For more than twenty-five years, first alongside survivors of emotional abuse and now with organizations, schools, and communities, Elana has helped people recognize toxic language and build cultures of care in its place, speaking, teaching, facilitating, and consulting, in person or online.
Each of these areas grew out of decades of work in the field, alongside NGOs, activists, and people building change on the ground.
Recognizing, naming, and resisting the manipulative language that has become normalized in our politics, media, and daily life.
Building dialogue, shared humanity, and a language of peace across the Israeli and Palestinian divide, drawn from Elana's work with women on both sides.
Understanding how abuse works, and helping communities and institutions recognize it and respond with integrity.
Religious radicalism, women's rights, and the forces that render women silent and invisible.
Gender bias in education, and building more equitable schools and communal spaces.
Compelling, example-rich talks for conferences, campuses, and community events.
Hands-on sessions where people learn to recognize and name toxic tactics as they happen, in the media, in schools, and in communities. Half-day or full-day.
The same work, online and open to anyone, in a single session or a short series.
One-on-one and small-group work for leaders and teams navigating difficult dynamics and culture change.
Facilitating vision, mission, and strategic-planning processes for organizations, especially feminist and mission-driven ones, helping teams find focus and reach their goals.
Position papers, proposals, reports, and strategic messaging for NGOs and women's-rights organizations, turning ideas into the documents that move money, policy, and people.
“Elana facilitated the Strategic Planning process of Forum 1325, an initiative I founded to bring women around the table in peace negotiations. I am impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. She kept us focused and helped us achieve our important goals.”
“Elana coached me in my dissertation work on Israel education. Her insights and comments have been invaluable — and she encouraged me with positivity along the way. I really appreciated that!”
“Elana is a powerhouse with many amazing gifts and talents. We have collaborated on a range of important projects, and it has been a privilege and a pleasure. I'm proud to call her a colleague and a friend.”
For talks, workshops, webinars, coaching, or consulting, in person or online, Elana would love to hear what you're working on.
