What people are saying.

  • "Kaley was an integral member of our wellness business concept that we built from the ground up. It was both a passion project as well as our primary income source. She immediately grasped the concept and helped bring to life the culture we envisioned. She was exceptional at hearing out a vision, identifying the necessary tools and personnel to build it, and then creating the infrastructure to bring it to life. She treated "our baby" as her own. I also appreciated that she handled directives (and heard greivances) from very different communication styles, allowing her to bring the puzzle pieces together seamlessly. She is quite literally the hardest worker I have ever met, but you'll almost not notice because of the ease at which she operates. Throw in the quickest wit this side of the Mississippi, and you'll be thrilled you've hired this delightful human being to find your highest performance levels.

    — Delynn Davidson

  • "Beyond the operational changes that I was looking to make, Kaley fostered a positive and dynamic team culture, instilling a sense of purpose and collaboration that has been key to our sustained success. Her ability to "just get it" and deliver results was truly remarkable. She is not just a leader, but a visionary who has instilled a new confidence in me and also has been instrumental in the turnaround of my business."

    — Stan Jacobs

  • “Kaley has an uncanny ability to quickly understand and address needs with clarity. Her ease of communication and relentless drive to find solutions were the key reasons we hired her, and her impact was immediate. As we grow, we are already planning to book her again to make sure we are growing smart and not out of our shoes."

As an independent professional, I offer something that big firms often can’t: personalized, high-touch service tailored to your unique goals. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions—I take the time to understand your business from the inside out and develop strategies that are both practical and impactful.

Working with a boutique consultancy means faster turnarounds, greater transparency, and a direct line to the person actually doing the work. I’m not just a deal-closer who hands you off to a junior team—I’m your dedicated partner from start to finish, fully invested in your success.

Below, you’ll find a bit more about my experience and the outcomes I’ve delivered for clients. I’d love to help drive your next successful turnaround—and add your story to the portfolio.

Teaching and Communication Experience

Public Speaking Instructor, University Level
As a graduate teaching assistant, I led multiple sections of a freshman-level public speaking course, delivering curriculum focused on effective communication, persuasive speaking, and audience engagement. This experience sharpened my ability to break down complex ideas, coach individuals with varying skill levels, and create a structured environment for growth — all essential qualities I bring to leadership development and team training initiatives.

I was honored to be recognized as Teaching Assistant of the Year, an award reflecting both my dedication to student success and my effectiveness in fostering confidence and clarity in communication — skills I now help professionals cultivate in the workplace.

Bridging Education and Leadership
Training is a cornerstone of leadership. My foundation in teaching has translated directly into my consulting work, where I lead workshops, coach executives, and develop learning experiences that empower teams. Whether I’m facilitating a strategy session or mentoring emerging leaders, clients can expect that my years of instructional experience will ensure ideas resonate, goals align, and their people grow.

Transformational Leadership in Action

From Debt to Growth: Culture, Strategy & Vision
When I joined PHD Management, the organization was facing a serious crossroads: over $400,000 in debt, high employee turnover, and a toxic and skeptical culture that stifled innovation. Through a focused, values-driven approach to leadership, we turned the tide — transforming the internal culture and growing annual revenue by 600%.

Culture as a Foundation
One of the first and most crucial steps was rebuilding trust within the team. By emphasizing transparency, listening deeply, and demonstrating true operational leadership, my greatest pride was shifting the workplace from a high-stress, low-loyalty environment to one where people were motivated, invested, and stayed. Strong employee retention became not just a metric, but a competitive advantage.

Strategic Growth in a Niche Market
Our product was highly specialized with relatively limited competition — but also a very narrow audience. Success came from recognizing that traditional marketing wouldn’t work. Instead, we identified and leveraged a word-of-mouth strategy within a tightly connected community, building relationships, trust, and a reputation that scaled organically.

This experience reinforced a core belief I bring to every project: organizational transformation comes from aligning people, purpose, and process. Whether I'm leading cultural change or guiding a strategy pivot, I work to uncover what's possible — even in the most challenging environments.

Strategic Scalable Impact

Program Co-Founder & Director
I led the development and expansion of a school-based preventative dental care program serving underserved children across Colorado — a mission-critical initiative focused on accessibility, early intervention, and community health.

Launching this program required extensive cross-sector collaboration: negotiating with school districts, contracting with Medicaid and multiple insurance carriers, meeting strict compliance standards, and building scalable infrastructure for mobile operations. I recruited and managed cross-functional teams to deliver a consistent, high-quality product.

Innovation in a Mobile Model
Operating a mobile healthcare program came with complex logistics: sourcing portable equipment, coordinating multi-site schedules, and maintaining compliance in a highly regulated field. Attention to detail, systems thinking, and operational foresight were all key to successful execution.

Navigating Crisis, Relaunching Stronger
When COVID-19 halted in-school programming, we were forced to pause operations — but not our mission. In 2024, when securing even larger contracts, led the relaunch of the program with improved systems, greater geographic reach, and renewed momentum. Today, the program serves more children than ever before, expanding access to care where it’s needed most.

This experience reflects my ability to lead large-scale initiatives with operational rigor, stakeholder alignment, and mission-driven strategy — all essential qualities clients can expect from me.

Leadership Lived

For decades, I’ve led from the front — whether in formal roles or in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments. My experience spans diverse industries, but the throughline is always the same: leadership, connection, and results.

  • Sales Leadership: In high-pressure commission sales environments, I consistently rose to the top — not just hitting numbers, but building relationships that fueled long-term business.

  • Entrepreneurship in Wellness: I was fortunate to be a part of the launching of a state-of-the-art hot yoga studio, pioneering the use of humidity technology and delivering high-end wellness experiences — from daily classes to certified teacher trainings to coveted international retreats. The studio remains a successful, beloved space in the community, known for its elevated brand and strong client culture.

  • Community Leadership and Volunteer Engagement: For the past four years, I’ve proudly served on the board of a youth swim team with over 200 athletes — a role that reflects my deep commitment to community, youth development, and collaborative leadership. As Volunteer Coordinator and Communications Chair, I oversee volunteer operations, manage team-wide communications, and help ensure the success of meets, events, and ongoing team development. I live a lifestyle of leadership, community engagement, and operational coordination.

These moments — some informal, some highly structured — all speak to the core of how I lead: with presence, perspective, and a commitment to excellence. I bring this grounded, real-world wisdom to every client engagement, blending strategic insight with personal authenticity.
