TRANSFORMATIVE


Working with Wander might be one of the highlights not just of my career - but perhaps my adult life. Her insights, intuition and sensitivity to the kind of person I am and hope (and have skills) to become leave me awe-struck.
— Director, Cambia Health Solutions
Working with Kelly changed my life, and she was exactly what I needed when I needed it. She is a new type of leader that we need in this world.
— Founder & Owner | Certified B Corporation
Kelly’s ability to connect in a meaningful way created a safe space to be completely vulnerable to help me grow. Truly a life changing experience that I never thought was possible in a professional environment.
— Chief Marketing and Product Officer, Health Plan
Part coach, part therapist, world-class empath, all human - I cannot thank Kelly enough, and recommend her with all my heart and head.
— Director, Autonomic
I’m absolutely walking away as a different person. Kelly’s coaching helped me come face-to-face with choices I have repeatedly made to derail my day-to-day, projects at work, relationships, even my game on the court, and most importantly, my ability to love and accept who I am and aspire to be.
— Global Senior Communications Manager, Microsoft
I set out to grow as a leader, but I found myself growing my entire person. Cannot express the value of this partnership.
— Founder & Owner | Early Childhood Development Center
Working with Wander was the highlight of my year, a commitment for both personal and professional development that was invaluable in relation to cost. To say that this experience was transformative does not do Kelly’s work justice!
— Manager, West Monroe Partners
Working with Wander was like nothing I’ve experienced, and everything I needed. Kelly goes beyond prescriptive, compartmentalized advice I have received from previous coaches and classes, and instead offers holistic, deeply personalized, and values based coaching that helps people identify their true essence. Kelly is more than a coach - she is a spirit guide.
— Data Scientist, Qualtrics

COURAGEOUSLY AUTHENTIC


Kelly is a truth teller. She has this innate ability to read others, identify their blockers/blind spots, and help them see their own path forward. Deeply curious, caring, and with a high level of integrity, this combination makes her a powerhouse at developing others!
— Senior HR Director, Nike
Kelly does not shy away from delivering the difficult messages required to help the individual or team be successful. She drills down the heart of the issue and presents the tough questions that help me gain a better understanding of the situation and myself, giving me the courage to move forward.
— SVP & Delivery Executive, TD Bank
When I think of Kelly, I think of a powerful, strong, and daring woman who’s playing big in her life and her career. She’s a coach who’s able to hold space for hard times, who will celebrate and cheer you forward, and who won’t hesitate to call out the hard things that others might be afraid to name. Her range is astounding.
— Founder & CEO, Startup
What sets Kelly apart is how wide her coaching range is. She’s mastered coaching others how to exhibit compassion, vulnerability, and empathy, while equally coaching how to lead with extreme courage, stepping into your power, and holding yourself and others accountable. She’ll get you to discover your action and hold you to your commitments!
— Director, Nike

PERSONALIZED APPROACH


Kelly’s ability to work with and coach leaders for growth and to meet their self-defined objectives is powerful. If you are interested in bringing a top professional executive leadership coach in to work with you or other executives, I highly recommend connecting with Kelly and The Wander Project.
— President, Regence
As a founding partner and leader of a consultancy, I was under a lot of pressure and prioritizing became a challenge. Kelly gave me a different point of view. I found better balance in my work and personal life and learned to slow down enabling me to accomplish more. My only regret, I wish I found Kelly earlier in my career.
— Founding Partner & Chief Commercial Officer, Startup
Kelly has this aura about the way she engages with you, and its beyond her certifications. She has an innate ability to connect with you at a much deeper level that focuses on you as a whole person. It allows you to explore a different element of yourself that maybe you hadn’t explored before.
— Director of Strategy & Growth, Startup
Kelly has a beautiful way of inspiring trust - she has tremendous intuition and allowed our time together to ebb and flow without the constraints of a rigid agenda. The single best investment I have ever made in myself!
— Senior Manager, T Mobile
When Kelly and I worked together, I found myself at a crossroad. She empathized with how I was feeling while helping me focus on how I could apply my experience and strengths in ways that were more meaningful to me. If you are looking for a coach, I highly recommend connecting with Kelly.
— Program Manager, Amazon
Kelly is an energetic and focused coach who is 100% dedicated to what you want to accomplish. She’s great at getting you to understand your true strengths and how to contribute more powerfully as a leader in all aspects of your life. Never afraid to tell you the truth, Kelly holds you accountable for your own transformation.
— Director & Practice Leader, Management Consulting
Kelly was instrumental in elevating the talent of one of my direct reports. I would hire Kelly again and again and you most assuredly will see a return on investment for any client of hers, both personally and professionally.
— Senior Manager, West Monroe Partners
Kelly is a phenomenal coach, deeply knowledgeable in leadership development and executive coaching, more importantly, personable. She used her strengths to guide me through my own leadership journey, and that impact has continued to be profound. I could not recommend Kelly more highly.
— Learning & Development Consultant, Experian
