A 6’5″ 250-pound man looked at Elaine Pasqua and said: “You are the biggest little thing I’ve ever seen!”
This New Jersey native has incredible moxie and connects with people faster than you can say “fuhgeddaboudit.”
For almost three decades, Elaine has been traveling the country energetically speaking to corporations and associations, NFL, NBA, and MLB teams, colleges and universities, and our military servicemembers.

She is recognized for her highly interactive keynotes and trainings which get people up on their feet, energizes them, and shifts perspective.
Her background in public health and 13-year career as a dental hygienist serves her clients well as she values health and wellness.
Elaine’s passion for making a difference in people’s lives started with her speaking out after losing her mom and stepdad to AIDS-related complications. And now, as a professional speaker, author, columnist, and producer/director of public service videos, she continues to make an impact in the world.
Her keen knowledge, compassion, ability to connect, and sharp humor make her keynotes and trainings highly interactive, transformative, and positively influential.
When Elaine is not jet-setting across the country, you can find her enjoying strenuous hikes for the reward at the top, traveling for pleasure with her husband Jeff, singing rich harmonies with friends until the wee hours of the morning, or in her beautiful gardens with lots of dirt under her fingernails! She is the proud mom of Evan and David who are happy, productive, and caring young men.
