Hey there. I'm Kelly and I've spent my career helping people kick ass and become better versions of themselves. Coaching, training, recruiting – you name it, I've done it, and in a variety of industries ranging from advertising to behavioral health to tourism and beyond. I launched my coaching practice in 2009 and have since guided individuals to achieve dreams in all areas of their lives. Be it supporting new managers in their journeys from uncertain supervisors to rock star bosses, helping lost newbies zero in on what they want from their careers and find their inner confidence to ask for (and receive) that promotion, or enabling leaders to be more self-aware in their management styles and more skillfully interact with those around them, I've got you covered.
To me, there's nothing quite as rewarding as seeing people become who they were always meant to be and knowing that I had a part in getting them there. I'm a professional coach certified by the International Coach Federation and trained at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. I'm also a graduate of LaSalle University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which has been a great help in figuring out why people are occasionally a little bit….eccentric. Outside of pushing to make people and organizations better, I spend most of my time marathoning Netflix programming with my mutt, Dexter.
