Want to pick my brain? Buy me a coffee.
Got one quick question about leading people, building a team, or a conversation you keep putting off? Grab 30 minutes with me. Instead of an invoice, send a small thank you from a local Evanston shop or a nonprofit doing good work. Anything $50 and under, and you choose.
How it works
Three easy steps. No awkward money talk.
Grab a time
Book a 30 minute virtual coffee on my calendar. Bring one real question. We'll get to the heart of it fast.
Pick a thank you
Choose anything below at $50 or less: coffee, a book, a candle, a craft kit, or swag from a nonprofit. Pick what makes you smile.
Send it my way
Digital gift cards can go straight to my inbox. For anything that ships, email me and I'll send a mailing address.
Thank-you ideas, $50 and under
Local Evanston favorites, craft kits for the things I love making (felting, stitching, painting, sketching, clay), and nonprofits doing work I believe in. Pick Nonprofit swag to browse by cause.
Ready to go deeper?
When one question turns into something bigger, one-on-one coaching starts at $300 a session, and every engagement starts with a free intro call. Bringing it back to your team? Let's talk about that too.

Totally fine. You can send a coffee's worth on Venmo to @maryellen, any amount you like.
Whatever you choose, thank you. Supporting a local shop or a nonprofit is my favorite kind of payment.
