Lead with grounded confidence.
When you are standing on the solid rock of your values, you can feel it… and so can your team.
My coaching helps caring leaders make decisions with confidence and integrity. That kind of grounded confidence transforms what’s possible.
Let me show you how.
Leading today can make you feel like you’re…
Stuck pretending to be what you are “supposed to be.”
Disconnected from yourself and your gifts.
Overloaded and exhausted. (But unable to stop because the world is on fire.)
Torn between your needs, the needs of your team and the goals of your organization.
Always in reaction mode.
Not allowed share your experience.
It’s not you.
It’s the sick culture of leadership that substitutes overwork for insight, frantic pace for focus. This culture upholds colonialism and harms healthy power.
You can reject this cycle. And it won’t just transform your work.
If you are in leadership, it will transform your team’s work too.
In my Leadership M.A.G.I.C program, you’ll learn how to…
Embody Your Values

“I benefitted tremendously from the coaching I received from Ella Andrews. In my estimation, Ella has command of all aspects of human management and communication; and she also understands the realities of working in a political environment. I also believe that my team is stronger, in no small part thanks to the leadership skills I developed during my time with Ella. Ella taught me how to identify and develop my own set of leadership values. As a result, I am now able to lead in a way that is authentic, fair and courageous; and that allows me to maintain my personal integrity in a political and dynamic workplace. Simply put, I am the leader I am today thanks to Ella.”

“I met Ella right before the pandemic began and healthcare went into a period of unprecedented uncertainty and overwhelm. I rose quickly (probably too quickly) from an individual contributor to a senior manager in a little over a year. I found myself cosplaying as what I thought a manager was supposed to be while feeling completely disconnected from my inner self, my core values, and the reason I wanted to become a leader in the first place. Ella helped me reconnect with myself and the deep ways of knowing that I had been refusing to acknowledge or incorporate into my presence as a leader. She guided me to grow into my leadership role with confidence and resilience. I use the strategies she taught me every day.I am so grateful to Ella for her expertise, her kindness, her humor, and her fierce commitment to creating healthier work cultures by empowering leaders to bring their whole selves to work. It’s a gift I will treasure for the rest of my career.”

“Working with Ella couldn't have come at a better time. I was relatively early in my career and felt surrounded by uncertainty. I was used to navigating that uncertainty by being who and what I thought I should be. Ella helped me realize that in the midst of uncertainty, attunement to my body and my values is a more sustainable and powerful remedy. Using Ella’s tools, I developed a vision and confidence that has equipped me to navigate the challenging realities of political work in a way that feels authentic to me. I walked away with a deep belief that if we work collectively and with integrity, we can make important changes in the world. The impact of my time with Ella has rippled far beyond my work life in important and supportive ways, and I cannot recommend her coaching enough.”
~ Clara Manahan, Community Liaison and Policy Advisor, District 4, King County Council
It’s never been more complicated to be in leadership…
To be compassionate and yet clear. To hold power well and allow yourself to be human. To be grounded in the midst of chaos.
I know that you can do this. I’m here to help.
I am a certified coach who has helped hundreds of leaders grow into grounded confidence. In over 30 years of experience, my clients have included local governments, congressional and legislative campaigns, elected officials, national and local non-profits and foundations.

Are you ready for a change?
You want to be a leader who brings out the best in your team and aligns action with purpose. In order to do that, you need clarity and confidence in your choices. But the size of the challenges we face can lead to overwork and overwhelm, disconnecting you from the very gifts, values and vision that brought you to leadership in the first place.
I’ve seen how the sick culture of leadership undermines leaders’ clarity and confidence at every turn. The irony is that the more you care, the more powerful those forces can become. This is why I became a coach and why I developed Leadership M.A.G.I.C.: a clear, practical and yet transformative program that has helped more than a hundred leaders regain their grounded confidence and change what’s possible for them and their teams.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
Step 1. I'll help you set a leadership goal that is aligned with your values and opens the door to your genius. (It’s okay if you don’t know your goal yet. Many of my clients start out knowing they need a change, but not exactly what. I’ve got you.)
Step 2. I’ll show you my powerful map of transformation and the nine lessons that won’t just change you, they will show you how to lead change in a new way. Every step is designed to build your connection to your values, your judgement and your clarity as a leader, from facing your blocks to somatic tools, from giving and receiving feedback to making your time work for you.
Step 3. I’ll help you apply the lessons in real time, with 9 1:1 coaching sessions that offer support, insight and practical guidance. I’m on your side, with empathy and experience. You’ll be amazed at the feeling of momentum and the changes that are possible for you, starting now.
You are on the cusp of a journey that will reconnect you to the grounded confidence you know you are capable of. Next step? Book a call with me. So you can stop being stuck and start being the brilliant leader you were born to be.
“The leadership coaching I received from Ella was life-changing. Ella skillfully guided me to gain clarity on and trust in my own leadership style and values instead of spending energy on my inner critic, perfectionism, and overthinking. I’m more present, a better listener, and clearer communicator thanks to the practical and engaging tools Ella uses.
Through Ella’s thoughtful guidance, I became a confident leader who supported my team through organizational growth and executive leadership transitions. And my team and I were able to move our organization out of the start-up phase and into growth while building a healthy culture of belonging and effectiveness.
