A great teacher must first be a committed student. That certainly describes Ellen Goldhar, a world-class life coach. She leads her life in the same manner as she coaches --with passion, non-judgment, and joy. Her deep rooted desire to help others gain more clarity on their life’s purpose, live lives of happiness, and be free from self destructive thoughts and behaviors is witnessed in her gentle but fervent guidance. Her wisdom is not only from life’s experiences, but also from an internal knowing -- one that she is able to connect with, and fortunately for her clients -- to bring to her coaching sessions time after time. As a guest coach in Ellen’s group sessions, I have witnessed her mesmerizing understanding of the human spirit. Ellen Goldhar is one of those rare teachers who walks amongst us -- and will help you to set yourself free.

I have had the honour and privilege of calling Ellen Goldhar my life coach and mentor for three years. In that time, she has guided me through the manifestation and release of a relationship, the completion of my diploma in voice performance, the expansion of my career, the stabilizing of my self esteem, and the reconnection to love. She is unconditional love, patience and joy personified.
As a holistic doctor who is constantly called upon to serve others, it is an overwhelming relief to have someone like Ellen Goldhar upon whom to lean when I am depleted or out of alignment. Her wisdom, insight and ability to see past the illusion astounds me at every session. Words cannot express how infinitely grateful I am to the Creator for gifting the world with this exceptional human being. Warning: a little Ellen goes a long way!

I met Ellen in 2004 when I expressed a desire to quit one business and start another. Her coaching skills have helped me tremendously in that transition. Not only is Ellen a good listener, she could read my body language as well which made me feel understood. After every meeting I would leave feeling very good because Ellen would show me new ways to look at how I saw my things. She would challenge me on some of my thinking that had kept me in a rut so that I could move forward towards my goals and dreams. And still I would not feel judged. Sometimes Ellen would share some of her personal stories in order to illustrate her points and that openness increased the trust I have for her. Ellen also gave me names of people who might help me in my journey. I felt like she had taken a personal interest on what I wanted to do. I am now working in a business I love and attracting the kind of clients I enjoy working with. As I look back over these past years I feel such gratitude that Ellen has coached me along the way.

Ellen, all of the time we have spent talking has entirely changed my perspective, and outlook on things. I honestly can't think of a more influential person in my life, who has so thoughtfully shown me the possibilities, and made it so much fun. Your insights and guidance are so welcome to me. You have made this so easy for me! Thank you!! What a great year this is turning out to be.

When I was looking to have a motivational speaker come into my first year university career preparation course, I immediately thought of Ellen! Having worked with Ellen in the past, I knew that her stories and life lessons would be an inspiration to the students. When implementing an inaugural mentorship program this fall, I knew I had to bring Ellen back to facilitate a leadership training session. With her background in developing a successful mentorship program and her passion for coaching, I was confident that Ellen would engage the students. By sharing personal examples and facilitating exercises that the students could relate to, the training was a success! The students truly enjoyed the sessions and have been successful in implementing the ideas that Ellen taught. I always enjoy working with Ellen and know that her success is in part due to the passion that she lives by everyday.

Dear Ellen,
Thank you for your coaching sessions. They have been extremely valuable to us. Within five days after our first coaching session with you we implemented one of your ideas that brought in $6,650.00 that very day. Both my wife and I are finding your work very helpful.
- Bill Reidler, President Global Relationship Centers Inc., Spicewood , TX
The focus I have gained with Ellen's insights and guidance have led me to stand in my power and get what I want. The more clarity and love for myself she encourages me to create, the faster my life seems to flow in harmony. I am so thrilled to be finally doing what I love and accepting abundance in my life. Her skills and experience combined with her excellent intuitive sense and humour allows her to zero in on exactly what I need. I am most grateful to have her as my coach as she is a true blessing and delight to the world.

The most valuable training I have done to date. The leadership skills are invaluable and the style of coaching is directly relevant to your own experience. The coaching made me open my eyes to what is going on around me and made me more productive and involved in my work than I ever was before. I would recommend this to not only managers but all types of employees for this reason alone.

Thank you Ellen I've been putting some of the principles to work that you taught me. And they are helping. I see a difference the way others act towards me.

Ellen's strong sense of clarity, heartfelt encouragement, and her genuine support shine brightly like a beacon guiding you forward in your life. She was able to see through to the core of who I am and then guide me to realize how my choices need to be true to my 'real' self. After only one session, I was more connected and committed to a course of action that is to my higher good. Thank you Ellen!

For me, the shift from being a programmer to leading a group of programmers is very dramatic. Fortunately, I was able to work with Ellen Goldhar to help ease the transition. She helped me deal with the shift in mind set from doer to leader. Ellen also helped me improve my communication skills and my working relationship with others. With her help I have quickly become confident in my new role.
- Shawn, Manager – Edmonton, AB
It is fascinating to me that in less than 28 hours, not only have I used the lessons from my session with Ellen to coach my 19 year old through some challenging decision-making, but I have experienced the most productive day I have had in over 8 months - and it didn't feel like work!
I am not sure I even understand the principles of Ellen's coaching - however, I am putting them into practice and I am seeing what I most desire - positive results.
I would (and already have) recommend Ellen Goldhar as a personal life coach.

It has been a pleasure to know Ellen Goldhar in two distinctly different professional contexts. I can attest that the energy and the skill that she brings to any situation will make the time you spend with her both enjoyable and tremendously beneficial.
As a publisher in the Sun Media group, I met Ellen several times during executive-training programs she had developed for the company. I saw her melt resistance, establish trust and gain buy-in from everybody in the room on each occasion. If you have ever sat in such corporate training meetings, you can appreciate what kind of an accomplishment this is. Her sessions with Sun Media were some of the most useful training I received during my twenty years in newspapers.
Having recently launched my own company, I have found Ellen’s assistance in cutting through the jumble of conflicting priorities and sorting out the business and personal values most important to me to be priceless. She is a valuable business asset and personal treasure.
It is good to have Ellen Goldhar on my side. It has also been a joy to recommend Ellen to friends and colleagues and to see their lives also positively impacted.
- Greg Foster – Calgary, AB
I began meeting with Ellen to help work through some of the career question that were constantly popping up in my mind.
After working at SUN Media for three and a half years as the director of Marketing Research in the Corporate Sales office, I was actively looking forward to what may lay ahead for me. Not necessarily with the intention to move on immediately, but I wanted to make sure I was making the right decisions and getting the best experience for my professional future. When I spoke to a few colleagues casually about how a person in my position could advance, I was troubled by the answers because the options were not appealing to me personally. So, I went our HR department to try and get some help to seek some answers. It wasn’t training that I needed and it wasn’t an analysis of my capabilities so our wonderful HR department directed me to Ellen Goldhar.
Since our first meeting, I have discovered many things about myself that have created such an amazing awareness that I can more easily sort through some of the questions that come up about my future. An incredible side benefit to our meetings has been Ellen’s intuitive ability to help me self reflect and see attributes about myself that I hadn’t seen. This has not only given me great power to handle day-to-day challenges but has helped me change the way I see things in every area of my life.
Ellen has the special ability to work with all different types of personalities and people in different occupations and truly uses her skills in a way that works for each individual. Ellen is an incredible coach and a wonderful person to be around.
