how i help

I believe that each of us possesses a unique contribution we’re meant to share with the world.  My goal is to help you discover (or rediscover) that spark, your “why” or purpose, and move confidently towards it to illuminate your brightest, most vibrant self. My programs are designed with you and tailored for you to meet you where you are right now. I can help you in the following ways:

  • Dig deep into what brings you joy and makes you most alive - we start from there

  • Bring clarity to your vision by checking in with your heart, body, soul, and mind

  • Address the voices in your head that are holding you back

  • Create commitments to deepen the learning and forward the action

  • Build structures and plans around who you’re being and what you’re doing to gain momentum

My Projects

Coach & Mentor - 2016, 2017, 2022 - 2023

I help create stronger outdoor industry leaders through a 6 month 1:1 mentorship program. Aligned with the Leadership Academy curriculum, we focus on vision, values, leadership, advocacy, conservation, change, and impact (The Futurist Project is formerly Skip Yowell’s Future Leadership Academy).  

Employee Engagement and Leadership Team Development Workshops - 2022

Partnering with leadership, I developed and facilitated multiple Workshops designed to challenge the status quo and embrace leadership in a post-COVID environment. We empowered regional brand reps to change their sales approach, challenged employees to brainstorm and prioritize the future they wanted to be and see, and inspired leaders to activate against those changes.

Vision, Values and Organizational Development - 2022

Executive 1:1 coaching and brainstorming that helped establish long-term vision and strategy, organizational leadership and the plan required to get there.

vision planning workshop - 2023

Vision for Reforestation Campaign. Partnership with Directors and Individual Contributors to determine the long-term vision, GTM Strategy, and Planning for next-generation of NFF.

Testimonials

Amy Callaway - Store Design Manager, WIlliams Sonoma

I've been working with Kelly and she's been so helpful in getting clear on what is important to me, what I need to focus on, and where I want to be. I highly recommend working with her!

Brittany fell - Finance manager, charles schwab

Kelly mentored me through a pivotal point in my career. She helped me determine what values coincided between my work life and personal life and how to harness them within my career. There are very few people I’ve met in my life that are true listeners and Kelly is one of those people. She asks insightful and intentionally worded questions that made me deeply contemplate our discussions and really think about my responses. I would recommend Kelly as a mentor to anyone! 

Erin jensen - founder, retrofelted

I’ve always been an artist with many interests and talents, but I’ve lacked focus and direction. After a few sessions with Kelly, I am doing away at the mental baggage or “sabateur” associated with my creative gifts. She helps me visualize the why and the how to become the entrepreneur in the way that emphasizes my unique talents. Kelly has an optimistic approach and is a natural at keeping things fun and simple. I’ve been getting coached by Kelly for about three months. Since, I find myself fantasizing less and actually doing more. Together we’ve tackled some questions like: What would make my business feel real? Who are my allies? What should I say no to? What brings me joy? I have since been able to define and articulate what I want to be doing in 3 months or 3 years. I’ve launched my idea for my business  “Retrofelted” that specializes in wool and wool balls hand made and designed by me from sheep that I sheer and raise on my fifties’ farm on Stretch Island.  I look forward to checking in with Kelly on a regular basis as she keeps me accountable. Her coaching has been invaluable. Thank you Kelly! 

Dan Zuccarello - Executive Food Editor, America’s Test Kitchen

Kelly's guidance has been incredibly helpful in my journey towards validating my strengths and successes and feeling confident in my career direction. She has motivated me to be more present in the moment and intentional about my future. She's always thoughtful in our conversations and creative with the challenges she offers to advance my growth. 

Colleen coleman - founder, haus of hygge

Kelly is the strategist you didn't know you needed on your leadership team. Her ability to download the nugget from the leader's brain and onto the white board is second to none. If you're looking to take your business to next, you NEED to get on her calendar.

Ericka Bremer - Founder, Ricki’s Rants

Kelly helped me discover the confidence and courage to launch my own freelance career after years of not finding clarity or purpose in my career path. Her genuine vivacity and curiosity about what risks I was willing to take kickstarted a deep sense of both self-acceptance and discovery. I am forever grateful for my work with her and can’t imagine what my life would look like without her wisdom and fire.
