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. My passion is helping professionals navigate growth, change, and uncertainty—supporting them in leading with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Before launching my coaching and leadership development practice, I spent over 15 years in talent acquisition and recruiting leadership, partnering with individuals from first-time managers to senior executives. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what drives effective leadership—and the challenges that can make professional growth feel overwhelming or unclear.

My approach is collaborative and rooted in curiosity. Together, we’ll dig into the root causes of what’s holding you back, clear away distractions, and create space to ask the important questions about your leadership or career. I believe real growth starts when you have the tools and support to move forward with intention and purpose.

I’m so glad you’re here—and I’d welcome the opportunity to support you on your leadership or career journey.

What is Coaching? And is it for me?

Curious about coaching and whether it’s the right fit for you? Maybe you’ve heard the term before or seen coaches online, but you’re still not sure how it actually works—or what’s in it for you.

Coaching with Choose to Lead is about more than talking through challenges. It’s an opportunity to gain real clarity, confidence, and purpose in your work and leadership. If you’re starting a new role, feeling stuck, navigating change, or considering your next step, coaching provides a dedicated space to slow down, reflect, and move forward intentionally.

Here’s how coaching can benefit you:

  • Clear, actionable goals: Together, we break your challenges into manageable steps, so you always know what to focus on next.

  • Objective perspective: Coaching helps you see blind spots, reframe setbacks, and recognize opportunities that might be hiding in plain sight.

  • Personalized support: Sessions are tailored to your needs and aspirations, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

  • Accountability: I help you define practical actions and follow through, so progress feels steady and real.

  • Deeper self-awareness: You’ll learn what truly drives you, what gets in your way, and how to build on your strengths with intention.

Coaching isn’t about quick fixes or giving advice. It’s thoughtful, individualized support that meets you where you are and helps you get where you want to go. My approach is collaborative—I listen deeply, ask questions that spark insight, and create space for you to unlock your own solutions. Every session wraps up with concrete actions that you choose and feel ready to take.

If you want to lead with more intention or shape a career that feels truly aligned with who you are, coaching might be exactly what you need.
