Jan Elfline

I went from engineering student to glassblower to educator to art teacher to leadership trainer and coach. Coaching led me to Hong Kong and Copenhagen and London and Shanghai and Guadalajara among other places. This twisted professional path has provided me with insights and surprises that I will always be grateful for.

My strongest interest has always been in creativity and innovation, specifically as it applies to living a life. How can a person learn habits that create happiness, in themselves and the people around them? Great question.

I like to write thinking exercises that invite awareness - awareness that leads to changes in behavior - behavior that leads to life satisfaction. If just one page of one of my books does that for just one reader, I'm happy.
