Hear What Coaching Clients Have to Say

I have had the honor of working with hundreds of individuals committed to creating positive change in their lives. Whether achieving career aspirations, enhancing leadership skills, or transforming personal growth, hear what some of them have had to say about their experience in coaching. 

“The time I have spent working with Kellie over the past two plus years has been invaluable both personally and professionally. Having never been coached in a formal sense before, it was remarkable how beneficial the reflective and contemplative time was not only in sessions, but between them. Kellie is an active listen, patient, and reflective. She is motivating without being pushy and there is never any judgement. Her support is engaging and has allowed me to grow through a professional life transition in ways I never could have imagined. I certainly would not have navigated this time as well without Kellie.”

— Ben H, former client

“My decision to pursue and continue professional coaching with Kellie was among the best investments I have made in myself. Kellie inspired me to take ownership of my greatest strengths and learn lessons where they were least expected, which has not only served me professionally, but also from a personal standpoint. Her carefully crafted questions continually resulted in my questioning (in a good way) the things I believed to be true about myself, my style, my leadership impact, and beyond. Prior to embarking on my journey with Kellie, I believed that I was already a fairly good leader, however, I am truly amazed thinking back to that point in time, compared to my capacity and capability as an enterprise-wide, inspirational leader today.”

— Katie, Senior Leader 

“Kellie is a terrific coach and collaborator and I feel very fortunate to have worked with her over the past year while undergoing a major professional transition. Not only has Kellie provided invaluable insights and resources but she’s also unfailingly professional, warm, and flexible in her approach. When I needed specific business recommendations, she offered them. And when I needed a holistic approach to creative output, she generously shared her experience. Throughout, her communication has always been clear, honest, and transparent.

In short, working with Kellie has made a deeply meaningful difference in my life both personally and professionally. I highly recommend her coaching as an extraordinary value in every sense.”

— Christina DeYoung, client

“Kellie was an outstanding resource that assisted me in professional development, reframing views to allow for greater focus on strengths, and utilizing self reflection to make strides in self improvement and growth.”

— Matthew Roche, former client

“I received positive outcomes and concrete results from coaching faster than I expected. Kellie coached me professionally with kindness and full dedication. I highly recommend her and would definitely choose her again. It was beautiful sharing my difficulties/fears and learning how to overcome them, through better understanding myself and needs.”

— Patricia Badke, Deputy Protection Coordinator, International Committee of the Red Cross

“I am privileged to have worked with Kellie as my coach—she helped me to set up new goals and define a road map to put me on the right path to achieve what is important to me. She helped me to be courageous and move forward as a leader in my work and life.”

— Hisham T, client

“Kellie is a great coach – thoughtful, direct, insightful, and kind. She listened deeply in each session and brought my attention and focus on what best served my goals. And, she coached me with compassion and humor. I loved working with Kellie and recommend her highly!”

— Lucy W, client

“Kellie helped me to reflect on myself—to find areas and opportunities for me to grow. I could always share what I was thinking and I never felt judged. Even between our sessions, I came to new awareness and realizations. I learned so much in this process. Coaching helped me create time for reflection about myself, to accept who I am, but also to grow into a better person, manager, and leader. Not only did I notice changes in myself in a short period of time, but others I work with noticed changes as well.”

— Olga, Manager

FEEDBACK FROM CLIENTS

“Kellie has been an inspiration and help for me to live up to higher standards in a fun yet meaningful way. She has been so kind and understanding and she encouraged me to acknowledge myself more for who I already am. She was supportive every step of the way.”

DINA C.

“Kellie balances warmth and empathy with challenging you to create the life you yearn for. She is a supportive listener with an inquisitive mind and sharp intellect. She is reflective and holds your vision and agenda in service of your needs and goals. Also, she’s fun and brings humor. You would be lucky to work with her!”

REBECCA A.

“Working with Kellie was a complete joy! She is a gifted coach and was very quickly able to help me identify limiting beliefs that were holding me back. Having recently launched my business, I found myself questioning decisions and at times feeling stuck. Kellie worked with me to identify and lean into my strengths and inner wisdom. During each session there were several “aha” moments that I still carry with me today. As a result of my work with Kellie, I gained a new sense of confidence and was able to double my client roster in a matter of months. I highly recommend her!”

— Sonali A, client

“It was great to work with Kellie as I was transitioning in my career and life and wanted some guidance on next steps. She is a warm, insightful person who helped clarify how my values will help drive my future decisions. Our coaching sessions went beyond just career talk, dealing with the whole person, not just who I am in my work. This was very helpful to me. What I liked most about the sessions was that Kellie didn’t provide me with answers, rather she helped me find the answers inside myself.”

— Jeanette, CEO

“I contacted Kellie after accepting a high-profile job. It was a dream position, but I did not feel confident in my abilities. I wanted help prioritizing and planning for my demanding job and family life. Kellie helped me find the courage to conquer long-standing goals that I would've never been able to do on my own. Soon after starting coaching, my wife noticed a dramatic improvement and my supervisor kept noting my organizational and leadership skills. I couldn't believe how quickly things seemed to turn around! I am happy to say that several months later, I feel like a strong leader, both at home and at the workplace.”

DL, client

“Kellie is an awesome coach! She is attentive, compassionate, experienced, and challenged me to find new perspectives that changed everything.”

— David, client

“In a few short sessions, Kellie was able to help me change my perspective from one of helpless bystander to competent director of how I could use the crisis of 2020 to my advantage. She helps her clients see how they can create the future they want - but remains entirely human in her approach.”

— L.Gillespie

“This coaching learning journey with Kellie has given me a lot of takeaways. I have a better understanding of myself as an individual, greater self-esteem and sense of worth, knowing how to remain inspired by the positive aspects of life. I also have learned more about resilience, courage, and strength, and how to accept others’ perspectives and remain patient when things don’t work out as planned. These are all crucial skills for managing and leading.”

— Ibrahim Gibriel George, Former Client
