“I have enjoyed Chelese facilitating my small group of women that meets monthly. It has been a transformative experience for me, and much of that transformation came from the facilitation style that guided our journey. The space created was one of deep reflection, trust, and authenticity—where every conversation felt intentional and meaningful. Through Chelese’s thoughtful guidance, I was encouraged to explore my relationship with myself i.e. what I want and need in my professional experiences, sometimes addressing the unexpected and more often reframing success. Our group has helped me take necessary steps toward crafting my next chapter with clarity and confidence. The facilitation approach was both gentle and empowering, providing just the right balance of structure and openness to allow for true self-discovery.”

“For the past 3 years, I have been fortunate to have Chelese as my Group Guide as part of my Chief experience. Chelese has a wonderful ability to connect with each participant while simultaneously fostering a collegial group environment. She is extremely thoughtful in her preparation and approach to our sessions and always has an outcome in mind. She regularly helps me to sort through challenges in a way that leads me to actionable next steps. For the collective group, she finds a balance allowing us to constructively challenge one another, but in a manner which brings positive outcomes. Chelese understands the challenge of the business world and brings her professional experience to our group. Each session with Chelese is insightful, motivating, and tailored to our unique business and personal challenges. I highly recommend Chelese to facilitate meaningful conversations that produce actionable results.”

“I was extremely fortunate to work with Chelese during a transformative period in my career. Chelese is an exceptional coach in every sense of the word. Her coaching methods extend beyond mentorship and guidance. Chelese dedicates time to authentically get to know her clients as individuals, grounding her sessions in offering insights into their behavior, motivations, and decision-making. From the initial intake form to subsequent sessions, Chelese helped me set realistic goals and understand what drives my job satisfaction, ultimately promoting practices that foster professional development. She integrates career success with personal growth, and as a result, tailored my story to align with my professional goals. In every session, Chelese actively listened to my concerns and employed reflective questioning along with a client-centered approach to help me navigate career challenges and opportunities. It is evident that Chelese truly cares about her clients’ well-being, and I highly recommend her skillset to anyone in need of a top-tier advisor and coach. I cannot thank her enough!”

Chelese’s thoughtful questions helped me cut through the daily chaos of my organization. I gained a clearer perspective on my work, which reignited my enthusiasm for my role and my team. She didn’t give me all the answers – instead, she guided me to find them myself. That made all the difference.”

I had the opportunity to work with Chelese as my executive coach. She has great listening skills and the ability to direct her clients toward their “True North” She was an excellent accountability partner, and I always looked forward to our sessions. I highly recommend Chelese if you’re seeking an executive coach with a “whole person” approach.

Working with Chelese has been transformative for my leadership journey. Through our sessions, I’ve developed stronger communication skills, learned to navigate complex situations with diplomacy, and gained invaluable insights into energy management. Chelese’s guidance has helped me become more consistent in my leadership approach, fostering a positive mindset that extends beyond my professional life. Her support has been instrumental in my growth as a leader, empowering me to tackle challenges with confidence and clarity.

I attribute my success in various difficult seasons of my career to Chelese, for her wisdom and guidance. She has impeccable character and energy that leaves me in a positive and encouraged mindset every time we end a session. Chelese is not only an amazing coach but an amazing human that deeply cares for others. She could very well give me answers and solutions but she is passionate about ensuring I stick to my True North, keeping me in a purpose driven mindset. Chelese has truly been a haven sent to me professionally and personally. A pure gem.

Chelese played a pivotal role in my growth as a leader. Chelese was supportive, understanding, and incredible to work with. She asked pointed, insightful questions to really help me expand beyond my comfort zone, and she provides me with tools and thoughtful strategies that I continue to use in my work and life. I would not be where I am today without the fantastic support and partnership I received from Chelese. And I am so appreciative of the experience that I had working together with her: I’d recommend Chelese to anyone seeking to step into their potential.
