Hi, I’m Kelly

Activator | Adaptability | Relator | Learner | Responsibility

I get it. Leading, coaching, and showing up in this fast-paced, noisy world can feel overwhelming and confusing. Hustle harder to achieve success, but don’t burnout or become unhappy. Be assertive and take charge, but stay humble and collaborative. Be client-focused and prioritize their needs, but remain authentic and true to yourself.

I’ve been there and struggled with it too.

Then, I discovered CliftonStrengths, and everything changed. Suddenly, I had the clarity and direction I’d been missing to lead and coach with confidence. I learned how to increase performance without burning myself (or others) out. I figured out how to command a group while staying open to collaboration. I discovered how to listen to feedback while staying true to my vision and communicating it in a way that resonated with others.

Now, I’m here to help you experience the same transformation.

As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and founder of The Leading Light Coach, I work with leaders, coaches, and professionals in people-centered industries who want to lead with confidence and clarity, communicate their value and vision clearly, and create meaningful impact for themselves and their teams or clients.

My superpower? Cutting through all the noise and confusion to give you evidence-based, simple, clear, actionable strategies that actually work.

You don’t need to hustle harder or change who you are. Together, we’ll unlock what makes you uniquely talented, align your talents with your goals, and help you communicate what you do best so others take notice - whether you’re leading a team, coaching clients, or advancing your career.

Ready to step into your strengths and make it happen?
