Hi, I’m Kelly

Activator | Adaptability | Relator | Learner | Responsibility

As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and founder of The Leading Light Coach, I help leaders, coaches, and conscious professionals thrive by reconnecting with what makes them uniquely powerful—so they can lead, coach, and contribute with clarity, confidence, and ease.

For over 15 years, I’ve supported people through growth. Sometimes that looked like training clients. Sometimes it was teaching yoga, leading teams, or facilitating workshops. But underneath all of it, my mission has always been the same: Help people succeed by becoming more of who they already are.

When I discovered CliftonStrengths®, everything clicked. It gave me the language and structure to do that work more deeply—and more effectively.

Today, I work with people who are ready to lead from alignment:

  • Leaders and managers who want to lead authentically, inspire trust, and build strengths-based cultures

  • Coaches, HR, and L&D professionals who want to develop others more effectively and be known for creating lasting impact

  • Professionals who want to grow their careers with confidence—without burning out or losing themselves along the way

My approach is simple and strengths-based, but also grounded in intuition, insight, and deep listening. I cut through the noise to help you reconnect with what’s already working, communicate your value with clarity, and lead in a way that feels natural and sustainable.

You don’t have to prove yourself. You just have to lead as yourself.

If that resonates, I’d love to support you.
