The “Ella Effect”

I had the honour of asking Ella to speak at my workplace.  What I witnessed was something I have affectionately dubbed the magical “Ella Effect” — I watched the crowd become energized as she shared her story.  Ella is one of the best public speakers I’ve ever heard and also a one-of-a-kind star.  The audience and Ella cried, laughed and giggled together, and we all left the room feeling a bit fuller and hopeful that we too could put ourselves first.  Ella even helped ME make a promise to change by putting my mental and physical well-being first.  In this busy world, you owe it to yourself to listen to her story and make this “the year of YOU!”
