Elaine Adamson - The Dot Connector

I'm Elaine Adamson, Leadership Consultant and Founder of Dots Leadership Solutions Inc., based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

I've always been passionate about team and leadership coaching, guiding leaders to create positive workplaces. To me leadership skills & team development are crucial to long-term, sustainable business results.

If you strive for the best, are a high performer, an emerging leader or just someone who seeks personal and professional improvement then I welcome your connection!

My clients are leaders who put people first (just like me). Leaders who strive to make a difference and build human connection for success; who are open to seek feedback, expert guidance and advice to improve the outcomes they seek.

In addition to private coaching I also design and deliver customized workshops and use personal assessments to discover individual communication styles, connect with others and explore how to optimize team dynamics.

My Story
I spent 25+ years in HR as a senior level business partner supporting complex org structures globally and across Canada (union and non/union), for both large and small businesses (i.e. TD Bank, AT&T Canada, Allstream). I facilitated big changes; exponential growth, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations and downsizing.

With people in mind, I was known for unconventional solutions and fresh new ideas. It wasn't about 'HR' process or politics for me. It was helping business leaders succeed by creating practical yet simple solutions, with a people mindset.

Connecting the Dots

When I left corporate, I asked executive clients to share what they remembered me for - the themes were consistent:

"Held my 'feet to the fire' for my own success yet, never let me down"
"Could count on you for candid, real feedback"
"Told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to"
"Pushed me and gave me faith in myself"
"Helped me get out of my own way"
"Couldn't have been successful without your guidance"

This feedback validated that my best work wasn't about 'HR' at all. It was about making an impact through honest personalized connection and genuine caring.

Being the trusted partner senior leaders called for candid advice (zero BS) and pushing them to stand tall as a leader, no matter what change or crisis they had to lead.

So today I tap into my best super powers to help leaders around Toronto succeed: Team Effectiveness, Employee Engagement and Leadership & Team Coaching.

To discuss how I can help you, please send me an email.
