I'm Ellen Funk

I consider myself to be a professional problem solver and expert change advocate...consultant and coach. I am dedicated to helping you and your organization achieve your boldest objectives and wildest dreams. I deliver exceptional results through leadership, strategic thinking, creativity, analytical skills, collaboration and my strong work ethic. My life’s work has been to develop a tool box of knowledge, skills and experience that will lead you and your business to life changing success.


I am a lifetime Chicagoan with degrees from 2 great Illinois Universities – U of Illinois and U of Chicago. I raised four amazing children here and have survived the special challenges of being a Cubs and Bears fan. Voracious reader. Committed sports enthusiast. Sporadic theatergoer. Aspiring golfer. Master baker.

"I would highly recommend working with Ellen! I hired her as a business consultant when I had an idea for a business and she enable me to turn that dream into the profitable enterprise I run today. Ellen provided expertise with operations, sales, staffing and finance. Her expert leadership coaching has been transformative for me. I never could have gotten to where I am today without her!"

"I started working with Ellen when I was having issues with direction and assertiveness in my career. Very quickly, she helped me create my path toward making the career change that I had wanted for years. I know I would not have landed my dream job and be thriving in it if it were not for Ellen’s guidance. She arms you with the tools to move yourself forward – self belief and the ability to reassess thoughts, dreams and ambitions. I would not hesitate to work with Ellen in the future."

"My coaching secessions with Ellen Funk over these past months have been some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Her penetrating insight, proficient listening skills, and spot-on observations and guidance, have resulted in innumerable opportunities for change, personal and professional growth, and a concrete plan of action. My only regret is that I did not know her, and her program, when I was in my 20's."
