Hi! I’m Kelley and my passion is empowering women and families to lead balanced, synergistic, fulfilling lives. My niche is women in transition – a role I know well, personally. I started my career in Education, enjoying great success first in teaching, then administration, and ultimately in private educational consulting. After having my children (three boys), I took a career break. Six years later, feeling the need for intellectual stimulation and professional challenge, I went to coaching school and became certified as a co-active coach at the Coaches Training Institute. I built a thriving private coaching and consulting practice called Be You Bravely, LLC where I helped woman-clients find clarity in chaos and develop goal-based, purposeful plans to implement into their daily lives. The result for these clients was better balance, more fulfillment and a life of renewed purpose and meaning.
When I met Susan, we realized that we could better help more women, by bringing together our complementary expertise. Through our Prepare to Launch U-branded online courses, webinars and live workshops, we are helping women (and the men who support them) find professional success and personal fulfillment along the continuum of work and life. Aside from our direct instructional work with PTLU students, Susan and I regularly collaborate with universities, Fortune 500 companies, and LinkedIn Learning where we are proprietary author-trainers. Like the students and audiences who come to us, Susan and I have both navigated maternity leaves, career breaks, career re-entry, flexible work and career pivots. We have truly “walked the walk” and we would be honored to be your guides!
