Let's Connect
A group of five people gathered around a white table in a modern office, engaged in a discussion. Two women are using laptops, one with a tablet in hand, and a man holding a pencil and smiling. The table has notebooks, a phone, and a fruit bowl with apples, with a coffee mug and a drink also visible. They are seated near large windows with frosted glass panels, and a large hanging lamp is above the table.

Perhaps you are working with a team and noticing that performance challenges are not caused by a lack of talent, but by unclear communication, disengagement or ineffective ways of working together.

I’m Elena, trainer in communication skills and personal leadership.

Over the past 15 years, I have designed and delivered both live and online training programs for multinational companies, facilitated communication, leadership and personal effectiveness programs for commercial organisations, non-profits and international professionals.

Throughout my career, I worked at the International Training Centre of the ILO, led the training department at Fraser and served as HR and Training Manager at Engel & Völkers Yachting. I have also designed and delivered customised development programmes for organisations including Hooning Association Managers, TWW and YPI.

I am an experienced trainer, Master Practitioner in NLP and certified coach with an extensive background in HR, coaching and training.  

My approach is warm, reflective and practical — combining deep personal insight with concrete behavioural tools professionals can immediately apply in the workplace.
