THE ELEVATION APPROACH

Make room for your dreams and revolutionize how you manage your time and energy using this innovative framework for finding work-life harmony from an accomplished entrepreneur and business strategist.

Tina Wells has always found a way to get things done, even without a roadmap to guide her. At sixteen, she turned a gig writing product reviews into a business that later became an award-winning, multimillion-dollar marketing agency. As the go-to expert on youth marketing, she pitched companies like Apple, Sony, and Proctor & Gamble, often as one of the youngest and sometime only black woman in the room. Outside of the office, she said yes to many exciting opportunities, landing a career-changing feature in O Magazine, teaching entrepreneurship classes at a Wharton School program for teens, and accepting membership invitations to boards whose other members didn't look like her. But behind the scenes of these accomplishments, she felt depleted, exhausted, and burnt out. Saddled with projects that didn't always feel rewarding and questioning her next move, she needed a new way to figure out how to reallocate her time and energy to the things that mattered most to her.

Tina found her solution by developing THE ELEVATION APPROACH, a four-phase plan that helped her create work-life harmony. Instead of treating work and life as separate and opposing forces and pitting one against the other, she learned how integrating your personal and professional ambitions, values, and responsibilities can help you achieve any goal without sacrifice:
- Preparation: Ask the right questions, get curious about the possibilities, and figure out what you have, what you need, and what you can give.
- Inspiration: Expand your beliefs of what's possible - create spaces for mind-wandering, relearn how to pay attention, and collect creative sparks.
- Recreation: Hit reset, make room for rest and play, and when something isn't working, give yourself permission to try something new.
- Transformation: Evaluate the work that you've done, decide whether to stay the course, and celebrate the changes and goals you've accomplished.

Whether you want to start a new business, find time for a new hobby, or reevaluate a relationship, THE ELEVATION APPROACH can help you make impactful shifts and realize your most cherished dreams - without losing sight of what matters most to you.
