With 22 years of experience in education and nonprofit leadership and as an ICF-certified coach, she helps leaders at all levels build the self-awareness, vision, and resilience needed to lead with purpose and impact.
As a former Chief Program Officer for an education nonprofit, Kelley didn’t just deliver results; she transformed how her team experienced leadership. 100% of her team reported that her leadership created a psychologically and emotionally healthy workplace, proving that strong leadership starts with how people feel, not just what they achieve.
Kelley works with leaders one-on-one and in teams, using her “Inside-Out Leadership” approach to build mental resilience and self-awareness first, so leaders can navigate complexity, communicate effectively, and lead high-achieving teams with confidence. Her clients often describe her coaching as “work therapy”, a space where they confront self-limiting beliefs, reconnect with their core values, and develop the leadership identity needed to thrive.
Kelley holds advanced degrees in Education and Leadership from Southern University A&M College and Louisiana State University. She is certified in the Positive Intelligence Training Program, CCL 360 Assessment, and DEI for Practitioners. She also serves as the Board Chair of a DC-based social justice nonprofit, bringing her commitment to equity and empowerment to every facet of her work.

Beyond her professional life, she finds joy in hiking the trails of New Hampshire, capturing the world’s beauty through photography, and dwelling in His Word, bringing the same curiosity, creativity, and depth to life as she does to leadership.
