Why Ellen Built Eunice

After supporting hundreds of professionals through major career transitions—and witnessing how traditional career advice falls short in today's market — Ellen founded Eunice to bridge the gap between who people really are and how they show up professionally.

Her approach combines:

  • Strategic Thinking honed across marketing, recruiting and operations leadership roles

  • Human Psychology insights from I/O Psychology advanced education and on going training

  • Technology Integration that enhances — not replaces — human judgment

The Story Behind the Name

The name "Eunice" comes from the word "Youness.” The term Ellen coined to describe the unique combination of skills, values, and voice that makes each of us uniquely us.

‘Youness’ is your personal plus professional fingerprint.

But everyone misheard it as "Eunice.” When it came time to name the company… it stuck.

This story captures the heart of our brand:

  • People-focused but built for impact

  • Quirky, real, and based in a deeper mission

  • Grounded in experience spanning economic collapse, tech upheaval, and hybrid work reinventions

This consulting company isn't here to "optimize" people for the existing (and broken) market. It is here to guide individuals through it as themselves. With the confidence, tools, and strategy needed to reach their goals.

“Youness” is more than the inspiration for our name. It is the core foundation. And it’s why we do things differently.

How We Work

  • We imagine a world where individuals and organizations are equipped to thrive through change—not just survive it.

    In that future:

    • Work systems are designed around people

    • AI is used to enable clarity and customization

    • Professional success is built on confidence, adaptability, and authenticity.

    Eunice exists to help shape that future—starting with how you respond to what's happening right now.

  • We don’t deliver (only) advice. We build strategic systems with our clients—designed to grow and adapt with them.

    We integrate:

    • Change Management as the foundation

    • Human insight as the compass

    • AI integration as the operations layer

    Our work is:

    • Customized, but repeatable

    • Structured, but responsive

    • Strategic, but emotionally intelligent

  • 1. Start with Discovery

    Every engagement begins with getting clear on the human behind the request—their goals, energy, and constraints.

    2. Translate the Goal

    We work backwards from success—defining what needs to change, what’s missing, and what we’re building first.

    3. Design for Adaptability

    Our deliverables are built to grow with the client—not trap them in dependency. Tools, not templates.

    4. Build with Both Brains

    We co-create systems, content, and strategies using both human and AI input. That’s how we scale clarity, not confusion.

    5. Leave Clients Stronger

    Whether we work together for two hours or two months, our goal is always that clients leave feeling clear, capable, and confident.
