Hi, I'm Ella! I'm here te elevate your leadership team through training & development programs. TLDR: You can purchase leadership content I've created or hire me as a contractor to design, build, and facilitate a leadership program or session for your team. Other things I like to share with people: After several years of working in training, onboarding, and leadership development, I received my Master’s in Organizational Leadership. My capstone research and continuing passion today focus on 1:1 conversations between leaders and employees and how to drive engagement and performance. This is what lights me up - helping leaders lead better *in the moment*. Think of conversation starters, frameworks, questions, and actionable ways to have better conversations and connections. I love to go beyond the fluff and philosophical and help people take action on learning! As I launched deeper into leadership content and learning experiences, I paired my studying with hands-on experience creating and developing leadership programs and teams. I also gained knowledge in HR and People Operations functions. While it's not my primary focus, I have and can serve as a tactical or strategic HR partner as needed. I enjoy partnering with leaders from diverse industries such as tech, transportation, supply chain, landscaping, finance, and manufacturing. Whether you're a business looking to amp up onboarding or build a brand new leadership program or an organization looking for a freelancer to work with you on a L&D project, I'm excited to jump in and get to work! Please message me if you have questions about working together or connecting on shared interests.

I believe that my experience uniquely qualifies me to assist with any of your professional and career assistance needs. I have experience working in management positions for three Fortune 500 companies including one Fortune 10 company. I have progressively transitioned into several positions that have enabled me to demonstrate my skill and talent as a manager. Throughout my career pursuits I have gained valuable experience in resume writing, LinkedIn profile design, and career seeking methods. I'd like to help other individuals who are looking to make their next career move or simply update their resume or career profiles. Much of my success has been attributed to creating a strong personal brand that has attracted top companies and recruiters. I am currently an Operations Manager with Amazon responsible for overseeing the outbound operations within one of Amazon's Chicagoland fulfillment centers. I oversee the safety, quality, and productivity for a team of 6 managers and 200+ associates. Prior to Amazon, I was the Distribution Center Manager for Life Fitness responsible for the successful operation of a 500,000 sq ft. distribution center generating approximately $365 million in yearly revenue. During my time as D.C. Manager, I was accountable for the overall performance, cost, quality, and reporting of internal metrics for both the inbound and outbound operations. I have experience as an Executive Team Leader for Target and was responsible for the logistics operations of the business. This role gave me the opportunity to manage a store generating $42 million in sales and lead a team of 200 team members. As a store manager I experienced success in promoting a healthy team culture that enabled the business to run efficient processes and drive profitable sales. As a Production Supervisor at Hormel Foods, I was involved in promoting productivity, quality, safety, and process improvement for the business. I took a leading role in the implementation of a new production line at Hormel's Dubuque processing plant. As a graduate of Krannert's prestigious business management program, I have been successfully trained in a wide array of business subjects. I believe that my studies and my experiences while in Krannert have prepared me to successfully fulfill a management position in any field. I would like to continue utilizing my strategic, operational, and financial knowledge in business to implement success in my organization.
