About Executive 360° Coaching
Ah. Barton Springs.
These aquifer-fed waters are inviting on hot summer days, but most have to brace themselves to brave the plunge into this cold, deep sanctuary.
Engaging in coaching can be like that. Lots of people are jumping in, but it takes some courage to go below the surface, not knowing what you will find.
Professional development…
is personal work.
“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
~ Fred Rogers’ mom

Transformation through Coaching
Therapy and coaching aren’t the same thing, but they overlap in many ways.
Engaging in either setting holds the promise of transformation and progress toward personal aspirations. In therapy, the context is broad, including looking back, looking forward, analyzing the here and now — how you got here and where you want to go informed by what your present reality is.
While therapy includes and implies healing, coaching work is more narrowly focused on a specific realm of development and meeting future goals.
Additionally, therapists are required to have formal education and up-to-date licensure. They are able to provide clinical treatment and diagnosis of mental disorders. This is not true for coaches.
Executive 360° Coaching is owned and operated by a licensed therapist but is NOT offering any clinical treatment or diagnostics. Under her LCSW, Ellen Lindsey is licensed to provided non-clinical services, such as assessments and job counseling. She has attained many coaching certifications, laying the foundation for her professional and leadership development services.
These certifications enable Ellen to provide tried-and-true, highly structured, well-validated and widely-used assessments, tools and curriculum to Executive 360°Coaching clients.
Owner, Founder, Entrepreneur, Social Worker, Coach
Executive 360° Coaching is owned and operated by Ellen Lindsey, LCSW, a native Austinite and lifetime entrepreneur.
With humble beginnings selling her hand-sewn wares on the University of Texas “drag” in the early 90’s, she moved on from there to earn a masters in the Science of Social Work from the University of Texas. Then, she opened her own private psychotherapy practice in central Austin.
In 2012, Ellen co-founded Therapy Austin, a counseling agency which provided training to novice counselors and offered affordable services to greater Austin’s community. Under her leadership, this business grew more than 40% to 60% year-over-year, eventually employing 120 counselors and serving over a thousand clients each week at five locations across town.
A great part of Therapy Austin’s success was due, in part, to developing a proprietary piece of practice management software called “TAWorks”. Ellen played the role of Product Owner and Manager. The application revolutionized the way counselors could assess their clinical engagement and personal success using data and metrics. Additionally, it advanced the way clients were matched with counselors.
With the sale of Therapy Austin in 2022, Ellen turned back to a solo business model and refashioned her services to work with business executives seeking professional and leadership development. She attained certifications in the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory with Korn Ferry, the Leadership Circle Profile®, the Collective Leadership Assessment®, the Leadership System®, and the Pulse® survey process.
Integrating all of her wisdom and experience - as entrepreneur, founder, therapist, owner/operator, employer, software creator, training designer, operations director, and business marketer - today, Ellen works with leaders, executives, teams and organizations seeking expert guidance and support on developing the leadership competencies needed to thrive in the 21st century business landscape.
Serving Austin, Texas, she prefers onsite, in person engagement. Why? Because professional development is personal work. Contracts requiring travel are considered.
