Kelly L. Holm, Principal, Coach Kelly, LLC

She has also served on the boards of both non-profit and for-profit organizations. Based on the moniker earned during her in-house coaching work starting in early 1999, Kelly founded Coach Kelly with the goal to serve more leaders, teams and organizations as an independent coach.
