“Color Your Dreams®, Create Your Legacy.”
During this session, we will identify your long-term career goals what’s working for you now, what’s not working for you, and what you want to gain.
Through our 1:1 career coaching, we help ensure that you’re able to embody your values while creating your own definition of success and happiness in life and work. Because you can lead without sacrificing your well-being.
If you’re a woman of color, or ally, who’s established success in leadership or executive positions, I’m here to hold a supportive space to hold conscious conversations, implement holistic leadership, and prioritize a life led by fulfillment and self-trust.
I offer a trauma-informed coaching process to acknowledge your experiences and that your definition of happiness in work and life can continuously evolve.
“It was a space I can be free in. You [Elaine] saw me as a woman of color struggling for my footing. I walked away knowing that I’m not crazy and that there is help. Thank you for seeing me. It’s helped me get me to where I am at NOW.”

“Working with Elaine helped me get a new job where I doubled my income. She has also helped me become more assertive in the workplace. Elaine focuses on the systems that will make your business successful. Those systems have allowed for me to have 80% of my client renewals completed early.”
— Lindsey, Market Director
Why should you work with a female leadership coach who specializes in career coaching?
As a fellow woman, you don’t need to explain why you think or feel certain ways because of your cultural upbringing. I completely understand the imposter syndrome and feelings of disappointing our family when we go after our dream careers.
We were raised to go after the secure and safe job, but I’m here to show you that you can have a fulfilling career that provides security, safety, and the life you’ve always wanted.
How am I different than other career coaches?
I’ve had a similar work experience to you:
I am a proud first-generation Filipino immigrant. I acknowledge the privilege I have because of all the generational sacrifices made before me. Below is a picture left to right, my dad, my grandma, and my grandma holding a pic of my great-grandfather and me.
I was a former grassroots organizer and political fundraiser. I’ve worked on progressive state-wide senate, congressional, and local political races from 2011 – 2014 throughout the country. I had my first Director position at 22 years old. Here’s a pic of me in the Capitol when I helped then-Congresswoman Janice Hahn get elected!
I used to be bullied at work and learned how to stand up for myself. Below is a pic of me at the first event I hosted in June 2018 to help women of color and allies put themselves first.
I was frustrated with not making my worth and too scared to ask for a raise. I also sought help through my career coach, asked for a $12k raise, and successfully got it! And now I teach my clients to get raises as well.
I had to be honest and realize I no longer loved the industry I spent five years in. I was completely burnt out. I mapped out a successful job search and found a new industry and job, making $26k more as a nonprofit fundraiser where I raised over $1.1 million in student scholarships. It was a dream job where I worked with an incredible mentor, colleagues, and career success I’ve always wanted. Below is a pic of me and a couple of scholarship winners doing a phone bank to raise more scholarship money!
Are you struggling with what to do next, and seeking to redefine your own definition of success?
After living through multiple years of a pandemic, everyone is starting to know what they want in their career beyond a paycheck.
According to Harvard Business Review, 47 Million Americans left their jobs in 2021.
We’ve been stuck at home asking ourselves hard questions to ensure we are aligned with our legacies.
These are questions that I’ve explored in my professional career and have helped my clients with through our coaching sessions…
Do you truly have the work-life balance or integration where you spend time with loved ones? (ie. I hope you do not have lunch with your laptop every day!)
Are your colleagues respecting you as a woman of color or person of color?
And you are at this job because it’s what your family and society have told you to do?
Are you confident that you are on the right career path, or do you feel you need to explore career transitions? At 28, I went from making $72k in an industry I didn’t love to my first 6-figure job in a completely different industry.
Do you feel you have high potential, but you are not growing personally and professionally?
Is it time for you to find that one true dream job? Or to get a job at an executive level where you continue to gain career development?
Do you want to have conversations with your boss about potential leadership positions within the company that you don’t know how to? As Kathy Caprino shares, “most professional challenges, are related in some core way to a lack of internal or external power that causes steady “leaks” in confidence, vision, and authority.”
Do you want to know what’s possible for you if we work together?
