I challenge my clients to grow, wherever they are on the journey
Welcome! I’m Kelsey Meyer Schalkle (I promise, that last name is easier than it looks - you just say “shock-ull”). As an executive coach, I serve clients across industries, helping them achieve life-changing personal and professional growth.
What people say
“I’m struck by your honesty. You’ve said some of the hardest things to me and helped me to work through them rather than avoid or defend. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone else thread the needle of honesty and warmth as well as you. It works because I truly believe you’re on my side.”
“Your ability to ask effective questions is a superpower. When I share a challenge, you have an incredible ability to ask questions that get to the heart of the issue. It’s an innate skill you have. Because of this, you are effective at not just listening but actually moving toward helpful insights and solutions.”
“Presenting to senior executives early in your career (50+ people), you navigated a high stakes environment with ease. You listen, understand the question asked (and the unspoken motivation beneath), enabling you to command a large audience and maintain focus and calm in potentially volatile environments.”
