Hi, I’m Kelly

Activator | Adaptability | Relator | Learner | Responsibility

As founder of The Leading Light Coach and a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, I help leaders, coaches, and professionals thrive by unlocking their strengths to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

For over 15 years, I’ve guided people to discover their potential - from personal training and yoga instruction to managing teams and leading yoga teacher training programs. In every role, my mission was clear: help people succeed by being their authentic selves.

When I discovered CliftonStrengths, everything clicked. It gave me the tools to combine my passion for growth with a proven framework to help others achieve lasting results.

I specialize in:

  • Leaders: Building strengths-based cultures, developing authentic leadership, and inspiring teams.

  • Coaches: Standing out, attracting clients, and delivering results through strengths.

  • Professionals: Building confidence, communicating effectively, and advancing careers with purpose.

Through coaching and workshops, I provide clear, actionable strategies to help you lead, work, and thrive.

Why work with me? I simplify the path to success by focusing on what makes you unique. Together, we’ll:

  • Unlock your strengths.

  • Build confidence.

  • Create real impact.
