It's simple. 

Ella is Entertaining. 

It’s human nature to be intrigued by Ella’s story- that’s normal, she understands that. However, you need more than a good story to establish a well-known speaking career at the young age of twenty-six.

​

Yes, Ella's story alone is fascinating.
But the way she tells it on stage…


it’s remarkable.

A handful of places Ella has spoke for or been featured in:

TESTIMONIALS

​

"I laughed so hard I snorted. We love her!!"

-Katie, MSUM Student

Why humor?

Ella explains how she discovered her message, "laughter is an emotional superpower".

KEYNOTE

Entering the tenth grade, Ella suffered a traumatic brain injury and forgot her life.  At 16, she was learning the world around her as if she was six months old. She had to re-learn her ABC's, she had to learn to add and subtract again, she didn't even know her own family. As she and her wonderful family worked through the process of re-learning... Ella lived in a tent that was pitched in her bedroom; enough room to move around and for her to feel safe. Every time she woke, she saw the note on her tent wall that said,

"The blonde woman is your mother... and she loves you very much."  

 

We don’t recognize how much information we’ve learned and stored over the years. You know, the little things that have become second nature to us. Green means go, red means stop. What foods should be hot and what foods should be cold. Water coming from the sky is normal, get an umbrella (just one of millions of inventions you’ve learned about and stored in your brain).

 

At 15, Ella didn’t know any of this. Can you imagine forgetting all basic knowledge? What would life be like if you viewed the world without a pre-existing mindset or experiences? Or having your “first” everything as a teenager?

 

Ella takes her audience on an astonishing journey of the mind, providing a remarkable perspective of the world both in your head, and in your heart.She will bring you to both happy and sad tears all while she has you thinking differently about the water coming out of your face. Ella's electric energy, humor, and contagious happiness makes you reflect deeply about your life, and alters your daily perspective.

Sometimes it's just nice to know you're not the only one in the room with similar thoughts."

WHY
her story matters

You may be thinking,“How is a girl with a brain injury relevant to our company..?” At the end of the day, we’re all just humans playing the game of life. We’re born, taught to function, given the free will to do anything we want with our lives, and of course, gifted a crappy, awful, wild card. 

Now, Ella is probably the only one in the room that has Retrograde Amnesia… that was her horror, her wild card; but we all have something equivalent. Something awful flung into our life that we’re forced to face. 

So, what happens when life goes spinning out of control? How do we wake up every morning doing the same thing, facing the same crap, and still find genuine joy and laughter?
Allow Ella to explain.

  • SPEAKING RATES
    After collecting all of your information, we will enter it into our system and based on those variables (location, audience size, etc..) it spits out a number. We share this quote with you and talk through the details​​. “That doesn’t help me. Just give me a number.” -You, probably. At this time, we hope you’ve inquired for a quote. But, if you're looking for an immediate ballpark number, please consider this information: Ella is an experienced speaker and is well known for her sought-after keynote. She is the speaker that kicks off/closes down for all attendees at the conference The speaker that you invite the entire campus to hear Or the main entertainment at your event This information isn’t provided to boast about her speaking career (well, maybe a little).. It is given (and specifically worded) for you to identify her speaking rank and/or assist you in a simple Google search- this should provide you with the ability to find average keynote rates and comparison charts).
  • WHY CAN'T I FIND VIDEOS OF ELLA SPEAKING?
    Unfortuently, there are several factors that contribute to this. To name a few: Copyrights The concept similar to, "Why would you go to the movie theater when you could stay home and watch it online?" Audience mismatch Explained: If you were to tell your best buddy a story.. it would be told in a very different way than how you would tell (the exact same story) to your grandmother. The same idea applies when Ella is on stage. Her performance is specifically tailored to the audience infront of her at that time. Being said, a clip from a corporate conference would not be accurate for say, a college campus and vice versa. Copyrights. Did we already say copyrights? Copyrights. We are currently working to resolve this problem. Until then, we encourage you to.. ​​​​​ Schedule a call with Ella (you will immediately feel her contagious energy and get a better feel for her communication style). Read audience testimonials Reach out to anyone who has heard her speak in the past Ask questions! ​​​​​Ella is a very down to earth, transparent gal- she will be happy to answer any questions that may be hindering your decision.
