WHAT IS ELLEVAE?
A six-month leadership journey where the support matches the work.
ellevae brings accomplished women together in a small-cohort, coaching-supported space to strengthen their influence, sharpen their impact, and deepen their leadership.
Built for the moments when responsibility is high, the questions are complex, and generic leadership advice is no longer enough.
MEET LORI AND KATHY
They built the room they wished existed.
Lori led in academia and Kathy in the private sector. Two totally different worlds, one shared observation: women at this level don't need to be told how to lead. They need a place to work honestly with what leadership is asking of them now. That place became ellevae.

ELLEVAE IS BUILT FOR EXACTLY THIS
The whole leader, addressed in three parts.

"Having Kathy in your corner is invaluable."
"The quality of her counsel is what sets her apart. Her advice is always honest and practical. At one of the harder moments in my career, when self-doubt was creeping in, Kathy cleanly outlined the real value and potential I had. That kind of feedback can be the hardest to accept — but my trust in her made it land."
— J.M., Strategy, Operations & Transformation Executive
"Coaching isn't about fixing something that's broken. It's about unlocking what's already there."
"I was balancing big-picture strategy with the constant pull of day-to-day demands. Lori helped me see my role through an executive lens — and that shift transformed how I lead. I grew in delegation, navigating difficult board relationships, and advocating for my own worth. The biggest shift was internal."
— T.B., Executive Director, Nonprofit Health & Human Services
