About Chelsea:

I value having fun, exploring new things, accepting and loving community, getting outside, and focusing on what matters. In work, I am focused on helping leaders, companies, entrepreneurs, and coaches turn ideas into practices to achieve their goals.

Why Coaching

I have the unique background of exclusively working for or on C-Suite and leadership teams in a variety of industries, with services and products, both B2B and B2C. I have worked at 100+ year organizations in 5 different countries and also companies growing rapidly based in the US. I am very skilled at systems thinking and problem-solving, and prefer working hands-on in a person-to-person collaborative environment. My strong drive and ambition to work with others to solve complex problems naturally drew me to the powerful partnership of coaching, and my unique experience working alongside C-suite across a variety of industries suited me well for leadership coaching. 

I find leadership coaching endlessly fulfilling and exciting because of the nuance and complexity of leadership. Specifically, the unique challenges and opportunities when leading people who are multi-faceted with lives and needs while also driving towards the goals and KPIs of the business.

Working with Chelsea

My style as a coach is a unique balance. I am 60% directive and 40% partnering. I like to create an environment to ask thought-provoking open questions for my clients to dive deep into their goals and own self-awareness, but I am also comfortable being more directive and hands-on if it serves the topic at hand.

My communication style is direct and challenging while also being fun, working to find the light in difficult situations to search for opportunities over problems. I often say people are weird and always changing. Leadership is a practice of awareness and experimentation to observe progress toward goals, not a skill for mastery. 

Together, we will explore and discover opportunities and develop tangible next steps and impactful changes so you can observe progress toward your goals.
