Exceptionally Professional

Leann is an exceptionally professional leader who has a wide range of skill sets from public relations to facilitation and project management.  We have hired Leann as project manager to oversee our FoodArtNature project after having worked with her for a year on a few different projects.  Leann impressed us with her capacity to think creatively while thoroughly managing details and coordination between people.   Leann is kind, with the humility to listen and confidence to forge forward.  You just really cannot expect more or better.

Responsive and Helpful

Collaborating with Leann is an exercise in being with someone who listens well, is very detailed, and is well-organized. Her written and verbal communication approach seeks to clarify continuously, and is a hallmark of how I have learned that she manages projects from beginning to completion. Open to new ideas, and bringing new ideas, all within a practiced and comfortable hosting and event management context, Leann creates a responsive and helpful approach to everyone she works with. It is a treat to be involved in projects with Leann, whether directly hosting visitors, or planning events.

Builds Capacity and Confidence

Leann brought extensive retail experience, impactful insights, project management skills, and a caring approach to our organization when we really needed it. She was able to guide and coach our cafe management team in a way that built their capacity and confidence so they could take what they learned and extend it to new situations all on their own. It’s so refreshing to work with a consultant that in addition to their “deliverables” is contributing to the people-centred work culture that we are building.

Mentorship and professional development

I was introduced to Élann Consulting through my local Chamber of Commerce, through an informational two-part webinar on food costing for restaurants. After connecting with her for a consultation, she was able to help identify the two largest problem areas of my business: food costs and labour. We began working together on an hourly basis and I received great insights, direction and problem solving outcomes. During these initial meetings I realized that I needed more of this style of mentorship, direction and professional development and Leann was a fantastic fit. Over the past two years, we have conquered many of my business goals from food costs and labour management, to relocating and growing my restaurant. She continues to help me with succession planning, helping me to spend fewer hours working in my business to working strategically on my business for continued growth. She has given me the confidence, clear direction and support I needed to navigate these new adventures.

A Real Gift

Leann’s charisma and easy-going but yet professional disposition have been a real gift to our team. She has the ability of being able to make everyone welcome and comfortable. Her knowledge of the industry and her eyes for smaller details have been really important to us to refine our experience and services for our guests. I truly believe that any company working with Leann will discover the missing ingredients in their teams to go to the next level.

A Great Experience

Working with Elann Consulting was a great experience for our business. We leveraged the knowledge and expertise that Leann provided to help set proper standards and operating procedures for our day-to-day operations. Elann Consulting provides a variety of business services that can cover many industries and we were fortunate to have her guidance when making changes to our business. We would recommend her to anyone from a start-up business to a well run, experienced business to see where there can be opportunities to improve.

Thoughtful Encouragement and Guidance

Leann has not only been a pleasure to work with over the last several years on the startup of our charitable organization’s work in Nova Scotia, she has carried it out with excellence on communications strategy and overseeing its implementation, including the thoughtful mentoring of an intern student. As the founder of an innovative new charitable organization I have learned to count on Leann for responsive and thoughtful encouragement and guidance. Her contributions have contributed markedly to our growing success.

In Capable Hands

Leann has a robust first-hand experience of every aspect of the food, wine, and tourism industries. I’ve never felt more in capable hands with her consultation, and even when handed something outside of her wheelhouse she rises to the occasion and produces exceptional work. She has an incredible sensory palate and is passionate, personable, and kind. Her professionalism and creativity are exceptional and I will work with her at every available opportunity moving forward.
