Why the EJ Idea Lab.
A Message from Elyssa
Let’s be real: change isn’t slowing down.
The pace of disruption is nonstop—fueled by everything from pandemics to politics to the planet. As the world shifted in 2020, I was deep in it—working as a transformation exec at a top-tier consulting firm, helping big organizations make sense of the chaos and reimagine what’s next.
But here’s what really stuck with me: the future doesn’t just belong to the biggest players. It belongs to the bold ones. Small businesses, nonprofits, creative founders—you are the ones with the heart, agility, and mission to actually make change happen.
The problem? When you’re running a purpose-driven org (or three), carving out time to think big and build solid systems can feel impossible. But without that foundation, even the best ideas struggle to take off.
That’s why I launched The EJ Idea Lab—to bring high-impact strategy, creative tools, and real support to the people and organizations who are out here trying to build a better world. We help you find clarity, stay grounded, and take action in a way that feels right—for your mission, your vision, and your life.
Common Questions.
How is pricing determined?
We work with you to arrive at a realistic cost structure during our pre-project discussions. Pricing factors include your organization’s budget, project scope, services, staffing & other resources, and project duration.
What is the client-consultant relationship during projects?
Our clients are more than just a function to our business. To help you achieve sustainable success, we build quality connections, work within your company culture and values, and bring our own culture of humility, curiosity, and accountability to each of our projects.
How do you report and maintain accountability for deliverables and results?
We use project management best practices. During the planning and startup process, we’ll define deliverables, results, and reporting benchmarks. We’ll also work with you to set a regular (usually weekly) progress update, operating with full transparency at all times.
Do you work in-person or remotely?
We typically conduct our projects remotely, but we also value the ability to collaborate in-person. If you are interested, we are happy to be on site for key project moments.
