A Note from your hosts, Hope & Cynthia, The Truly Amazing Women project — It is with pleasure that we introduce you to Laurie Ellington, CEO at Zero Point Leadership, a leading-edge Integrative NeuroSomatic® based learning and development organization.
She is among the pioneers who recognize that our ability to change the world begins by harnessing the power of the connection between the heart and mind. With more than 25 years of experience in coaching, teaching, consulting, leadership, facilitation, and mind/body medicine, she is appreciated for her ability to evoke untapped capacities and eliminate outdated habits that get in the way of transformation, healing, and growth.
What she does: Laurie is co-creator of the Integrative NeuroSomatic® Self-Mastery experience. Combining ancient wisdom teachings with findings from modern neuroscience, mind-body research, stress resilience, mindfulness, and flow she helps individuals, teams and organizations elevate the way they think, feel, and show up in the world.
How she got here: Laurie completed her coach training with the College of Executive Coaching, where she became a Certified Professional Coach. She continued her coach training at the NeuroLeadership Institute, where she earned her certification in Brain-Based Coaching (BBC). Laurie also earned her Master Certified Coach credentials from the International Coach Federation and is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with expertise developing trauma-informed health and human service systems. Following her journey working in private practice as a psychotherapist, she became a change leader in systems transformation. Laurie is also a HeartMath® Certified Trainer (HMCT), where she teaches people the psychophysiology of building stress resilience to prepare for and adapt in the face of change and adversity.
That’s not all: Laurie is also on the adjunct faculty with the Office of Personnel Management’s Center for Leadership Development, where she facilitates Neuroscience of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Brain Hacking Tools for Creating Flow States of Consciousness, and Stress Resilience/Mindfulness programs for federal government leaders within various agencies across the continental US. As a Mentor Coach and Adjunct Faculty at Maryland University of Integrative Health, Laurie teaches mindfulness/meditation and health & wellness coaching courses. She is also an Associate Faculty at University of California- Davis, where she teaches brain-based leadership and resiliency courses.
Laurie says: “I believe upgrading human interactions plays a key role in shifting out of status quo to move positive change forward. Her philosophy is that change happens from the inside out versus the outside in, and people have unleashed power and creative solutions within them. My purpose in life is to expand consciousness by unlocking our capacities to self-regulate, connect deeply as a human family, heal, and embody compassion and kindness.”
