Elaine was a Lifestyle Entrepreneur and Soloprenuer long before the trendy labels. Elaine created Being Valued at the turn of the millennium. On January 1, 2000, Elaine left the cushy paycheck-every-two-weeks career to go it alone. The first lesson she learned was: No one really does anything alone. Elaine speaks with gratitude about the many champions who built this Being Valued business over the years.

After graduating with a degree and advanced study in Experiential Learning, Elaine has served as the Director of Programming, Content Creator for Learning Management Systems, and Director of Learning and Development. She is a trusted advisor and consultant to C-suite executives, professional athletes, and employees in a range of global industries to measurably improve performance. 

Elaine has created and delivered training programs for Fortune 100 companies, corporations, small businesses, school districts and charitable organizations in all 50 United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Philippines, and South Africa. Elaine has been blessed with a big extended family who cooperates with her need to experience new adventures. Where to next??
