Wendy Ellin's eyes were opened after decades in the corporate world when it became apparent that many really busy professionals were suffering from a lack of organizational skills, systems, and strategies.

That's when she decided her mission was to help them achieve their goals and their dreams by teaching them how to operate in their workplace environment.

No matter who they work for, what they do, or even where they do it from.

Wendy is determined to Make Working From Home (and anywhere else) work for you. Wendy has been doing it successfully for the past two decades and hundreds of her clients have been doing it as well.

How to face self doubt and realize that it is not unusual. It's not new but it's everywhere. That uncertainty. Luckily we have a very special guest this week who may just be able to give us some insights - Christine Sachs.

The skills Christine coaches are often in the realm of authentic communication, executive presence, team dynamics, and overcoming self-doubt (aka “Imposter Syndrome”). Her client roster consists of executives and senior managers in a diverse range of organizations from multinational corporations to high-growth, international tech start-ups.
