HEY! I’M ELLE HART
I am passionate about providing support to enable others to overcome their feelings of powerlessness.
I’ve created a Self-Intelligence framework so individuals can understand, accept, and embrace themselves and have a clear direction for their lives.
It’s my goal to teach people how they can feel empowered every day.
“You’ll never make it on your own.”
That’s the message I was told for years.
My husband and children had been my life. I had never worked outside the home, and I felt like I had no hireable skills. It was painful to admit, but maybe I couldn’t make it on my own.
I was determined that somehow I would become someone I could depend on, not only financially, but emotionally. I was desperate to prove myself.
As a newly empty-nester divorcee, I found myself living alone and unsure of the future.
I had no choice but to step into my own identity.
That’s when I found the one thing that showed me who I am.
The one thing that helped me find my passion and create success.
The one thing that brought satisfaction and joy back into my life.
As simple as it is profound, that one thing was learning to build Self-Intelligence.
STOP FEELING POWERLESS
ARE YOU HEADED WHERE YOU WANT TO BE GOING?
It is my hope that you will never feel as lost and powerless as I did.
When I began to understand myself, my life changed.
I stopped putting expectations on myself. I began to accept myself, love myself, and enjoy life more.
Life, love, and running my business all became more manageable because I learned how I do things best is different than how other people operate.
And I was free from the idea that I had to be all things to all people.
I now call this understanding Self-Intelligence.
When you have Self-Intelligence you discover and embrace your strengths so you can lead a more fulfilling life.
YOUR GREATEST STRENGTHS ARE THE COMPASS THAT POINTS TO YOUR BEST FUTURE
Self-Intelligence is a process I created that uses my Emotional Intelligence training with a foundation of the CliftonSrengths Assessment.
This is a powerful combination that fuels understanding of yourself so you can minimize disappointments, appreciate yourself and others more deeply, and feel more confident in moving forward in the direction that is best for you.
I promise you don’t have to change who you are to change your life. You just need to understand who you are.
Simple is not always easy but working with me is both.
READY TO GET DIRECTIONS TO YOUR BEST LIFE?
FEEL EMPOWERED EVERY DAY
Although my personal story is common, many are surprised by it
Due to my family situation, I had to grow up fast even though independence was not encouraged. While I appeared confident because I was outgoing, I was anything but self-assured. I struggled with not having a strong sense of self and often relied on others’ opinions and validations to determine my decisions.
The struggle led to many challenges in my adult years including morphing myself into my family. I married young and was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years raising 3 boys until my whole world turned upside down.
MY PIVOTAL MOMENT
Time and resentment caught up to us and we ended up divorcing the same year we were approaching empty nesting. I knew I would never heal if I didn’t make a change, so I sold most of my belongings, packed up what was left, and moved across the country to a place I knew no one and had no connections. This was the hardest and scariest thing I’ve ever done, but it led me to find the path that allowed me to grow as an individual
WHERE I AM TODAY
I landed a job at a middle school and it reminded me of my teen years. Back then I knew I wanted to pursue a career helping teens and their families, but I let my high school counselor talk me out of it.
During my time working in the middle school, I tapped into my natural abilities (which I now know as my Strengths) to offer students the kind of guidance they may not be used to receiving.
I’ve learned to connect with others based on who I really am. Now, I am in a healthy and respectful relationship and have authentic bonds with my adult sons.
My passion-built business is based on my strengths and gifts. My natural need to teach combined with my entrepreneurial spirit has led me to follow my heart at last.
And now I get to help people just like you feel empowered every day!
