INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS:
Ella has been coaching me for years, and I can honestly say she has impacted my life in a transformative way. She has this knack for honing in on the precise source of the issue and clearing away all the confusion that seems to be covering it up. Once identifying the issue, she helps you create a realistic and effective game plan and strategy for changing the behavior that created the issue in the first place. She comes up with great ideas for implementing changes.
But the key to Ella’s special gift is how she follows up with you on progress. She is the most patient person I have ever met, and yet she calls you out on all the ways you try to trick yourself into thinking you are doing the work when you are really finding excuses. I never feel embarrassed or judged when dealing with Ella. She simply reminds me of who I want to be and what I want to accomplish, and guides me how to get there, gently.
Some of the issues we have worked on have included budgeting, weight loss, unhealthy relationships (men and girlfriends), dealing with my family stuff effectively, and overall inner peace. I cannot recommend Ella highly enough. I am grateful for having met her and the opportunity to work with her as I feel my life has significantly improved and I am much happier now.

100% commitment and tireless dedication are the two main attributes that Ella Kagan brings to every client. Having worked with Ella over the past year and a half, I can say that she has time and time again demonstrated these two qualities. Her commitment is keenly focused on helping me set up realistic goals, and more importantly, keeping me 100% accountable in seeing them through to the end. Her sharp mind and bottomless compassion make her a top coach in her field. If you are looking for a life coach – I could not think of a better choice than Ella.

KAGAN COACHING has helped push my personal and professional life to a whole different level. Ella has helped me create concrete goals and put tasks that seemed overwhelming into pieces that are manageable in my daily life. For example, my non-profit has received national coverage from papers such as Star Magazine, National Enquirer and Jewish Week as a result of our work together.
In addition to our professional work, Ella has helped me manage my greatest difficulty in life, my mouth. She has helped teach me that the best approach is not always about winning the fight, but about strategy and responsiveness to win the game.
I would highly recommend using KAGAN COACHING services to anyone who wants breakthroughs in their personal or professional life.

Ella's insights are on target! I've gained greater awareness and deeper clarity with each session of coaching. With Ella's guidance, I've been able to crystalize my goals and define specific steps to achieve them. Her unique blend of psychology and spirituality is insightful and refreshing!

I originally contacted Ella because I wanted to achieve some professional goals. Her warmth, intelligence, insight, and encouragement assisted me in attaining many of these goals and in becoming a
more productive person in general. Furthermore, she has a profound understanding of human nature and psychology and helped me tremendously in my personal relationships. In fact, I met and married my husband within a year of working with Ella! Ella's firm yet incredibly supportive approach continues to inspire
and challenge me to become greater in all aspects of my life.

This past year I have grown so much with the help of my life coach, Ella Kagan. Ella has helped me gain confidence both in my professional and personal life. Sometimes, when I am met with a challenge, I hear Ella's voice inside me saying, "Go for it!"!
Ella is always a phone call away and makes time for her clients. That's just her nature. She likes helping people and she gets results. Thank you Ella, from the bottom of my heart.

Coaching with Ella isn't about "cheerleading" you on with a proverbial "slap on the hand" when you digress from your goals...Ella coaches in the true sense of integrity as she helps you discover and identify your own obstacles, then steering you in the direction to discover the way through - ultimately launching you to an entirely new level of self-awareness. It’s been life-affirming! Thank you!

One of the things I have appreciated most about Ella's coaching is that she knows when to 'push' and when to support. She is very clear in her ability to see what's going on with me, and identifying ways to help me move forward to the next level. And since I began working with her, I am booking much more acting work!

ORGANIZATIONAL WORKSHOPS:
As the co-founders and executive directors of a not-for-profit that focuses primarily on teaching leadership skills, responsibility and team-building to inner city teens, we turned to Ella Kagan as both consultant for the Board and coach for our mentors that worked individually with the teens.
Because we could never be sure of what the next moment would bring, we really needed someone versatile and quick on her feet to handle the constant unpredictability and ever-changing needs of the teens and, subsequently, their mentors. As the mentor coach - and ultimately the overall coach to the entire program during our pilot year - Ella was a fearless leader, a guide, a calm oasis in an often tumultuous journey and a safe, accountable and motivating coach to whom we all turned and confided. She always had the mentors playing their biggest games; consistently accomplishing huge results with the teens and even in their own lives.
She was a pleasure to have in our organization. Without a doubt, she will provide a priceless service to any individual or group that seeks to better themselves spiritually, emotionally, financially or socially. Ella is amazing in that she can capture and even uncover your greatness momentarily. She will just as quickly show you how to recognize it in yourself, share it with others, and take leaps and bounds in your personal growth.
Truly inspired,
Geraldine & Israel Bien
Executive Directors and co-Founders of Dreams In Growth, NYC

Eight years ago when my wife and I met Ella Kagan, it was clear to us that she possessed rare insight and passion for learning. Over the last many years she has developed her great natural talents to become an exceptionally helpful life coach. With warmth, strength, and conviction in every person’s G-d given ability to be great, she helps people to question and go beyond their perceived limitations. She is an effective coach who cares about people, wants their success, and has wisdom to assist people in opening up to the great gift and opportunity of their life. While being open to learning from many sources, Ella is committed to grounding her teaching and insights in a Torah framework. My wife has personally gained tremendously from Ella’s coaching and so have many, many participants at Aish HaTorah New York, where Ella has taught numerous workshops.
