Coaching Companions began as a conversation we had in early 2007, where we realized that we shared a common yet inchoate dream. Over steaming cups of tea (and plenty of crispy ginger cookies), we expressed our desire to accompany women in the exploration of finding their own voice in a complex and demanding world. We wanted to walk alongside women (such as yourself) both figuratively and literally, and help to uncover your unique “magic.” Not just reveal it, but give it life and voice and purpose.

Our diverse backgrounds provide the yin and yang for our nascent joint venture. Kelly, our right-brain partner with a keen eye for the artistry of life, brings creativity and visual form to our ideas. As an author and life coach, Kelly weaves thoughts and ideas into beautiful expression. Sharon brings a comprehensive background in business and executive coaching. She relishes discovering the patterns and pathways that guide us (and sometimes block us), and forging new roads to learning. We both enjoy travel, hiking, kayaking, and the awesome sense of order juxtaposed with the riotous creativity found in nature. In our coaching work, we seek to combine our complementary gifts and talents, generously sprinkle with fun and laughter, and season with wisdom.

Like you, our insights are born out of life’s experiences that have brought us joy, sadness, loss, abundance, and humility. We share a passion for becoming who we were meant to be, and for sharing what we discover with others who in turn teach us so much. We hope you will join us along the way, as throughout the year we offer different opportunities for personal and professional growth. It will be our pleasure and privilege to walk alongside you.
