here's what people are saying about what it's like to work with me: 

“She’s a woman so she’s easy to talk to, but she’s lived in a man’s world, so she gets it.”

“I find it super interesting all the mostly outdoor shit she’s done. In the bell curve of human experience, she’s way out in the tail and that makes conversations beyond interesting. It’s almost like economics - this rare set of experiences that are inherently valuable because they’re rare.” 

"Her demeanor isn’t typical of what I’d expect from a life coach, but what everyone should strive to be.  Good listener, love her examples.  If I’m having a small problem, she's had that problem on a 10x bigger scale with 10x bigger consequences, very relatable.  Excited to hear what Kellie’s up to because I know it’s to the Nth degree of whatever I’ve experienced and I feel like she's worked her way through big problems."

"Kellie's coaching is really forward thinking. I've tried therapy and, while it was interesting, I didn't think there was much to learn. The forward thinking is what makes coaching different - it's really all about where you're going. In one word, I'd describe Kellie's coaching as informed. She comes at it from a concrete and scientific basis of what works, which I really appreciate. It's also really fun, which I didn't expect!"

“It makes sense to me as a guy to hire a coach like you would at a sport.  You don’t get to the next level without someone who’s been there and has the experience to point out what you’re missing.  I need to get coached up on this stuff in my life so I can get better at it, 10x more important than a sport.”

“I wasn’t sure you’d be able to answer the question of what I should do next, but really you made me realize that I was asking the wrong question all along.”

"One thing I value most about Kellie is that, in addition to being an accomplished woman in the world of sports and mountains, she's also had a high-powered job and been super successful in a male-dominated world. She's got the battle scars and lessons from being a very strong woman in the corporate/business world. So everything is on the table! It's empowering to know Kellie is in my camp and has my back."

“I see myself interacting with and reacting to the world differently and maybe outside of the limitations I’d imposed on myself without even knowing it”

"Kellie went fully in to the core rather than focusing on the symptoms. Now I understand that my challenges are not who I am, that I can learn how I actually feel and use it to guide my life (rather than beating myself up for being a round peg in square hole, find a round hole!)" 

“Kellie has a gentle and reassuring way of inviting me into these conversations - it felt non-threatening and it felt like she was looking out for me”

“To some extent, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.  I’m now more comfortable in tense interactions, they’re not even tense anymore!  I'm less likely to bring tension to an interaction that doesn’t deserve it, which has freed me up to not view myself as a person who’s intimidated by and bad at interacting in that way.  That feeds back to better interactions.”

“I like myself better at home, I like myself better at work and I like myself better with friends. ”

If you had to describe my coaching in one word, what would it be? "tenacious”   “uplifting”    “diligent”   “freeing”   "fun"    "informed" "empowering”   “contemplative”
 
"Conversations aren't about what’s broken in me and why, they’re about what’s possible."
