Kelli Reese is an author and certified leadership coach. She works privately with women in management and executive roles to finally free them from the chronic self-worth issues holding them back. In her research, she's discovered that what's keeping soulful, empathic women from thriving in the high-level leadership roles they were born to succeed in isn't "imposter syndrome": it's childhood shame cycles - a confidence-destroying feeling of never being enough. Through Kelli's signature method, she's helping women stay in their roles and get the recognition (and the fulfillment) they deserve. Her clients feel more like themselves than ever while having the impact they're meant to have.
