Elena Sarango Executive Coaching

Making the invisible visible, one conversation at a time

Leaders, at all levels, beginners and experienced, face uncomfortable situations that make them feel stuck, not sure about what is the next step, or how to manage a particular situation. Asking for feedback or opening up and being vulnerable is scary. I used to feel this way! I’ve been there. I have learned and grown. As your coach, I create that safe space you desire to open up freely; I listen carefully to what you say and what you truly mean, and we co-create together options and ultimately solutions that lead you to growth and advancement.

My mission

I enable leaders to unleash their full potential, coaching them to increase their emotional intelligence to lead fulfilling lives both at work and at home

What I do for you

Leaders often think they have to have all the answers, and avoid asking for help. You are not alone!
Through the transformative power of coaching I am your dedicated accountability partner, where I foster a safe space that nurtures self-awareness, paving the way for an extraordinary journey towards lasting joy and fulfillment.

Testimonials

"I am very grateful to know Elena. Through a generous and insightful thought process Elena guided me from one question to the next and in an unexpected turn she guided me through a beautiful exercise that moved me to tears.

I was having difficulty deciding between two job offers, each one pulled me in a different direction and to a different city.

Elena's help was like fresh water, she helped me by guiding my thought process into awareness of myself as a whole which made the decision making process flow. I felt relieved and happier that my choice will take me where my whole self needs to be aligned with my values and with what I want for the future."

"Elena, thanks for the personal values exercise. Not only did I use to it figure out my values, I also used it with my husband to look at how we want to raise our kids and what values to focus on instilling in them. So helpful!"

- Valerie

"I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Elena. She exuded warmth and made me feel genuinely welcomed. Her insightful questions prompted me to consider aspects I hadn't previously pondered, providing me with newfound clarity on various levels. I eagerly anticipate our next conversation."

- Eniola

"As part of a work initiative, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work with Elena to assess and bolster my Emotional Quotient. Elena’s approach was semi-structured but comprehensive which I found invaluable. It consisted of structured evaluations and exercises as well as less structured conversations discussing and digging into results and findings. Over several focused sessions, I was able to easily identify areas of strengths and opportunities and developed an action plan and an effective tool kit to help turn found opportunities into new strengths.

Overall I found Elena to be very patient, objective, and passionate about her work and clients. Which was the recipe for a successful outcome."

– Director – Industrial Supplier

"Elena is a master listener, conversation navigator, and champion of authenticity.

I can't thank Elena enough for her insights and follow-up activities to continue my journey of self-empowerment and self-actualization."
