About Us

Founded by Elise Yanker, Organizational Development Consultant, with over 20 years experience in hospitality, service, telecommunications, technology, banking, government, military, and intelligence communities. Experienced in corporate, non-profit, operations, and business development environments.

Collaborative Consulting organizes and implements individual and organizational coaching, team building, off-site retreats, and large-scale organizational change. The work of Elise Yanker is reflective of an entirely independent operation in contrast to a large consulting firm. Her clients generally have contracted Elise exclusively. Her business has been built on referrals and repeat business. Clients seek out her services and retain them out of a respect for her high-quality deliverables, reliability, work ethic, and recognized credibility in many industries. Elise Yanker has an extensive 12-year portfolio of clients built entirely on referrals, word-of-mouth, and networking. More than 90% of Elise's clients retain her for multiple engagements.

CCI has gathered an amazing team of consultants and coaches, bringing C-Suite experience, cutting edge virtual practices, graphic recording, and wellness practitioners. Elise brings like-minded professionals together to bring clients a fresh, creative, engaging way of working. It takes a real commitment to client connection, deliverables and agility to deliver on the CCI brand.

Elise Yanker and Collaborative Consulting offer custom-designed programs with a high degree of integrity, exceptional follow-through, and sustained results. Her consulting is grounded in core behavioral studies or work, etc., conducted by psychologists such as Kurt Lewin, Karen Horney, Will Schutz, and Carl Jung. Elise's Master's degree in Organization Development was obtained at the highly regarded partnership program between American University and National Training Laboratories. Elise maintains membership in NTL and also facilitates a core component of the AU/NTL Master’s Program.
