Leadership is a Choice. Make it Yours.

Personalized coaching to help you grow with clarity and confidence—whether you're stepping into leadership, navigating change, or aiming for your next level.

Thanks for stopping by—I'm excited you're here!

I’m Kelleen, a leadership and career coach and the founder of Choose to Lead. I work with professionals who are navigating growth, change, or uncertainty, helping them lead with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Before launching my coaching practice, I spent over 15 years in talent acquisition and recruiting leadership, partnering with everyone from first-time managers to senior executives. I’ve seen firsthand what makes great leadership stick, and I’ve also seen how easy it is to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misaligned when you're trying to grow into your next chapter. That’s what brought me to coaching, I want to partner with people like you to pause the noise, ask the bigger questions, and move forward with purpose. Clients often tell me they feel both energized and grounded after our sessions. I’m warm, approachable, and direct, with just enough structure to help you make meaningful progress, and just enough space to help you think deeply about what matters most. I’m so glad you’re here—and I’d love to support you on your leadership or career journey.

What is Coaching, and is it for me?

Maybe you’ve heard the word “coaching” thrown around or follow a few coaches online, but you’re not totally sure what it means or if it’s something you need.
Coaching with Choose to Lead is for people who want more clarity, more confidence, more purpose in their work and leadership. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, feeling stuck, navigating change, or dreaming about what’s next, coaching gives you a space to slow down, reflect, and take intentional steps forward.
This is not advice-giving or a quick fix. It’s powerful, personalized support that meets you where you are and helps you get where you want to go.
I’m not here to push or preach. I’m here to listen deeply, reflect what I see, and ask questions that help you unlock insight and growth. Each session is tailored to you and always ends with actions you feel ready to take.
If you’re ready to lead with more intention, or to create a career that feels aligned with who you are, coaching might be exactly what you need.
