When Eli was 19, he says that he had little to no confidence in being himself. While studying abroad, he took a Dale Carnegie Course about public speaking and self-esteem building. 

That course helped him break out of his shell and learn what it truly meant to be himself. 

 The rest, as they say, was history! 

 After working for a teen youth organization for 7 years in both the New York and West Coast area, he went to Fordham University School of Social Work where heI received his LMSW and he’s now a practicing Social Worker. 

It's his passion and life goal to help people feel happy, confident, fulfilled and powerful in their everyday life.

 Eli has gone on to create ELIvation, a program that focuses on public speaking, confidence-boosting, relationship coaching, mental health, general motivation, and inspiration, and has been featured on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
