About
Hi, I’m Elisa!
As a leadership development trainer and mental fitness coach, one of my biggest drivers is what happens after the session ends: whether people can actually use what they learned on a hard Tuesday.
One thing I’ve learned from teaching more than 1,800 high achievers and people leaders across cultures, roles, industries, and countries: when our mental and emotional resources are charged up, we experience greater clarity, focus, problem-solving, learning, and overall effectiveness.
That is why I developed the Getting Resourced Framework. It blends practical, brain-based, and movement-based strategies so that people can build the mental and emotional resources they need to navigate whatever comes their way at their best: learning, behavior change, leadership, and beyond.
I’ve taught self-leadership and people leadership skills in English and in Spanish for teams at UC Boulder’s CAS Faculty and Staff Mentorship Program, the Puerto Rico Department of Health, and at eCornell, Cornell University’s online learning unit, where I facilitate 20 courses from their leadership development certificate programs.
Because I wish everyone had access to these skills, I also offer free mental fitness and mindfulness sessions for Cornell’s Let’s Meditate program and through my Getting Resourced Recharge.

Two ways to work together
Leadership Development Training & Facilitation
ATD Master Trainer with 15+ years facilitating live virtual and in-person learning for diverse, global audiences, specializing in leadership development skills, performance, and behavior change. I deliver and adapt content in both English and Spanish, with high-engagement, interactive virtual delivery as a dedicated “guide on the side.”
Workshops and virtual retreats run in a trauma-informed, psychologically safe, and inclusive environment where participants practice brain-based and somatic strategies to build their mental and emotional resources.
Mental Fitness Training
Most efforts to create lasting change fail because they don’t address the root problem. This program does.
Mental fitness is your capacity to meet challenges with a clear, focused mind instead of being derailed by stress, negativity, or self-doubt. Backed by neuroscience, the program helps you catch the saboteur patterns undermining your performance and relationships, then build the mental muscle to interrupt them — through short daily practice and live facilitated sessions, 1:1 or in small pods.

What participants say afterward
“Brought me to a place of clarity and confidence”
Elisa masterfully guided me in defining my next steps after a major shift in my personal and professional life. Her coaching went beyond thought-provoking questions, offering structure and self-reflection exercises that brought me to a place of clarity and confidence in my decisions.
Her approach is natural and empowering, helping you uncover your own insights, needs, and deeply personal solutions. I value her wisdom, her support, and above all, her friendship.
“Guided people through emotions and expectations to help them come out more balanced and thoughtful on the other side”
I came into these workshops not knowing what to expect and feeling frazzled by a never-ending to-do list and too many demands on my time, both at work and at home. The workshops were an oasis of calm in the midst of my busy days, and Elisa was kind, positive, and validating in each of the sessions I attended.
I felt like she truly listened to what the participants said about their own experiences and used that information to help guide people through emotions and expectations to help them come out more balanced and thoughtful on the other side. The days that I had Elisa on my calendar were bright spots!
“Takeaways that I plan on implementing as part of my daily routine”
Thank you so much for the informative workshops over the last couple of weeks. I am grateful for the time and energy you poured into sharing this information and dedicating time to help contribute to our well-being.
I have a good amount of takeaways from the workshop that I plan on implementing as a part of my daily routine!
“Helped me strip away the narratives that were holding me back”
You’re amazing and make significant impact on professionals across the board. You create spaces where people feel seen, heard and valued. You lift others up and spread a light around that touches people in ways you could not imagine.
I am the women and leader I am today because of my relationship with you and the immense impact you had on me. You helped me strip away the narratives that were holding me back and allowed me to see my true self. I will be forever grateful for your mentorship, guidance and friendship.
“Your ability to connect with each participant left an indelible impression on us all”
The workshop you led was a remarkable experience! Your expertise, engaging presentation style, and ability to connect with each participant left an indelible impression on us all.
The strategies and techniques you shared will really help us manage our work-related stress and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
“Made me feel comfortable to explore the content with my own lenses”
Elisa the professor was incredible! She is knowledgeable, passionate, kind, and insightful.
I have always felt stifled by traditional schooling in the sense of feeling like I had to fit into a box. Elisa upheld the standards of the content, while allowing room for personal expression which made me feel comfortable to explore the content with my own lenses.

The Problem
Are Your Leaders Facing These Challenges?
Leaders facing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity often feel overwhelmed and unprepared, leading to confusion and frustration. This can create a toxic work environment, resulting in lack of effective communication, under-performance, disengaged teams and high turnover rates.
In a chaotic world, effective leaders must manage their own emotions and those of their teams. Without proper training, they may struggle to maintain a positive atmosphere, contributing to stress, burnout, and incivility.
Across the organization, inconsistent training leads to inconsistent skill acquisition and implementation. Particularly in times of instability and uncertainty, reliable leadership practices are critical for organizational success to effectively manage, motivate, and develop their teams. This gap can stifle team performance and innovation, exacerbating workplace challenges.
