Executive Leadership Coaching

Executive Coaching and Professional Speaking for the Northland's Businesses and Beyond

Raise the bar for yourself, your leaders, and your organization

Start Getting Results Now!

Is your team disconnected from your mission?

Do you struggle to fully engage and empower your leadership team in co-creating the future vision of your organization?

Are you wrestling with overwhelm?

Can you readily access your “Clear No’s,” check your perceptions, and manage your stress and over-responsibility with intention?

Are you frustrated with the quality of your business relationships?

  Does your leadership team and wider organization fail to communicate constructively and productively?

DEVELOP A NEW, FRESH APPROACH TO AN OLD CHALLENGE
 

Year after year, we've sat with ambitious business leaders — like you — and engaged with their struggles. We listened to them in their most difficult moments, when they felt the most lost or overwhelmed by workplace troubles. We tested and refined strategies to overcome their immediate difficulties and prepare them to resolve future challenges.


The result? An approach for personal transformation that has a powerful impact on how you show up at work. With a unique combination of group coaching and 1:1 sessions, participants walk away from our training and talks better equipped to be the leader they want to be.


From Fortune 50 companies to small business owners to healthcare workers to educators, we’ve shown Northern Minnesota executives how to overcome their limiting beliefs and achieve breakthrough results. 


We’ll customize our collaboration to not only detangle your team’s unique challenges, but get closer to accomplishing your big hairy audacious goals, too.

Go from Good to Extrodinary with Turning Life Gold

Meet Elsie

Elsie Storm, M.A., a Duluth native, is an executive coach, a personal development expert and the founder of Turning Life Gold, a Northern Minnesota-based Life and Executive Coaching firm.

Elsie is passionate about providing professional development for a new generation of leaders, helping them break through their fears and replace the limiting beliefs that hold them back. Her forward-thinking, heart-centered approach breathes vitality back into her clients and the companies they support, leading to new possibilities, increased income and greater achievement on all levels. Elsie has a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, a coaching certificate from Tony Robbins, and a client list that stretches across 11 countries (and counting). 

When not helping executives unlock their potential, you’ll find Elsie swimming on the shores of Lake Superior or skiing at Chester Bowl with her husband, Jonny, and their young daughters, Sela and Rosa.

Meet Jonny

Jonny Roman, M.A., believes in the power of coaching...and so do his clients. Every day, Jonny helps people from all walks of life — Fortune 500 executives, world class athletes, CEOs, small business owners and more — reduce stress, increase motivation, create positive accountability, and find more fulfillment. 

“I love the excitement that I see,” Jonny says, “when they connect with a new possibility for their careers, businesses, relationships, and lives.” A professional Life, Business, and Leadership Coach with two Master’s degrees and Leadership 360 training, Jonny uses a wide range of personal and professional development tools and strategies to create real, tangible results.

Though new to Minnesota, Jonny has found great joy exploring the local parks with his family, running on the lakewalk and investing in really warm clothes to help him survive Duluth winters. 

Our work is most valuable for successful leaders who want to take their impact to the next level

We believe the greatest leaders are the ones that lead by example — though easier said than done, right? That’s why our training includes individual coaching sessions to help each team member learn what’s preventing them from accessing their greatest leadership potential. 

Our Coaching Emphasizes...

"Elsie did a leadership blind spot training at our leadership retreat and it was transformational for my leaders! We laughed, we cried, we were vulnerable, and we grew as leaders. After receiving the feedback forms after the retreat, it was obvious to me that Elsie’s training was their favorite part from the retreat. Hands down, highly recommend Elsie for any company who wants to experience growth and breakthroughs!"

Elsie spoke at our inaugural Women in Leadership Conference about sustainable time management and many attendees reported that it was the most helpful breakout session of the day. Elsie not only provided tactical tips and tricks, but also listened to attendees’ individual time management struggles and provided honest feedback on areas they could improve. Many survey respondents specifically asked for her to come back next year, which is proof of her extensive knowledge and professionalism. Thank you, Elsie!
