Welcome

Thanks for stopping by, I'm Kelly

I’m a coach, consultant and catalyst for change. I work with leaders, founders and teams who want to cut through the noise, face what’s really going on, and move forward with confidence.

After 30 years in business across change, transformation and leadership, I know how easy it is to feel stuck in the weeds or pulled in too many directions. Coaching creates the pause you need to think clearly, make intentional choices, and lead with impact.

About Me

SLOWING DOWN TO SPEED UP

HOW WE CAN HELP

We work with leaders, founders and teams navigating growth, complexity or reinvention.

We support individuals and organisations through three complementary pathways—each tailored to help you tackle complexity and drive meaningful change.

COACHING FOR LEADERS & FOUNDERS

Leadership can be full-on. Coaching gives you the space to slow down, step back and make sense of what’s really going on — in your work, your team, or your next chapter.

It’s a confidential space to think clearly, get honest with yourself, and make intentional choices about how you lead and live.

Whether you’re navigating change, growing a team, feeling stuck, or just need a sounding board — we’ll work together on what matters most to you. Expect practical support, clear thinking and the kind of questions that shift things.

“We desperately need more leaders who are committed to courageous, wholehearted leadership and who are self-aware enough to lead from their hearts, rather than unevolved leaders who lead from hurt and fear.”

Brene Brown

TEAM PERFORMANCE COACHING

Build trust, strengthen communication, and tackle the elephants in the room.

Great teams don’t just happen — they’re built through honest conversations, shared purpose and the right conditions to do their best work.

Whether your team is growing fast, stuck in silos, or hitting tension points, I create space for teams to slow down, connect and do the work that often gets missed in the day-to-day.

We’ll look at how your team works together — what’s working, what’s not, and what’s getting in the way. Then we’ll build practical tools and shared understanding to help you move forward with more clarity, trust and focus.

No fluffy team-building. Just real, grounded conversations and exercises that help people show up better — for the work, and for each other.

CULTURE & CHANGE CONSULTATION

Scaling teams, shifting ways of working, and leading with values

When your organisation is growing, evolving or hitting complexity, it’s easy for culture and ways of working to get messy. That’s where we come in.

We partner with founders, People teams and senior leaders to bring clarity, structure and focus to times of change — whether you're scaling a team, redefining how you work, or embedding your values into everyday decisions.

It’s practical, people-focused support to help you shape a culture that sticks — not just values printed on a wall. Together, we’ll make the invisible stuff (like behaviours, habits, team norms) visible — and workable.

Be it a one off outcome focused workshop or a longer term partnership, we'll listen to you and build a solution that works.

CLIENTS

What People Are Saying

M, EDUCATION LEADER UK

I found my coaching experience with Kelly really productive in helping me reflect on my leadership style and habits. Kelly is a great listener and encouraged me to see that when I get 'stuck' there are always alternative and better solutions to any issue!

S, BANKING TRANSFORMATION LEADER INDIA

Kelly's energy is infectious, and you instantly brighten up speaking with her. The magic with which she enables me to connect with my inner self so easily is unmatched. I have seen myself grow and more importantly, realised things about me that I had never been paying attention to earlier.

M, TECHNOLOGY LEADER US

Kelly understands how to get the most from your time and focus on the topics that have the biggest impact on your life and career. She brings a structured approach that combines empathy, challenge, insight and academic rigor to identify practical and effective recommendations.

S, FINANCIAL SERVICES LEADER UK

I have already personally recommended Kelly to 4 colleagues. Our sessions have given me the tools and headspace to really make sense of my career path, with Kelly offering an alternative view that I have truly benefited from. Her great personality put me at ease immediately, and her 'real life' experience meant our conversations were a lot more relatable (and useful!) than other coaches I've had. Thank you Kelly, I look forward to our future sessions!
