Leadership is Creative. And Creativity Lives in the Body.
I help leaders and teams drop from the head into the body, unlocking energy, insight, and embodied confidence that lasts.
Play-Based Workshops for Teams
When thinking harder stops working, it’s time to move differently. These hands-on sessions use LEGO® Serious Play™, Art Thinking, and sensory facilitation to spark creativity, collaboration, and energy in teams—creating the space to break patterns and lead in new, inspired ways.
Embodied Leadership Coaching
This is not about mindset tweaks, it’s about full-body leadership transformation. I work with leaders ready to move from performance to presence. Using somatic practice, creative tools, and serious play, we unlock grounded confidence, clarity, and energy that lasts beyond the session.
Keynotes That Shift the Room
These aren’t just talks. They’re embodied invitations to rethink leadership. I speak on embodied practice, creative process, and energy in high-performing teams. Audiences walk away not just inspired, but grounded, curious, and ready to lead from a more connected, courageous place.

Delegates moved from cynicism to wide-eyed enthusiasm and were completely engaged. Elaine has a truly innovative approach to leadership development which I have not experienced elsewhere and I believe sets a new global standard.
— Liora Gross - Programme Director and Designer in Customised Corporate Education, GIBS
With colleagues from 14 different countries, LEGO became a common language and generated ideas that may have remained unearthed in a more traditional workshop methodology. Our delegates were hugely impressed!”
