Able to verbalize quite distinctly, the eclectus can also mimic mood and tone of voice.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen loves to entertain audiences as well and started in her family\u2019s living room around the age of five, imitating popular comics she saw on television. For her, getting laughs was getting love.<\/p>\n<p>She studied Creative Drama (a pre-cursor to Improv) at the local civic theatre during grade school and middle school, performing minor roles in plays and musicals. Back then, fat girls with big noses and limp locks weren\u2019t encouraged to go out for the lead in the senior play or to major in the Dramatic Arts in college. Having been selected at age 8 to enter \u201cOpportunity School\u201d for gifted children, she focused on academic endeavors instead.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen has been addressing audiences much of her professional life. \u00a0She has\u00a0lectured about the mind at universities around the country, consulted\u00a0with technology companies in Silicon Valley, taught\u00a0SoCal service and health-related organizations about hypnosis, and performed stand-up in clubs and parties around Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>As an avid edutainer Ellen\u00a0now combines her love of education and comedy as a motivational speaker. \u00a0Her mission is to empower others to overcome the #1 cause of their unfulfilled potential, self-sabotage, an affliction she has battled since childhood. \u00a0By shining light on the self-saboteur in all of us, she first reveals\u00a0its\u00a0paradoxical nature\u00a0as both\u00a0insidious and yet\u00a0\u00a0protective of the individual&#8217;s well-being;\u00a0and then offers strategies to rein it in\u00a0and win it over to the side of self-love and self-actualization.<\/p>\n<h1 class='title'><span>Have a Question or Concern?<\/span><\/h1>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f2400-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"2400\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/272#wpcf7-f2400-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"2400\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f2400-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<div class=\"booknow-form\">\n\t<p><label> Name <span> * <\/span> <\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"text-205\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"text-205\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><label> Telephone No <span> * <\/span> <\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"tel-no\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-tel\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"tel\" name=\"tel-no\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><label>Email <span> * <\/span> <\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><span id=\"prefix\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap prefix-wrap\" style=\"display:none !important; visibility:hidden !important;\"><label for=\"prefix\" class=\"hp-message\">Please put in your preferred prefix.<\/label><input id=\"prefix\"  class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text prefix\" type=\"text\" name=\"prefix\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"new-password\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><label>Message <span> * <\/span><\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><label><\/label><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"phone-consult-yes\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-checkbox\"><span class=\"wpcf7-list-item first last\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"phone-consult-yes[]\" value=\"I&#039;m interested in a free 30 minute phone consultation.\" \/><span class=\"wpcf7-list-item-label\">I&#039;m interested in a free 30 minute phone consultation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The eclectus parrot, one of the most talkative birds in the world, loves to entertain an audience.
