Once upon a time, a 6’5″ 250 pound man looked at petite Elaine standing at 5’3″ and said: “You are the biggest little thing I’ve ever seen!”

This funny and energetic live wire has been traversing the country for more than 25 years, advocating for positive choices, optimal health, healthy relationships, and productive lives.

Elaine’s pursuit for making a difference in the lives of others began when she spoke out after losing her mom and stepdad to AIDS related complications. Her career as a professional speaker stemmed from passion, not from the desire to make money. That passion is reflected in her work today. Enhancing the quality of life for others resonates through Elaine’s keen knowledge, compassion, ability to connect, and sharp humor.

Elaine’s enthusiasm for making a difference has remarkably taken her to work with:

  • 650 universities nationwide
  • 31 professional sports teams across the NFL, NBA, and MLB
  • Countless businesses and professional associations
  • Our military service personnel
  • High schools and parent groups

Elaine is an author, columnist, and producer/director of public service videos. She has been featured in USA Today, NY 1 News, Time Warner TV, NPR, NBC Sports Radio, CBS Sports, and Knight Ridder News Service. Elaine is a five-time nominee for Best Speaker of the Year for Campus Activities Magazine Readers Choice Awards and is the author of #Mom I Got This: Building Your Legacy in College and Beyond.

When she is not traveling on planes, trains, and automobiles, you can find Elaine hiking, traveling for pleasure with her husband Jeff, singing 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…whew, she made it through parenting!

Elaine Pasqua, CSP is a dynamic nationally recognized keynote speaker and trainer who has transformed the lives of more than half a million people nationwide. She has been helping businesses, colleges, pro athletic teams, and the military increase productivity and retain talent by generating positive choices, healthy communication, and respectful relationships.

What is a CSP?

As a 13-year member of National Speakers Association, Elaine was awarded one of its highest designations as a Certified Speaking Professional in 2015. The CSP is granted to only 12% of its members here in the United States and the International Speaking Federation. This is the speaking profession’s highest earned international measure of professional platform competence.
