Kelli Thompson leadership executive coach for women

 

HEY!

I'M KELLI 

​

​

IT'S TIME TO BOOST YOUR PEACE, YOUR POTENTIAL & YOUR PAYCHECK.

I HELP HIGH ACHIEVERS TRANSFORM INTO CLEAR, CONFIDENT & INFLUENTIAL LEADERS.

 AS FEATURED IN: 

in 2019 i left my 9-5 on a mission to advance LEADERS. Why?

I spent nearly 20 years in corporate America, working primarily in financial services and banking. I started in phone sales, working my way up as a trainer, human resources consultant and ultimately oversaw the human resources function of a healthcare technology firm. I coached leaders and my professional development programs won industry awards for producing strong results and ROI. I even spent time teaching Management courses at the University.

​

I love building new development programs and coaching strategies that help leaders create influence and drive results. I also have a special perspective of knowing what it's like to be one of the only women in male dominated fields. My ultimate vision is to see the number of women equal to men in the rooms where decisions are made.

​

In 2019, I left my 9-5 to pursue my passion full time – coaching and training leaders to reach their full potential and advance to the rooms where decisions are made.
