Building Radiant Cultures™

Coaching

Empowering Authentic Communication and Leadership

Where Bold Conversations Ignite Authentic Leadership, Empowered Lives, and Radiant Cultures

Founded by Ellen Steinlein, a leadership strategist, certified life coach, and master facilitator, this work is rooted in both deep professional experience and powerful personal growth.

Ellen knows what it means to chase big dreams while honoring where you come from. As the daughter of Cambodian Civil War refugees, raised in a traditional Chinese household, she was taught to prioritize hard work and respect—but not necessarily to speak up for herself. For years, silence felt safer than truth. But through courage, practice, and deep inner work, Ellen found her voice—and now she’s on a mission to help others do the same.

Today, Ellen brings over 15 years of experience in leadership development and coaching to help high achievers, underrepresented voices, and mission-driven organizations rise with confidence and lead with authenticity. Whether you’re a principal, executive, entrepreneur, or educator—Ellen's work blends brave conversation frameworks, emotional intelligence, and personal empowerment tools to build cultures where truth is spoken, trust is restored, and people thrive.

Why Radiance?

At Unleashing Radiance, we believe the most powerful transformations begin with one courageous choice: to speak the truth—with clarity, compassion, and courage. To be radiant is to live and lead from the inside out—with aligned values, authentic voice, and unshakable confidence. In a world that too often rewards silence and self-sacrifice, Unleashing Radiance is about helping you reclaim your voice, your truth, and your power—and speak it into every room you walk into.

Let’s build the kind of schools, teams, and lives where people stop walking on eggshells—and start leading with presence, purpose, and bold authenticity.
