Vision 2021

Colene Elridge, aka Coach Colene is an internationally acclaimed Life + Leadership Coach, author, and speaker. A transformative HR professional, Colene re-designed and ran a nationally recognized leadership development program that helped individuals gain the skills needed to advance their careers with astounding success. Her book Monday Morning Pep Talks was named as a top book for professional women by Success Magazine.

Colene’s decade-plus of HR experience led to her being known as “the fixer”-the one called to help organizations and leaders get back on track using her talents and passion to create better workplaces, better teams, and better results.

As effective and skilled as Colene was in HR, she found that she was in need of her own advice when she found out that a male co-worker made significantly more money than she did…

$33,000 more to be exact.

She realized she was not as upset by the money, but rather the recognition that she hadn’t advocated for herself.

She hadn’t created professional boundaries.

She had become a dependable resource for her employer but hadn’t taken stock of her most important resource...herself.

Everything changed that day, and her mission became clear…know your worth and give women the tools they need to have success at work and life.

She's spent the last six years coaching women on leadership, mindset, and success, as well as working with corporate clients such as Toyota, Walgreens, Galls and Alltech to help them create stronger leaders, decrease turnover and develop the soft-skills to improve efficiency.
