    I was stuck in a hamster wheel, and without Kellie, I would probably still be going around. As a new business owner, it's hard when you feel like you have to be the best in everything. I felt trapped, blocked in my own business. Her first step was to provide me with clarity. I got a crystal-clear vision of what my business is and what I need to do in order to get better results.

    After our conversation, I felt relaxed and uplifted, gaining clarity exactly when needed. Her thoughtfulness, empathy, and ability to provide perspective are unmatched. It’s rare to find someone so grounded, yet insightful. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with her and look forward to future sessions.

    Leaving corporate was the easy part... figuring out who I was on the other side was harder. I had so many ideas, but no clear structure. Kellie helped me see what I was uniquely equipped to offer and how to move forward with clarity. Her questions, insight, and calm presence made the shift feel real and possible.

Hi, I’m Kellie. I work with people standing in the messy middle of change… professionals who are capable, ambitious, and resourceful, yet suddenly feel stuck when the next step isn’t obvious. I know that space well. I’ve lived and worked across four countries, led teams through uncertainty, and rebuilt my own career more than once. I’ve seen in myself and others that the most challenging part of change isn’t the ability, but the perspective. You can be skilled and accomplished, but when you’re too close to the problem, the path forward blurs. That’s where I come in. I help you pause, zoom out, and see your situation with fresh eyes. Together, we shape the words, strategy, and direction that turn “I don’t know what’s next” into “I know where I’m going, and I’m ready for it.” My role isn’t to hand you answers. It’s to ask better questions, draw out clarity, and give you practical frameworks so you can make confident decisions and build a roadmap that fits. And because perspective comes easiest when you step back, you’ll usually find me recharging outdoors or swapping stories with people over a virtual coffee.

Your Journey To Confident Decisions

  • STEP 1: FOUNDATION

    Starting with a framework turns scattered ideas into a strategy you can trust. Your Northlight Foundation introduces the Northlight Change Cycle™ and provides a structure for your career transition. You’ll see where you are, what matters most, and how to approach decisions with purpose.

  • STEP 2: PERSPECTIVE

    A complementary conversation that applies the Northlight lens to your situation. We identify the problem, sort through options, and determine what deserves your attention. When you’re too close to the work, it’s hard to see patterns. Perspective turns proximity into clarity, enabling you to make an immediate, aligned decision.

    Perspective is Calling 

  • STEP 3: INSIGHTS

    Strategy notes and clarity prompts. Join the conversations, ask questions, and refine your message with a growing community. Clarity compounds with practice, so use this space to keep your decisions aligned with your goals and to see how the Northlight principles show up in your work and in the journeys of others.

I work with professionals, leaders, consultants, and solopreneurs navigating change. Whether that’s a layoff, pivot, or a new chapter. If you’re in the messy middle of a transition, this is for you.

Your Northlight Journey consists of five sessions. You can complete them in one week or spread them over five, depending on your pace and schedule.
