Kelly Wood
Leadership + Life Design
I work with individuals and teams to increase clarity, create awareness, understand communication + conflict in a deeper way and create positive, self driven outcomes.
Life Design | I work with people who are at crossroads and transitions. In our sessions together we explore what clients really want to create in their lives and then create a plan to get there. I have a special interest in inner critics + imposter syndrome, rest, values, and parenting using coaching techniques. My flagship and beloved course, Parent as Coach partners with parents to align to how they want to show up for their kids.
Leadership + Positive Culture | The culture in organizations has a huge influence on employee happiness and retention. I work with organizations, charities and teams to create a positive culture through learning and experiences based in values, communication, training in conflict and emotional intelligence. I am an executive + leadership coach.
​
I whole-heartedly love my work.
About Me
I have my Masters of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies focused on Organization Coaching, a Graduate Certificate from Royal Roads University in Advanced Coaching Practices and I am a Professionally Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation. I am a Neuro-linguistic Programming Master Practitioner, I'm Canadian partner in Core Strengths and an Emotional Intelligence 2.0 certified facilitator. I am so honoured to be a facilitator + mentor with Canada Coach Academy.
I design experiences for individuals and teams that inspire, create and explore with outcomes of empowerment, awareness, awakenings and forward movement. My corporate clients have included the National Arts Centre, University of Alberta, SoulFood, Campus Alberta Neuroscience, as well as Whitehorse's Heart of Riverdale Community Centre. I have worked as faculty and staff for Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity's Leadership Institute. ​
​
In individual Life Design sessions, I work with people who are going through transitions or at crossroads in their lives. My superpower resides in deeply listening and asking good questions that help my clients access the meaningful and authentic answers that reside inside them.
​
In previous lifetimes, I've owned and operated a sea kayaking business in Thailand, been to school in France, tracked wolves in the Canadian Rockies for scientific research, been a wrangler in the Rocky Mountains and has travelled and lived all over this beautiful world.
​
My pronouns are she/her. I'm a mom, a lifelong learner, and love my work in life design + leadership. My primary values are love, ease, courage, community and authenticity. ​
In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge as a white settler with privilege, that I live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
