What clients say about Kelly:
“Kelly is a natural coach. She loves to help people fulfill their potential. She brings perspective, and nuggets for people to interpret themselves, influencing when it comes to creating healthy solutions. Her wisdom and ability to see and understand all sides makes her an asset in difficult situations. She challenged me and was always creating a launching pad for me so I could quickly move forward.”
“Kelly is a partner in problem-solving. She is in the moment with people and is really good at not just telling you what to do, rather, she asks excellent questions, comes from a place of curiosity and helps you answer your own question. She is an excellent communicator and coach.”
“Kelly’s coaching was a game-changer for me. I am now able to connect many more pieces on why and how I’m getting results (or not), and what I can do to be more effective. This has put me in the driver’s seat of my career and personal fulfillment.”
Important qualities Kelly brings to her clients:
Curiosity, empathy, competence, wisdom, a sense of humor, and a profound desire to help people flourish.
When Not Working:
Kelly enjoys being active, especially trail-running and yoga. She is married to a restaurant owner and not coincidentally loves eating great food. They are raising their two kids, currently teenagers. She’ll try anything creative – drawing, painting, collaging, quilting – as she finds those things soul-soothing. An ideal day is one spent on the beach or near the ocean.
