 - Did that land the way I intended?
 - Do I actually know what I’m doing as a leader?

Have you ever left a

meeting wondering…

If so, you’re not alone.

Many talented professionals step into leadership roles without

ever being taught how leadership confidence is actually built.

This workshop is Ideal for:

• New leaders
• Aspiring leaders
• Professionals preparing for leadership roles
• Managers who want to lead more confidently

Many leaders struggle with:

- Self-doubt

- Imposter syndrome

- Negative self-talk

- Unclear expectations about what leadership really looks like

Without the right tools, even capable leaders can find themselves hesitating, overthinking decisions, or trying to “fake confidence.”

Leadership Confidence doesn’t come from personality.

It comes from taking action.

It was good to know others feel imposter syndrome too.

— Workshop Participant
I didn’t realize the difference between being a manager and a leader. I will think about this more and be intentional about when I will play these roles.

Fantastic overview of what it means to have leadership confidence!
— Workshop Participant

Hi, I’m Elissa, and I help managers in non-profits, government agencies, and small businesses lead in ways that makes everyone feel appreciated.

How do I do that? l come into your workplace and either work 1:1 with managers, or lead group workshops that strengthen leadership and connection. If that sounds dry, it’s not! My specialty is to focus on the fun, healthy, and productive side of things.

My approach is two-fold. 

  • In a best-case world, I work with groups and use fun team building exercises in workshops and on retreats to strengthen bonds and improve workplace culture. Think of it as a proactive approach, like eating leafy, green vegetables or going for a run to keep your heart healthy and functioning properly. 

  • I also work directly with managers to help improve the workplace environment when it’s clear that something is just a bit out of whack. Like when you just need a new carburetor to make the car hum again. In these reactive situations where the problems already exist; I work with leaders on everything from trust issues to growth struggles to FIX what’s wrong so employees feel supported and connected and happy to show up for work.  

I have a Master’s Degree in Multicultural Education and a certification in Positive Psychology, but it’s the practical experience I received working for over 20 years with people in mission-driven organizations that allows me to help managers create more inclusive environments that are able to tap into their employees strengths. 

Because no one wants to work in a place that doesn’t support them. Doesn’t get them. With Work Wise Labs resources, you can help your managers create an environment that is fun and supportive, without ever losing sight of your workplace’s mission.

Work Wise Labs  grew organically out of the lessons I learned along the way. Bottom line: everyone should be happy to go to work, and I can provide the tools to make that happen.
