"Ellen is a brilliant teacher. Every time I meet with her, I’m amazed by her ability to pinpoint what I need to work on to take my pilot to the next level. Her insights and feedback make me excited to get back to work. Honestly, it’s hard for me to contain my enthusiasm for her work into just a few sentences – but if you take her workshop or consult with her, you’ll know exactly what I mean! "
