What clients are saying

In an ocean of repetitive and template advice, Kelly is such a breath of fresh air. Her structured counsel on things to consider while going on and coming back from maternity leave were incredibly valuable. Across tenures, colleagues view her as a “trusted mentor and thought partner.”

  • I did not expect to be able to get into the details of the field I’m in but Kelly jumped in feet first and learned about my “world” from the start of our sessions. She created a safe space for me to not only discuss my goals at length but to also address my fears as well. Her gentle style belies her direct approach to discussing what I want and what I’m doing to get it - as well as behaviors that minimize or get in the way of my own successes. I feel more focused on my goals and attuned to my part in making them happen, thanks to my work with Kelly.
