"I connected with Talia when my business was at a time of transition and she was instrumental in helping me navigate next steps to continue growing my business. I came to Talia with a long list of areas where I felt stuck and overwhelmed, and after only a few sessions, she helped me find clarity and worked with me to outline a plan of attack that allows me to work towards my professional goals for both my company and myself.
Talia took the time to understand my business’ needs and challenges and broke them down, in an approachable way, which gave me back that sense of control I had lost in a time where I was feeling overwhelmed and overworked. She has helped me not only identify and clarify next steps for my company on a whole, but she has also helped me understand what my role should be (and could be!) as the founder as I continue to scale.
I truly value Talia’s knowledge and expertise and couldn’t recommend her more to other entrepreneurs!"

"Being an entrepreneur often feels like missing the forest for the trees. You're constantly going from one thing to the next, and it can be really easy to miss the bigger picture and larger trends that affect those day-to-day minutia. Talia is a master at clearly reframing situations and guiding you in understanding how you grow as an entrepreneur at the macro level. Her after meeting summaries allow you to check back at past sessions, and she is always flexible and diligently on time for each session. I couldn't recommend her enough!"

"I met with Talia with EI consulting and I have to say, the insights that I gleaned in our 1-hour sessions has created a ripple effect that will impact the outcome of my actions both personally and professionally. I met with Talia and she picked up on a refrain that I kept using on my challenges with leading 'out front' and exposing self/vulnerability. She asked me thoughtful questions, provided accountability through follow up and helped me to unlock/untangle my reasons for being stuck in a particular situation and with a particular mindset. Talia's methodology is effective. Entrepreneurial endeavors are inherently lonesome, doubtful and vulnerable. With Talia's experience as an entrepreneur, it is comforting to sit across the table in a serene environment and know that she gets it! It's judgement free, it's a place to be built up, it's a place to be challenged and it's a place to find accountability. Any entrepreneur, seasoned or new, would benefit from consulting with EI Consulting. If you're trying to build something that's new, different, challenging and risky...consider taking the time to partner with EI Consulting, you won't regret the investment in yourself and the success of your brand/company."

"I have a lot of ideas about my business, but as a solo entrepreneur, it quickly became overwhelming to prioritize, define the time requirements, and execute. There were critical steps needed to be taken before launching into the major growth areas I've been thinking about, and Talia helped me process everything, starting with the foundation. We reworked and defined my service offerings, which was a huge burden taken off of my plate. I now approach my consulting practice with clarity and greater confidence in my top revenue-generating offering. She's also helped me step through my mental barrier of delegating and preparing to hire a team, knowing this will ultimately help me scale my business.
Talia's awareness and sensitivities - drawn from her experience as an entrepreneur and a counselor - are what I need from an advisor. When I unload everything I'm thinking and ideating, Talia quickly dissects and helps me produce an actionable plan that feels so much more attainable than trying to do this on my own. On top of that, she keeps me accountable at a thoughtful pace. I look forward to my sessions with Talia and know she's always there to support me and my professional growth."

"I met Talia two and a half years ago at a very big transition in my life and career. Working with her has kept me afloat in ways most self-employed individuals or entrepreneurs truly need. I changed careers from essentially a trade field in media production to fully re-pursue a career in communications and community organization. Talia has been key in me gaining and maintaining confidence, something I needed, especially in times that felt incredibly daunting and arduous. Every single session I have had with Talia is productive, and her post-session summaries and action plans demonstrate how well-rounded she is as a coach, and how much she sincerely cares, listens and understands the goal and path.
My goals have never felt unachievable because we discuss and plan in strategic and purposeful ways. Every single accomplishment I have made, I have to credit my special link with her, because she has understood my path more than anyone else. Even in times when there’s a period of ‘adjustment’ in my career or life — it does not feel like a setback, rather an opportunity to reassess and then make a productive move. This mindset alone has allowed me to view life and work as adaptable and unique, vs out of control and exhausting. Talia has helped me carve a career that feels purposeful with my life, and things have aligned as I hoped.
Her sincerity and strategic point of view has helped me keep a steady-head and focus on the big picture while prioritizing goals I need to achieve. Self-accountability is a big challenge for most entrepreneurs or self-employed individuals. It’s not just her support; it’s her experience as an entrepreneur, therapist, social worker, mother — she is someone who understands the importance of creating value and purpose in career and life."
