Early in her career, Elaine began honing her insights into the differences between how men and women lead and manage. She was one of Canada's first female prison guards in an all "male" maximum security correctional facility at the age of nineteen. Dealing almost entirely with men, at a time when men made it clear that they did not want women in their domain. Elaine had a "crash course" in understanding how we interact with each other and manage people, as her life virtually depended on it! She began to truly observe how women dealt with conflict, leadership and power, themes she built on in each new position in her career.
With several articles printed in industry publications and as a contributing author to Speak Up, Speak Out (a book on running a speaking and consulting business), this upcoming author and international speaker is determined to make a difference in the lives of women leaders around the world.
