Make Your Expertise Land Where Decisions Are Made

Strategic visibility and communication for organisations whose teams need to be seen, heard and trusted by clients, stakeholders and decision-makers.

When you’re ready to strengthen how your people communicate their value — and stop momentum being lost in the gap between capability and perception.

Clarify Strategic Value

Strengthen Credibility

Improve Decision-Making Impact

It’s rarely acknowledged — but this is where momentum is being lost

  • Expertise isn’t reaching the right people, so strong teams remain under-recognised in the market.

  • Sales and growth slow because value isn’t communicated with clarity or intent.

  • Leadership capability is under-positioned, limiting trust, opportunity and investment.

The result is missed opportunity and slower growth — not because talent is lacking, but because it isn’t being positioned with intent.

Unclear visibility weakens trust, slows momentum and limits investment.

When positioning reflects reality, confidence increases — decisions move faster and impact follows.

It’s Not Capability That Holds Organisations Back — It’s How Value Is Positioned

Most senior leaders and leadership teams aren’t limited by capability — they’re limited by how clearly that value is understood beyond the rooms they already influence.

My work focuses on the core elements that determine how organisational capability is recognised, trusted and acted on:

Clarity - defining strategic value at individual, team or organisational level
Communication - articulating that value with precision and authority
Presence - signalling credibility consistently in client and stakeholder settings
Connection - ensuring expertise reaches the people who shape major decisions

When these elements align, confidence increases - and decision-makers can recognise value and act with clarity.

Client Experience:

“Elaine is amazing, insightful, and straightforward. She brought genuine expertise that had an immediate impact, reshaping our client relationships and unlocking new opportunities through clearly articulated relationship frameworks."

- Malcolm Jull, CEO of Purchase Plus

I’ve Spent 25 Years Working in Exactly These Situations.

I’m a straight-talking strategic advisor who works with organisations to bring clarity, authority and coherence to how expertise is positioned — especially when the stakes are high.

I’ve been central to national and high-value negotiations for L’Oréal, Colgate, Fiat and Ryanair, managing multi-million-euro budgets and delivering award-winning strategic solutions over more than two decades.

That experience now informs my work with leadership teams and client-facing organisations who need their capability to be clearly understood, trusted and effective where senior decisions are made.

The outcomes are consistent:

• Stronger strategic presence in client and stakeholder settings
• Clearer recognition of expertise and responsibility
• Greater confidence in high-stakes conversations and decisions

 

For over two decades, I’ve advised some of the world’s most recognisable organisations at moments that mattered.

How I Work With Organisations

I work with organisations whose teams need to communicate with more clarity, confidence and impact — client-facing, commercial and senior stakeholder settings.

This work typically involves:

speaking engagements that challenge thinking and raise the bar
practical workshops and training that strengthen how teams show up, communicate and connect
visibility projects examining what’s being said, how it’s being said, and whether it reflects real organisational capability
hands-on support with pitches, presentations and high-stakes conversations

Where I add the most value is helping teams articulate their value clearly, present with authority, and build confidence — without hiding behind generic messaging or low-effort communication.

The result is stronger presence, clearer communication and teams that are credible and taken seriously.

Proven at the Highest Stakes

I’ve been central to national and high-value negotiations for organisations including L’Oréal, Colgate, Fiat and Ryanair — where decisions carried significant commercial and reputational consequence.

When outcomes affect millions, strategic communication isn’t optional. It’s critical.
Strategic insight with commercial weight

Years of delivering award-winning solutions inside complex organisations shaped a clear understanding of how positioning, perception and influence operate when reputation, revenue and relationships are on the line.
Executive-level judgement

I bring a commercially grounded perspective informed by decades of working alongside senior leaders — now applied through advisory work with organisations operating at high stakes.
Focused, bespoke advisory

Each engagement is shaped by context, scale and consequence — whether supporting client-facing teams, leadership groups or organisations navigating critical moments.
