Hi, I’m Elena!
I work with WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS to build business!
And I’m here to help women just like you live a bold life.
Living a bold life is all about making BOLD CHOICES. And I’ve made lots of them.
In my teens, I spent my time hanging out with friends and dreaming about what my life was going to look like. As far back as I can remember, I have always been a dreamer!
My first BOLD CHOICE was in my 20s. I left my small hometown to study and after 4 years I graduated with my Diploma in Performing Arts. I used that to freelance, building and delivering workshops, performing and getting my first taste of running a business as a solopreneur. Back before we even had that word.
Needing more stability at the time, I went into a secure government job in public programming and worked my way up to becoming the youngest executive team member. But it was absolutely not for me. While the pay was great and I was able to be creative in my job, It wasn’t deeply satisfying work for me and I went back to working for myself.
turning dreams into reality with BOLD CHOICES
My next BOLD CHOICE saw me take a contract and work on a national campaign traveling almost every week, managing events and logistics for the campaign with my team. It was an intense job and I learnt A LOT in a short amount of time. This job gave me the exposure to operating on a national scale, the level of organisation and the skills to execute on such a scale and in a flash the whirlwind job came to an end and it was into the next adventure.
Then an unforeseen opportunity and my next chance to make a BOLD CHOICE. I joined a powerhouse cast and travelled around the world for 4 years in an award-winning theatre show HOT BROWN HONEY promoting radical self-love, First Nations stories and voices.
Right before COVID shut down the world, I left the company and returned home to country. This is where my next BOLD CHOICES came along. I started my company QueenMode Collective and then my second business right alongside, offering business consulting. I had my first baby at the age of 36 and got engaged and renovated our first family home while business hummed in the background and I focused on doing as much as I can to be of service to the women, and the communities that I’m the most passionate about.
As you can see; I’m not scared to put me first and make BOLD CHOICES to do it.
But it was a process to get where I am today.
Finding the themes in my life has been the greatest gift I have given myself. Now I channel my life experiences and skills into mentoring incredible women like you who want to start their own small business and create the flexibility they truly desire so you can make your own BOLD CHOICE
In my teens, it was all about who I thought I was and what I thought I wanted. Chasing fame and fortune and the expectations set of me – and you – by society.
In my twenties, I started testing who I was becoming and what I wanted. I started gathering experiences and realising that this was what life was about.
I my thirties, I refined what I’d learnt more and really found clarity. It was all about celebrating and acknowledging who I really am.
Through these experiences all over the world in the past two decades, I found some themes emerged:
I am the Queen of Logistics and Organisation. I know how to create, develop and refine an action plan and make it work.
I am energised by using my creativity – whether that’s in the theatre, running a business, delivering workshops or just finding creative solutions to problems. It is the soul of my work.
I love to support First Nations people and women. This is where we can make the greatest leap forward in our community.
And that’s why I do what I do!
I deeply believe in the saying “each one, teach one” and if I can use my experience, skills and business to help someone else, it’s a no brainer for me.
I want to contribute to making the world a happier place and if through mentoring and consulting women in business, I can help alleviate financial stress, build confidence in knowledge and help you create something that brings you joy then why wouldn’t I? Individually we can all create collective change.
I am passionate about personal growth and development and am a holistic wellness advocate. Contributing to your journey would be an honour for me.
I don’t claim to know everything in business but what I do know, I want to share with you and your small business!
If you are ready to take steps towards your BOLD CHOICES….
Let’s dance our way into a great collaboration.
If you’re a woman working to make the world a better place in the First Nations, creative, socially conscious, or for purpose business space, let’s chat about how we can work together.
