Burnout nearly cost me everything.
Not just my healthâmy life.
And the coaching world didnât see it coming.
Â
The moment that changed everything wasnât even my own collapse.
It was the death of the person hired to replace me.
That was the wake-up callâthe one that made my mission to end Burnout non-negotiable.
Because hereâs what no one wants to admit:
Coaches are out here using goal-setting and mindset tools on clients whose nervous systems are in survival mode.
Burnout isnât being tired.
Itâs an identity collapse.
And the traditional coaching world is still missing it.
Hi I'm Kelly!
On paper I had it all, the success, the status and the salary. But I hadn't realised just how much the toxic work environments were stealing my brightness, my health and my happiness.
My first Burnout made me seriously ill and my second almost killed me. Now I'm on a mission to ensure that nobody else has to jeopardise their life for their career by training coaches and leaders in spotting the signs and learning the tools to beat Burnout.
I'm daring to imagine a world where Burnout is no longer a badge of honour. Where leaders lead - without sacrificing themselves.  Where coaches coach - whilst preventing Burnout.  And where success is measured by impact not exhaustion.Â
I'm the Burnoutologist. A straight talking, no-nonsense, global Burnout educator and creator of the Burnout Academy.
This is where Burnout ends!

"Kelly is inspirational, determined, and delivers. Don't work with Kelly unless you really want to achieve your outcomes or dreams as she will not let you give up. No nonsense, strategic, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Kelly"

BOOK ME TO SPEAK"From our very first conversation, I thought Kelly was a mind reader, or psychic or something. I quickly came to realize that she just really understands you at a really deep level. I'm forever grateful for her support and I will be working with her again."
Jocelyn K.
CHRO
"Iâve worked with Kelly as my coach since July 2017 and her help and support has been absolutely invaluable. Kelly has enabled me to develop a greater understanding of my own ownership of each situation I am being coached through and I find it satisfying to come to my own solutions.Coaching has given me a huge amount of confidence as I now know that I do have âthe answersâ and Iâve enjoyed working with Kelly to get to these. Not all the solutions I have come up with have worked (far from!) but with Kellyâs direct but supportive approach Iâve been able to then use subsequent coaching sessions with Kelly to reflect on why the solution wasnât successful and put those leaningsâ into practice for next time. Iâd highly recommend Kelly."
Amy Sowinska
Global Head of HR
"I reached Burnout and turned 40 during the pandemic, two months before Kelly also reached the big 4-0, and I couldn't navigate my way back to me. Kelly helped me to see that I've been here all along, and now I'm working less, earning more, and I'm fitter and healthier than ever. Thank you!!"
Racheal T.
CPO and NED
"I absolutely love my job and I didn't want to quit, but I wanted more time for myself and to spend more time on my other passions and interests. I couldn't see a way to make it all work and thought I'd be let go if I really asked for what I wanted. My CEO was so supportive, and Kelly has helped me navigate a three-day work week and my life."
Jessica Warran
Executive Director
"I didn't realise what I needed to change until I heard Kelly speak and I knew instantly I needed to see if she could help me. One promotion, a big salary increase, a new house and a divorce later, and I'm so pleased I reached out, and that she said yes. "
Kemi K
HR Director
"I wanted some help with my career choices and needed some help in adapting to leadership roles. Kelly has been fabulous in encouraging me to think about my beliefs and ideas from a different perspective and has given me the encouragement I needed to carry on"
Sophie Jasudasen
Consultant
"Iâve been working with Kelly as my coach for a number of months now, and I have to say that she is absolutely wonderful. She has supported my growth and development, given me confidence and really helped me to see opportunities that I was letting pass me by. I chose Kelly as my coach because she has a fantastic background and wealth of experience, and her style very much fits with mine. Kelly has taken the time to understand my needs, my concerns and my motivators and the time Iâve spent with her has been invaluable. Kelly has genuinely been a huge part of what has probably been one of my most challenging years in terms of career and growth, and I couldnât have wished for a better person to be at my side. I really feel that Kellyâs skill in getting to the root of the problem quickly (as well as her super engaging and authentic style) has meant that we have been able to deliver results very quickly, and I can see the changes in myself and my business. Iâd highly recommend Kelly."
Michelle Hartley
HR Consultant
"Kelly is an excellent coach who mentored and guided me to a new level of personal development. I had âmanagedâ for many years, but had not yet focused on leadership. I was working in an management role and was considering aiming for the position of CEO. Kellyâs style is very consistent and empowering, which worked perfectly for me and has a way of working that teases out confidence and hidden skills. I initially assumed that I would be working with an adviser, but what I got was much more. Kelly has a skill to help to see things in a different light, I became focused on the personal and professional changes that I needed to make to become more effective and start making leadership decisions. I would not hesitate in recommending Kelly."
Rachel Morris
CEO
"I attended Kelly's 'Power Up22' event this week and have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect. I was blown away; I laughed (in a belly chuckle way), I cried, I was challenged, I challenged others, met some truly brilliant women and came away feeling like a different person. It was definitely a power-full day which has shifted the way I think. It was one of those experiences which will stay with me for a long time. Kelly facilitated the day in such a way that it felt safe right from the start, in fact I think I was in tears within the first hour! She has a real presence which radiates confidence, warmth and trust and before you know it you're doing things which you wouldn't have thought possible. I will be returning next year without a doubt and highly recommend it to anyone even half considering going. Power Up '23? I'll be there!"

"I'd just come back from my second maternity leave and I didn't feel like I belonged in the workplace anymore. Turns out, I wasn't the problem. I made Managing Partner in six months and I am the happiest I've ever been."
