Ellie Eckhoff

SENIOR LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT & EXECUTIVE COACH

 

Companies trust me to help their people and teams learn and lead with more success and greater satisfaction. My passion lies in helping people and teams recognize and reach their potential. One client described my approach as “You listen to the best in others, even when they are not hearing it themselves. ” That makes me smile!

My expertise is building meaningful coaching relationships with clients where we work together in the coaching process as equal partners and share responsibility for its success. I coach leaders in the context of their business ensuring a focus on both individual and organizational growth.

As a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation, I commit to following best practices, while adhering to the highest level of ethics. My real-world work experience leading teams and driving results over 25 years with progressive responsibility at Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Medtronic Cardiovascular, Bard Endoscopic Technologies, and Muro Pharmaceuticals prepared me to do the work I love. Today I partner with companies in the life sciences, engineering, technology, and construction sectors that are committed to facilitating employee growth.

My commitment to mentoring and coaching people underrepresented in leadership positions is recognized by my long-term volunteer work at the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) an organization whose mission is achieving gender equity in leadership positions, facilitating career and business connections, and enabling organizations to realize the full potential of their diverse talent.
