About Kelly Soifer

For nearly 40 years I have guided professionals through profound personal and career transformations as a catalyst for developing transformational leaders. My coaching has spanned generations: from boomer executives in the C-Suite up to Gen Z\'ers launching into their 21st century careers.My personalized approach blends professional development with an empathetic exploration of your identity, values and purpose. I provide emotionally intelligent coaching to those navigating major inflection points - dealing with frustrations, shifting motivations, or seeking to make a greater impact by passing wisdom to new generations. I seek to help individuals to look at yourself first, not the market, in order to clarify your goals and long-term motivation.Whether working across corporate, non-profit, entrepreneurial or academic spheres globally, I facilitate profound growth by reuniting clients with their core selves and co-creating a vision for impact in their next chapter. My services range from 1-on-1 coaching to more comprehensive programs for your teams and organization overall.Certified by the International Coaching Federation, I utilize assessments like StrengthsFinder, guided exercises, and an executive coaching methodology refined over decades of maximizing potential in individuals and organizations. I am also very familiar with Covey\'s 7 Habits, Erin Meyer\'s Culture Map, team building & collaboration (especially with distributed & remote teams), staff training & mentoring, onboarding, emotional intelligence & soft skills. Last but not least:> my top 5 CliftonStrengths are Activator, Strategic, Maximizer, Individualization, Input;> my DISC style is DI;> I\'m an Enneagram 8w9;> my MBTI is ENFJ.
