I am a women's career and personal success coach, writer, TEDx and keynote speaker, and leadership developer dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide. My career consulting firm, Ellia Communications, offers a wide array of assessments, resources, videos, courses and training programs to help women "dig deep, discover their true self, and illuminate the world with it." In my work and writing, I draw on my former experience as a corporate executive and trained marriage and family therapist, as well as my 11 years of coaching to help professionals break through their current limitations and challenges to build more impactful, rewarding and meaningful lives and work. Along with contributing to Forbes.com, I write on Huffington Post, LinkedIn, and my own blog at kathycaprino.com. My book Breakdown, Breakthrough and my TEDx talk "Time To Brave Up" share what I believe are critical steps to rise up, speak up and stand up boldly for yourself, and transform your life.
