Elaine began honing her insights into the differences between how we work, lead and succeed early in her career. She was one of Canada ‘s first female prison guards in an all -male-maximum security prison at the age of nineteen. Elaine had a crash course in understanding how we interact with each other and achieve, as her life virtually depended on it! She began to truly observe how we each dealt with conflict, leadership and power as we strive to make a difference in our work and personal lives.
