Find Your Way
No Matter What’s Arising

Coaching, immersive learning, and facilitation for navigating the edges of change.

When things are changing within and around us, and the usual ways of working no longer match the reality we're facing, get your bearings and find steadiness in the motion. Connect with clarity in the fog, and become more capable of adapting to meet the challenges of these times. 

The world as we know it is changing form. Wouldn't our ways of engaging within it be asked to shift as well?

How can we be effective within change, not just before or after, but in the thick of transition and transformation?

To meet these times, we're being invited to see, relate, and act in ways that move beyond existing frameworks, learning as we go, and noticing things before they fully take shape. To do this, we're invited to find our way differently, to wayfind.

Three Phases

Wayfinding is a practice of finding a path forward when there is no map. It helps us tune into what's actually happening, perceive more of what's hidden in plain sight, and move with what is arising.

My method is rooted in three phases, which arose through my doctoral research, in collaboration with my co-reseachers and research participants . Each phase works directly with what’s arising, your context, and lived experience, so we can engage more effectively with whatever it is we're facing.

SEEING

Notice openings and possible ways forward, sometimes through tension or resistance, or a sudden shift in perspective, and find a wider vantage point from which to see possible directions and move.

SHAPING

Work the edges between known and not-yet-known potential, negotiate the constraints of your context, and carve out more room for yourself and others to thrive, while honouring the people and place around you.

ENACTING

Put ideas into practice, make the path by walking it. Learn to focus your attention where it's needed, tune into feedback you might otherwise miss, and discern what to trust and when to act. 

  • "I've had the pleasure of connecting with Elsa across both educational and therapeutic spaces. In all our interactions, I come away with my thinking enlivened, my perspective expanded, and a renewed sense of clarity and possibility. Whenever I’ve felt stuck or lost, a session with Elsa leaves me feeling more grounded in what matters and energised to move forward. She has an extraordinary gift for creating spaces that spark curiosity and allow meaningful insight to emerge."

    — Cheryl Milton

  • “More than 24 hours later I am still finding those places I have ventured in the world.  With a sense of explorative adventure,  I returned to places I've been to pick up what I need.  I realised over the 2 mornings that the place I am supports me and together with create a little ecosystem of our own. That's my sense of it and knowing that provides a greater sense of experiences and interactions.  I loved this deep dive that guided me through a curiosity and intrigue about places that I have previously brushed over. The places have their own personality and I can sense that now. The notion that the land is stretching me feels alive.”

    — Austin Stewart

About Elsa

I move between the roles of coach, guide, and facilitator. Across each of these roles, I'm moved by a boundless desire to learn, to peel back the layers and reveal critical forces that have been hidden from sight, and to understand how each of us can find our way within our own unique context.

My approach is rooted in processwork (process-oriented psychology), wayfinding, complexity science, phenomenology. I draw upon 15 years working with leadership teams in corporate, small-business, and network settings, as a coach with clients one to one, and as a consultant and facilitator. Whatever role I'm in, my approach considers context and works across scales, drawing on the systemic, the relational, and the personal.

FOR EVERYONE

Aligning with the Moment

Aligning with the Moment is a free, live interactive session for the moments you feel stuck or unsure how to proceed. Maybe it's a project that's stalled, a decision you can't quite make, or a sense that your usual way of approaching things won't carry you through what's next. This session works with what's already present: resistance, hesitation, or openings, to help you notice additional information and explores ways of engaging and getting beneath what's happening to access new perspectives so you can leave with a clearer sense of how to move forward.

WAYFINDING HELPS YOU

  • See more of the variables in play.

    Learn how to read the whole field — simultaneously tracking what’s happening inside yourself, arising through your relationships and what’s shifting in your environment, along with the invisible variables like emotional undercurrents, unspoken power dynamics, cultural patterns, and emerging possibilities.

  • Get more effective results.

    Act from the intersection of inner knowing and outer reality. Learn to adapt according to the inputs you’re receiving moment by moment. Cultivate your discernment so you can act from a place of integrity and attunement to the ripple effects of your actions.

  • Free Yourself from Cycles of Reactivity.

    Seeking the gaps and cracks in habitual ways of engaging to help you break out of areas where you are stuck (at conscious and unconscious levels) and make room for new patterns to emerge.

  • Align with the moment.

    Orient from what’s real right now, rather than relying solely on old patterns or imposed models. Translate the ineffable into the actionable, turning what is ephemeral, philosophical, or intuitive into clear, usable, and impactful action.
