KELLY WOOD
LEADERSHIP +
LIFE DESIGN
I work with individuals and teams to increase their clarity, create awareness, understand communication and 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 am trained and work with a strength and solution focus.
Building 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 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 an Erickson Certified Life Coach, Neuro-linguistic Programming Master Practitioner, I'm certified in Strengths Deployment Inventory and an Emotional Intelligence 2.0 certified facilitator. I am so honoured to be a facilitator + mentor with Canada Coach Academy.
I'm a strengths and solutions-based life design and leadership coach. 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.
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.
I am so proud to be a volunteer coach with Up With Women. The women I work with have experienced homelessness and are on their way to creating a new life for themselves. This work is in line with my mission of supporting women, and especially single moms, as they navigate transitions, decisions, dreams and possibilities. Please support Up With Women here.
