Hellena Jones Elbling, CPCC is the owner of Core Illuminations. Her passion and mission in life is helping individuals and businesses reconnect with their values and discover what truly excites and inspires them. In doing so, people learn what it means to honor themselves. Hellena then becomes their advocate as they use these new-found discoveries to chart a clear path to their ultimate goal - to live a fulfilled and purposeful life and business.
With over 20 years’ experience working in industries such as advertising, publishing, architecture and non-profit, Hellena understands the dynamics of a strong relationship. She uses her experience to help others create a “win-win” when it comes to relationship building. In her work she has realized that the key ingredient to any solid and long lasting relationship (personal or professional) is this: One must develop and nurture the relationship they have with themselves first and their clients—because it DRIVES everything else! Areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
Personal Growth & Development: Assist clients in connecting with their CORE values, making conscious decisions and understanding saboteurs.
Work Transition: Assist clients in identifying transitional skills & developing their strongest assets.
Conflict Resolution: Help clients understand the components of a crucial conversation and how to find common ground to move past conflicts and turn them into winning strategies for both parties.
Workshop Facilitator: Utilizes the talent and expertise within the group to facilitate discussion and discovery of group/individual goals. Creates workshops to meet the needs of the client.
Job Market Reentry: Taking the strengths of a candidate and developing these skills and expertise for a new career opportunity.
Motivational Speaker: Uses storytelling and analogy to inspire others to view life through a lens of curiosity, possibility, and creativity instead of guilt, shame, or regret.

Speeches
I used to complain that my boss couldn't see my "true value" and never gave me a chance to prove I could do more than what I was doing. Sound familiar??
Well...that's because we're focusing on what our boss thinks of us instead of asking ourselves a key question - What Do I Think of Me??? How am I developing my skills? How am I taking my passion and honoring everyday - without fail? How do I stand up for my values? How do I stop feeling sorry for myself? How do I take myself off AUTOPILOT (negative talk) and replace it with TRUTH.
How to Shift my Perspective so I can Change My Future!!!
By focusing on our strengths, passions, and expertise (things we can control) we empower ourselves to use these assets to direct our energies and discover our personal values needed to thrive in any environment. Instead of going to a negative view of ourselves when something happens and allow the "autopilot" to rule our emotions, ASK "Is any of that true?" If it is, OWN It but start thinking about the opposite outcome you'd like to see instead of the one in front of you and take steps RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW to change. However, if it's NOT then what do we gain by getting so worked up??
If we don't think much of ourselves, how can we expect others too. We are the only ones who know what truly inspires us. Use that inspiration to chart the life and career you want! Take yourself off of AutoPilot with the negative talk and false assumptions and find your true purpose in life!
What's the difference from knowing who you want to be and being that person? It's all in the "doing". Talking about the person you want to become will never come to fruition unless you are ready to "be" that person - everyday rain or shine.
Becoming a Determined Individual who Values her Assets means "Nurturing what you Love so that Doors will Open". It's about embracing creativity and allowing it to guide you. It's about creating your own path for success. It's about honoring who you are to others. It's about using all your gifts.
Being a D.I.V.A. is about empowering other women to do the same!

Women's Issues
Every woman deserves to be a D.I.V.A. - A Determined Individual with Values and Assets. Actually, they already are, it's just buried underneath all the stuff we put first instead of ourselves.
When women embrace their talents, strengths, and honor their values they become women with a purpose. They become women who know their value. They become women who see challenges as opportunities for growth. They become the women they were meant to be!
My goal is to help women reclaim their true gifts to live purpose-driven lives! Through workshops and speaking engagements, women can come together and not only find support, but also experience empowerment as they use their knowledge to encourage others.
