You’re great at what you do.

So why does it feel like no one’s noticing?

You’ve delivered results, led projects and managed chaos.
You’ve survived restructures and made yourself indispensable.

  • Maybe your contract’s ending and your inbox is quiet.

  • Maybe the promotion went to someone louder.

  • Or maybe you’re looking at yet another ‘We regret to inform you’ email and thinking: What am I doing wrong?

Here’s the truth: it’s not your ability, it’s your clarity.
If you can’t quickly and confidently explain what makes you distinct, the people with the power to hire or promote you won’t see it either.

And in this market in which redundancies are accelerating and contractors are being cut first, waiting to be noticed isn’t a strategy.

Hi, I’m Dr Elisha Foust

Check Out My Services

I’m glad you’re here. I am passionate about one thing: enabling women and LGBTQI+ to work in a way that works for them NOW.

What do I mean by that? My 20 years in corporate taught me that leadership tends to nurture those who look like themselves, who come from similar backgrounds, who share the same sexuality and ethnic background.

Those of us who don’t fit that mould are often left out.

AND the way we work has now changed. More of us will turn to fractional roles, contracting and project based work going forward. Even more are looking for promotions in companies that have no ladder left.

I’m here to fill that gap. My clients come to me for a few reasons, but the main one?

They’ve lost confidence.

I help to restore confidence because I know that confidence is a skill, not something your born with.

Recently, I’ve worked with clients to:

  • Secure the next contract.

  • Find the next full time role.

  • Set up a new consultancy.

I also operate differently from other coaches:

I know you don’t need another course, certificate or ‘productivity hack.’ You need to stop spinning your wheels and start being seen as the person who actually knows what they’re doing. Right now, you’re smart, qualified and working your arse off, but still invisible when it comes to the big opportunities. What you need is authority.

This is why I work with my clients weekly. We identify the goal and then build momentum together.

I’ve spent 20+ years in the trenches leading teams, fixing crises, being the one execs call when everything’s gone sideways. Now I coach you on how to show up with authority. No jargon, no bs. We awaken your sharp thinking, clear strategy, and the kind of confidence that gets you hired.

What is the Differentiator?

It’s a 120-minute power session where we find the story only you can tell.

You’ll leave knowing:

  • What makes you distinct and hirable right now

  • How to communicate your value in language that lands with leaders

  • What to say in networking chats, interviews or client pitches, so people remember you

Flowchart titled '120-minute journey' illustrating four steps: Discover, Define, Differentiate, Deliver. Each step includes a brief description: 'Understand your audience,' 'Frame their problems and challenges,' 'Explore your solutions,' and 'Deliver your Impact Statement.'

In two hours, you’ll go from ‘I don’t know how to talk about what I do’ → to “I can’t wait to tell them why I’m different.’

Case Study

Quote in pink text on a black background that says, 'I finally know how to explain what I do, and it lands.'

Before:
You’re unsure how to stand out. You downplay your strengths, and every interview or promotion conversation feels like guesswork.

After:
You talk about your work with calm confidence. You understand what makes you different, and how to make others see it too.

You’re not just employable. You’re in demand.

Case study: D’s contract was ending, and she told me, ‘Anyone could do what I do.’
After 120 minutes together, she knew exactly what made her unique to C-suite leadership.
She walked into her next networking event with a new story and landed her next contract the following week.”

Yes. Because The Differentiator isn’t theory.
It’s built for real professionals, in real transitions, facing real market pressure.

FAQs

Do I really need a sales story? I’m not in sales.

Yes. Everyone sells themselves: ideas, solutions and impact. You never know which leader or client is carrying the problem you solve.

I’m a full-time employee — why should I do this now?

Because restructures are happening across every industry. Knowing how to articulate your value can be the reason you’re chosen to stay or tapped for something new.

How will this help me land my next job?

You’ll learn to decode what interviewers care about and answer with clarity. The Differentiator becomes your interview prep bible: a toolkit of your story that positions you as the solution.

Don’t wait for your next opportunity to vanish.
