Experience
In the corporate environment, I serve in a unique role as a coach, advisor, and facilitator, at the intersection of C-suite executives, rising high potential talent, and innovation teams. With formal training in Design Thinking, Lean Startup, and Change Management, I take an empathetic and human-centered approach to guiding my stakeholders through problem-solving and ultimately taking action. I draw energy and inspiration from coaching and mentoring formally and informally.
Coaching Style
You are in the driver seat. As your coach, I will help you uncover your path, identify and tackle obstacles, and hold you accountable to your goals. I ask a lot of questions, celebrate your successes and learnings, and keep you looking forward.

I had some trouble connecting through to the call/video chat option on the HC platform but it may have been from my side as I am currently abroad in Europe. Maybe something to look into Ketan? I also added a "+" in front of my phone number when I shared it so I don't know if that may have been the problem. I called Kelly directly and her kind demeanor and helpful tips helped me feel confident about transitioning into a product management role. I would be happy to work with her again as I make my career move into tech.

Kelly was very helpful in identifying negotiation points and what my bare minimums are. I am much more confident in both negotiating the offer and in accepting it when we are done.

Kelly was awesome! Her advice helped me frame my salary negotiation perfectly, and she brought up key questions that I needed to seek clarification on. I learned a lot for future negotiations too!

I’m so thrilled to be working with Kelly. She gives the best advice so I feel confident going into interviews, with positions that she helped me find to apply for. I have a tendency to get in my own way, and Kelly helps me reorganize my thoughts so I can present my best self.

Kelly was very responsive, friendly, and asked the right questions to understand my situation and what I needed from our coaching session. She gave me the keys to communicating my expectations in a clear and confident manner, along with practical next steps. I ended up receiving an offer with an additional 15K!

Kelly’s advise on communication skills was very helpful; it allowed me to not only learn about my areas of opportunity in terms of career but also lay the ground to help me build stronger professional relationships.

Kelly was great! I was surprised at how much she was able to help me in just 15 minutes. I'm not saying that I suddenly had a direct path to a job or anything, but she helped me realize where on the path I stood and how to continue moving forward.
