Joel Berman, Architect – OAA Conference speaker
“I may be an architect by profession, but Ellen Savitsky is the one who helped me build my voice. When we first met at the OAA Annual Conference in 2017, my program was unrefined and I was operating on instinct.
Working with Ellen was truly transformative. Each year, she turned dense participant data into a masterclass of curated feedback and concrete tactics. I actually found myself looking forward to our 'post-game' debriefs—those informal chats where we’d dish on what clicked and what didn’t—nearly as much as the detailed reports that followed.
Ellen changed the game. She has a rare gift for taking cold data and turning it into a warm, practical roadmap for improvement. Her one-on-one guidance didn't just 'tweak' my style; it sharpened my impact. Because of her support, I’ve been able to take my programs across the globe—from Chicago to Nagpur, India.
Beyond her role as a consultant, Ellen acts as a secret weapon for those of us who want to lead a room with confidence and clarity, and a vital partner for associations committed to raising the bar of their educational offerings. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
