Emna Ouali

As a certified professional coach and enterprise agile coach, I support leaders, managers, and teams in driving sustainable transformation across industries and cultures. With 15+ years of experience, I bring an integrative approach that blends agile frameworks, systems thinking, neuroscience, positive psychology, sociology, and collective intelligence.

I help organizations surface implicit team dynamics, assess their maturity, and design tailored strategies to foster collaboration, performance, and meaningful impact. I’ve worked with clients in the tech, retail, and public sectors — including scale-ups and organizations navigating crisis or restructuring.

My coaching and facilitation style is grounded, pragmatic, and focused on real-life challenges. I create safe spaces for reflection and experimentation, while making complex concepts accessible and actionable. I strongly believe in embodied agility — an agility that embraces tension, context, and human complexity.

As a speaker, I share case-based insights, tools to align strategy with action, and systemic lenses to better understand organizational behavior. My sessions are designed to spark awareness and equip participants with ideas they can implement immediately.

I’m particularly passionate about helping leaders “connect the dots” between strategic intent and collective execution — and about enabling teams to grow through clarity, ownership, and trust.

Elle Younker

Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.

I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.

I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.
