Elaine has been an incredible coach and mentor for me! I met her when I was first launching my business and was really overwhelmed by all the things to do and think about as an entrepreneur with a holistic hypnotherapy practice. Elaine taught me so much and really helped me get my business off the ground with a strong plan in place to start seeing consistent clients. I have grown so much by working with Elaine one on one, in her group workshops and just watching her and being inspired. She has given me the confidence to host my own hypnosis workshops, build a strong email list, and have powerful sales=service calls that lead to new clients. I am so grateful that I found her and will continue to refer my friends. If you are looking for a business coach to help you up level your business while also honoring yourself and your time, I highly recommend you reach out to Elaine. You will have so much fun learning from her!

I started working with Elaine at the beginning of 2022 when I was feeling overwhelmed at work and suffering from burnout. She really helped me step back and re-evaluate my career and personal priorities, helped me understand (along with my therapist) that I was not being valued at my current company, and gave me tremendous support as I interviewed with other companies. I was able to find a new position doing a job that I love with a lot less stress and a $10k pay increase. I am so grateful I made the investment in myself to work with Elaine - it absolutely paid off! I finally have time to dedicate to my family, hobbies, and personal career growth. Don't hesitate to reach out to Elaine to see how she can help you!

Elaine has been my business coach for four years and she has supported me in growing a business, and more importantly, a life that reflects who I am and what I want. Moving through the tough decisions and joyous moments with Elaine in my corner has been game changer in my business. She's helped me with strategy and pricing and marketing, and she's always been committed to honoring who I am every step of the way. If you want to do business your way and still get the results you want, work with Elaine!

Elaine is a gem. She went above and beyond in guiding me towards my goals. The first steps for my particular journey involved analyzing my current client list and identifying patterns in my ideal clients for the purposes of focusing on my marketing efforts into finding those dream clients. After that, she helped me break down my goals into manageable tasks and come up with a plan for the rest of the year in order to reach those goals. The most striking thing about Elaine is how generous she is with her clients - she invited me to her virtual bootcamp and annual retreat, has offered endless resources, provided worksheets with which to challenge myself. She consistently checks in with me on a regular basis, is incredibly personable and has the keenest memory for detail - I honestly don’t know how she remembers everything I tell her! If you’re looking for a business coach who is attentive and straight up just a pro at their job, Elaine is the one for you.

I find that a lot of business coaches seem to focus on the same goal for each client and speak too broadly and generally. They focus on numbers, growth for the sake of growth, and oftentimes promote a culture of toxic positivity. Elaine is not anything like the stereotypical coaches we see on the ads that bombard our feeds. She's personable, an active listener, and great at identifying your needs and what will work for you. Creating a business that is sustainable to my health and happiness is important to me and Elaine has helped me get one step closer to achieving that goal.

Elaine is a very loving, supportive and attentive coach who will give you the tough advice you need and also remind you to value yourself and your time. She gave me amazing business advice that helped me make the income I wanted but was also CONSISTENT. Instead of hitting one 10K month and then burning out, I now feel supported and capable of networking, asking for what I want, and also being realistic about my expectations and seeing what's working. These are all valuable skills not everyone in the business industry touts, but Elaine is excellent in her discernment in helping you also learn to trust yourself and celebrate the highs and lows. I'd 100% recommend her as a coach, mentor, and supporter through these tough times becoming a business owner. I think her approach and philosophy are what's needed in the name of self love and self care!

I had the opportunity to work with Elaine in the later part of 2021 and all I have to say is that she's been incredibly helpful with how I can make my business be more aligned with what I envision it to be. She helped me figure out what steps I need to take and changes I had to do in order for me to reach my business goals. Every session feels like a boost of confidence and I feel so equipped to run my business smoothly now thanks to Elaine! 🙂
