Increases in skill and performance, morale, engagement, perceptions of wellness, compassion, quality of relationship.
Decreases in conflict, avoidance, sick time, bitterness, errors, and drama. Less focus on life as transactions.
Consultancy & coaching
Helping folks figure out where they'd like to be is one of our main jams. We support future casting, identifying ways to create that future, and fine tuning as needed. It all must align with their personal and organizational values.
Adult Learning
We love designing, delivering, and evaluating learning--even the training tours. We design and develop proprietary as well as bespoke programs, onsite, online, and as webinars.
Conferencing & talks
Our founder and CEO, Elizabeth Power, M.Ed. is a popular conference speaker. She talks about about trauma-responsive emotional intelligence, hope, resilience, and change as they relate to your audience. Elizabeth also leads retreats. People love her programs!
BEING HAPPY
Enjoy life
Helping people get happier? That's a key jam of ours, and not with phony attitudes. After years as The Voice of Lived Experience and in corporate America, our founder knows a think or two about the mechanics of getting happier.
BE SUCCESSFUL
Realize potential
It takes creativity, problem-solving skills, intuition and effort to realize potential. We help you with coaching, consulting, AI enablement, learning experiences that support success, conferences, retreats and more. We love growth.
SHRINK STRESS
Find balance
The fluid balance demanded by today's stressors requires resilience. Not just superficial stuff, a real increase in sturdiness. We use Ginsberg's 7Cs model as the foundation of our work in coaching, consulting and talent development.
FOR THE BETTER
Compost change
Going through change is tough--unless you're the owner of the change. Our work addresses this human side as well as supporting OCM. It makes change easier, and helps people maintain performance during shift or upheaval.
About us
EPower and Associates, Inc.
Our story.
Highlights of our history as a company.
Since 1982, we've evolved from a sole proprietorship to a micro-corporation whose original work is in use on every continent except Antarctica.

Our client list includes Fortune 500 companies, solopreneurs, government agencies, research facilities, and nonprofits of all sizes.

Elizabeth speaks at an average of 23 conferences annually on a variety of topics related to process improvement, trauma responsive systems, change, innovation and more.
Our work in AI Enablement with our partners calls on our collective skills in critical thinking, linguistics, social process, adult learning, motivation, neurobiology, influence and organizational functions.

Our approach to our work
Relationships are what it's all about.
Strengthen your emotional intelligence
The skills in emotional intelligence support better business, better finance and better relationships. Increasing those skills is critical during change.
Build sturdier relationships
Sturdy relationships appreciate truth, authenticity, and even conflict. Learn to love the messy and cherish resolution--and restoration
Work
collaboratively
In a time when "me" seems more important that "we," we think that synergy is more powerful. We work on how we work together and practice shared outcomes.
Fix processes; don't blame people
With a Six sigma Black Belt as CEO, we are all about improving processes to eliminate friction whether in services or manufacturing. We love supporting customer-supplier relationships.
Respond to customer | supplier needs
There's always a combination
of internal and external customers and suppliers whose needs
and specifications are as important to us as ours are.
Do plan, do, check
and act. Repeat.
Dig your well before you get thirsty. It works. Then, when you've slaked your thirst, compare the outcomes with the plans, and adjust as needed.
Begin with the end
in mind.
Future casting and creating programs to achieve cast goals is important. It's people, process and systems beginning to end.
Alignment is critical.
Use TR-EQ Skills in Every Situation
Everyone has a history: a crisis of some sort, something incredibly overwhelming. We use the same skills we teach Trauma Responsive Emotional Intelligence.
Consultancy & Coaching
Every project is different. Whether it's working in a manufacturing environment to reduce down time and improve maintenance outcomes, or helping a small accounting practice expand capacity during tax season, or maybe wrestling with internal and external feedback that screams "Change is required!!" we're there with you.
Organizational, one on one, and group work.
Our Bespoke Consulting Projects
Effective, scalable, human-centered work. When we provide consulting services, our clients have come to us with a specific pain point from which they need relief. We work to assess for root cause, present options for addressing the issues, and implement according to our clients' directives. We bring a wider variety of tools and partners to the table as needed.
DEVELOP NEW SKILLS
Adult Learning
Course and learning experience design based on ADDIE and ISD. Facilitation, training tours. Evaluation using Kirkpatrick's four level model. We have over 30 years of developing competency-based learning.
BE SUCCESSFULL
Documentation
Create or review documents and templates for optimal use. Instructions, process mapping and adjustment, accessibility. We completed over 350 projects at GM Saturn, UCAR, ATT and Sprint.
AVOID EVERYDAY STRESS
Culture | Model
When systems change or social process demand a different model, we can help design and develop that model just as we did with the the Ford Blue Oval Program, Call Center Certification and T3 Processes.
FOR THE BETTER
AI Enablement
When you want to increase capacity without adding headcount, identify and increase depth of culture, support rational workloads, AI can help. Our team actively supports HR functions in implementation.
Speaking
Keynotes and more
Smart. Funny. Captivating.

MAGIC QUESTIONS
THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Elizabeth Power's three magic questions--and the stories that go with them--are perfect keynote and workshop offerings when you need depth, meaning and humor.
They challenge your audience to consider the meanings we make of others' behavior, reasons we cling to old thinking, and the cost of stagnating there. Even better, they help improve morale, reduce stress, and open up compassion.
Suitable for any audience from personal transformation, healthcare education, association gathering, customer service, and retreats.
TRAUMA-INFORMED PROCESSES
CORE SKILLS
THAT REDUCE THE TIME, DISCOMFORT, AND COSTS OF HEALING
Whether it’s personal healing, customer service, teaching, or clinical care, responding from a trauma-informed process improves outcomes.
These five core skills? Everyone can use them at work and at home. They are automatically trauma-responsive and easy to use.
Available as a workshop, keynote, and poster session. Great for retreats and personal or professional development.
MASTERING CHANGE
LIKE A CHAMELEON CRAWLING
THROUGH A COSTUME BALL
Change of all sorts--whether we're the owner, the agent, or the target--can throw us off balance and make us gnaw on ourselves like a critter in a trap, collapse our bounce to the ounce, and feel.... awful.
When your audience leaves this presentation (whether keynote or workshop), they'll be able to recognize the feelings of change, transform them to useful clues, and then engage an evidence-based model for amplifying the things we do for self-care to boost our resilience.
Folks say "everyone needs this!" and we'll bring it to you virtually or onsite.

Our Bespoke Learning Projects
Sometimes organizations ask us for help with their programs. We may help them with the needs analysis, the design and development in accordance with their objectives and even do training tours and deliver for them. Without naming clients, here's some of what we've done.
SUPPORTING CHANGE
USE NEW TOOLS
When companies in the pipe-valve-fitting service needed workers in the field to master POS inventory tools, we trained everyone who touched the transaction on how to use them. We've also helped clients with use case and skills in automotive, contact center, leaderships development, nonprofit and healthcare settings.
BETTER COMMUNICATION
POWER SPEAKING
Communication skills that fulfill internal and external customer service expectations are the same, even when multiple generational dialects are involved. We have created bespoke programs on supporting pleasant interactions, managing conflict, using the language of possibility, and more across manufacturing, service, retail, healthcare and more.
LIVING BETTER SKILLS
TR-EQ
Trauma Responsive Emotional Intelligence (TREQ) is one of the first programs to pair increased emotional intelligence with greater mastery of the impact of overwhelming events.
We take our core content and adapt it to meet client-specific needs. Our standard content is used in a variety of settings, positive, strength based, and present-focused.
FOR NOW & FUTURE
AI Enablement
The ability of AI to perform tasks, eliminate inefficiencies and increase throughput is remarkable. Of course, the output is dependent on the input and that's where, with partners, we offer superior skill in combining decades of success consulting with the benefits of AI tempered by humanness. We help organizations create sustainable change.
Will these change people?
No.
Will these help people change?
Yes.
When people use the tools we offers, whether proprietary or bespoke, they change and so does their environment. Whether for personal or professional growth or as part of an organizational project, ours is the most practical learning you'll find.
Testimonials
This is an amazing program and I have learned so much about the population we serve as well as my own thought processes... I would love to see the entire hospital be involved in this as I believe our outcomes would improve and we would interact... in a much different way.
Dir. Medical Records Director,
Performance Improvement
We actually had fun mapping out all the steps in our processes and then systematically figuring out where a change might have the greatest impact--in the end, we increased capacity during tax season by 37%.
We developed enough skill that we can do this for ourselves to a certain level . One day. Just amazing. I'll be calling for what's next."
