Coaching for Progressive Leaders
When you are standing on the solid rock of your values, you can feel it… and so can your team.
This kind of leadership is the antidote to burnout culture and its cycle of self-doubt, overwork and exhaustion. It’s somatic- arising from your connection to your body and the land. And it opens the door to the genius and wisdom that is already inside you.
In just 9 weeks, you can level up your leadership, take back your power and (bonus) start building the culture that our descendants deserve.
Leading today can make you feel like you’re…
Disconnected from yourself and your gifts.
Overloaded and exhausted. (But unable to stop because the world is on fire.)
Always in reaction mode (but you want to pursue a vision, dammit!)
Torn between your needs, the needs of your team and the goals of your organization.
Lonely: Trapped between isolation and oversharing.
Stuck pretending to be what you are “supposed to be.”
It’s not you.
It’s the sick culture of leadership that substitutes overwork for insight, frantic pace for focus. This culture upholds colonialism and harms healthy power.
You can step out of this cycle. And it won’t just transform your life.
If you are in leadership, it will transform your team’s lives too.
You’ll find leadership easier and more effective after just 9 weeks.
My coaching program is a clear path: 9 lessons that help you build inner confidence based on your values and take the actions with clarity and integrity. Join more than 50 leaders who have made profound change (see testimonials below) with my Leadership M.A.G.I.C. program. Like them, you’ll learn to
Embody Your Values
You’ll create your unique Values Star, a somatic tool that will give you instant confidence and guidance. This tool helps you set boundaries, give and receive feedback, see new opportunities, and step out of the cycle of burnout culture. (which doesn’t just hurt you, it ruins the work.)
Make Confident Decisions
Imagine being able to handle the daily work of making decisions with a simple, in-the-moment tool that cuts through the clutter and gives you total confidence. That’s your body compass and in my 9 step journey you learn how to use it every day.
Become a Wise Guide
Your journey is unique, just like your leadership. But there is a pattern to making big change. You’ll learn my map of transformation, based on 25 years of experience and more than 100 coaching clients. With this map, you’ll have the wisdom to guide your team’s change and your organization too.
Coaching Services
I begin every coaching relationship with core leadership skills that you can use for the rest of your life, so that when our work is complete, the benefits to you have just begun. You will come away with a firm connection to your values and inner compass, increased ease in making decisions and confidence in your leadership – not because you have to be perfect but because you know who you are, how learn while holding power, do your best work and still have a life.
Bonus: these skills are also the way we stand up to burnout culture and replace it with healthy workplace culture that brings out the best in everyone.
This way of leading is a big change from what we usually see, but I assure you it’s possible.
I’ve gathered those skills into a complete program that supports you in setting a catalytic goal and making specific, transformative change while learning this way of leading. I’ve offered this program to more than 50 leaders, both as individuals pursuing personal transformation and to cohorts, making collective change. It’s called Leadership M.A.G.I.C. and includes 9 lessons in a myth-infused journey.
I currently offer two ways to work with me and Leadership M.A.G.I.C.:
A 1:1 coaching engagement that includes the Leadership M.A.G.I.C. curriculum plus 10 individual coaching sessions. This package is great for leaders in positions of high responsibility who need a customized schedule and individual support solving complex problems as they do this work. (You will both make the long-term change you want and deal with the challenges in front of you. I’ll support you with empathy, kindness and more than 20 years of experience.) Scroll down to learn more.
Fall 2025 Leadership M.A.G.I.C. Cohort. Registration is open for a new cohort program: 12 spots to take the Leadership M.A.G.I.C. journey together. The benefit of a cohort program is the power of collective witnessing and support, plus a more accessible cost. We are focusing on the epidemic of burnout in this cohort: when the world is on fire, it’s more important than ever that you are grounded, clear and able to access your creative genius. Earlybird registration for the Fall 2025 cohort is open now, with a bonus 1:1 session for those who register before August 10th.
All Leadership M.A.G.I.C. alumni have access to as-needed 1:1 coaching sessions and monthly alumni check-ins. This is a community, making magic together..
The results are profound…

“I benefitted tremendously from the coaching I received from Ella Andrews. In my estimation, Ella has command of all aspects of human management and communication; and she also understands the realities of working in a political environment. I also believe that my team is stronger, in no small part thanks to the leadership skills I developed during my time with Ella. Ella taught me how to identify and develop my own set of leadership values. As a result, I am now able to lead in a way that is authentic, fair and courageous; and that allows me to maintain my personal integrity in a political and dynamic workplace. Simply put, I am the leader I am today thanks to Ella.”
~ Jeff Muhm, Public Sector Director

“I met Ella right before the pandemic began and healthcare went into a period of unprecedented uncertainty and overwhelm. I rose quickly (probably too quickly) from an individual contributor to a senior manager in a little over a year. I found myself cosplaying as what I thought a manager was supposed to be while feeling completely disconnected from my inner self, my core values, and the reason I wanted to become a leader in the first place. Ella helped me reconnect with myself and the deep ways of knowing that I had been refusing to acknowledge or incorporate into my presence as a leader. She guided me to grow into my leadership role with confidence and resilience. I use the strategies she taught me every day.I am so grateful to Ella for her expertise, her kindness, her humor, and her fierce commitment to creating healthier work cultures by empowering leaders to bring their whole selves to work. It’s a gift I will treasure for the rest of my career.”
~ Kai Roller, Regional Manager: Primary Care Social Work, Ob/Gyn Counselors, Kaiser Permanente

“Working with Ella couldn't have come at a better time. I was relatively early in my career and felt surrounded by uncertainty. I was used to navigating that uncertainty by being who and what I thought I should be. Ella helped me realize that in the midst of uncertainty, attunement to my body and my values is a more sustainable and powerful remedy. Using Ella’s tools, I developed a vision and confidence that has equipped me to navigate the challenging realities of political work in a way that feels authentic to me. I walked away with a deep belief that if we work collectively and with integrity, we can make important changes in the world. The impact of my time with Ella has rippled far beyond my work life in important and supportive ways, and I cannot recommend her coaching enough.”
~ Clara Manahan, Public Sector Analyst
It’s never been more complicated to be in leadership…
To be compassionate and yet clear. To hold power well and allow yourself to be human. To be grounded in the midst of chaos.
I know that you can do this. I’m here to help.
I am a certified coach who has helped hundreds of leaders grow into grounded confidence. In over 30 years of experience, my clients have included local governments, congressional and legislative campaigns, elected officials, national and local non-profits and foundations. (Click here if you’d like to see a CV.) At the same time, I’ve been teaching storytelling, ritual and conscious change at earth-based spirituality retreats and in the Reclaiming tradition of witchcraft.
My unique combination of political experience and creativity, practical tools and finely honed intuition come together in my work: helping you be the leader you were born to be. Let’s talk.

Are you ready for a change?
You want to be a leader who brings out the best in your team and aligns action with purpose. In order to do that, you need clarity and confidence in your choices. But the size of the challenges we face can lead to overwork and overwhelm, disconnecting you from the very gifts, values and vision that brought you to leadership in the first place.
I’ve seen how the sick culture of leadership undermines leaders’ clarity and confidence at every turn. The irony is that the more you care, the more powerful those forces can become. This is why I became a coach and why I developed Leadership M.A.G.I.C.: a clear, practical and yet transformative program that has helped dozens of leaders regain their grounded confidence and change what’s possible for them and their teams.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
Step 1. I'll help you set a leadership goal that is aligned with your values and opens the door to your genius. (It’s okay if you don’t know your goal yet. Most of my clients start out knowing they need a change, but not exactly what. I’ve got you.)
Step 2. You’ll move toward your goal, one clear and yet profound step at a time. I’ll show you my powerful map of transformation and the nine lessons that won’t just change you, they will show you how to lead change in a new way. Every step is designed to build your connection to your values, your judgement and your clarity as a leader, from facing your blocks to somatic tools, from giving and receiving feedback to making your time work for you.
Step 3. You’ll transform your leadership as you go. You will apply each of the lessons in real time, with 1:1 coaching sessions that offer support, insight and practical guidance. I’m on your side, with empathy and experience. You’ll be amazed at the feeling of momentum and the changes that are possible for you, starting now.
You are on the cusp of a journey that will reconnect you to the grounded confidence you know you are capable of. Next step? Book a call with me. So you can stop being stuck and start being the brilliant leader you were born to be.
“The leadership coaching I received from Ella was life-changing. Ella skillfully guided me to gain clarity on and trust in my own leadership style and values instead of spending energy on my inner critic, perfectionism, and overthinking. I’m more present, a better listener, and clearer communicator thanks to the practical and engaging tools Ella uses.
Through Ella’s thoughtful guidance, I became a confident leader who supported my team through organizational growth and executive leadership transitions. And my team and I were able to move our organization out of the start-up phase and into growth while building a healthy culture of belonging and effectiveness.
