Inspiring Conversations, Meaningful Change

Speaking & Facilitation across the Social Impact Sector

“I speak and facilitate because I believe the most powerful change starts with authentic conversations. When people feel truly heard and inspired, they’re more likely to take bold, meaningful action."”

With nearly two decades of experience across the social impact sector, from UN agencies to non-profits and philanthropic institutions, I’ve seen firsthand the power of authentic conversations and actionable insights. My passion lies in helping organizations like yours create spaces where ideas flow, collaboration thrives, and real change happens.

When I speak or facilitate, my goal is not just to share information, but to inspire action. Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or strategic retreat, I connect deeply with the audience and ensure that every session leads to meaningful outcomes.

Client Testimonials

Working with Kelsi was a real pleasure and a big eye opener, as a first time coaching experience unveiled. Her fantastic ability to listen and the jovial tone that lead our conversations made me very comfortable in opening up and paved the way for interesting views and alleys, that I could only think of with her guidance.

Razvan, Switzerland
Kelsi helped me to navigate a difficult transition in my career, when I was looking for a change but didn't know where to start. She expertly guided me through the process of identifying what I value professionally and exploring potential alternative career paths. Kelsi is a kind, encouraging and thoughtful career coach who understands first hand the challenges for women (and mothers) working in the aid sector and internationally. Thanks to her I have made a professional shift, and I am so grateful for her support.

Rosie, United Kingdom
It has been an absolute pleasure to have the coaching sessions with Kelsi, which have been as productive as they were pleasant. Kelsi is assertive, detail-oriented, and the sessions were well structured. Kelsi is very easy-going, empathetic, and effortless to connect with; key qualities when one must share personal private information. She helped me significantly to land ideas that were wandering in my mind and needed structure, which was crucial to achieving my objectives.

Vicente, Switzerland
Kelsi is a supportive and encouraging coach who helped me flip some of my limiting beliefs and take action. I am so grateful for her support, she helped me to gain clarity around my deepest priorities and uncover inspired actions to move me in the direction of my new identity as the CEO of my own practice, while being the mother, coach and teacher I desire to be.

Traci, USA
It's rare to find a coach who has been in leadership in the social impact sector, which causes so much burnout. Kelsi was empathetic, understood quickly my challenges, and offered great strategies and tips to reach my goals, as well as pushing me to think outside of my comfort zone on things that are actually important to me.
