Kelly Poulson (she/her)

My experience with Kelly surprised me. I began with expectations that after an initial discussion, we’d narrow down a detailed plan on how to get out of a rut and then either launch a new career or reignite past passions in my current career and then follow through with an accounting of actions to take and timelines to met. Yet, that was not what I needed and Kelly saw that from our first chat. In reality, I was asking about my current career, “How did I get here? Why do I now feel stuck? Where do I want to be? And what does it all mean?! Ahh….” True to a real coach, she sought to understand me by digging deep through insightful questions, various assignments and check-ins, and finally listening to me explain the answer to all those questions. I ended feeling empowered to break out of the rut, not with a detailed plan that I'd eventually ignore, but with a mindset to bring in a richer and fuller life and career that I cannot ignore. And of course, I have a few key insights and principles to make it count. Thus, I was surprised I got so much for so little. Thanks Kelly!

I can't really put a price on the time I spent with Kelly. I've been feeling a bit off track and not too sure of what I want to do next, and her insight has just been invaluable to me. She not only guides me and helps me manage what we've put on paper together as my clear "action steps", but she's also become a true life coach, mentor and real friend along the way. I feel confident that she's given me the skills to do this all on my own, although I'm not sure what I'll do without her!

Kelly helped me take the plunge, and aggressively pursue my dreams of making a career transition. Through the somewhat difficult interview process, Kelly has been helpful, sincere and insightful, whilst providing encouraging words and guidance to keep me motivated. I can not recommend her coaching more!

When I was looking for direction on how to move forward with my career, a friend kept encouraging me to reach out to Kelly, knowing that she always has a fantastic perspective and would be able to offer guidance that is helpful yet also manageable. I’m so glad I worked with her! She was able to take all of the conflicting thoughts I had about how to proceed and provided me with ways to organize my options and goals. It helped me to feel confident about taking next steps. Connecting with Kelly as a coach will be an asset to anyone determined to achieve their goals.
