Reveal Your Real.
KALĪDE
Coaching & Consulting
Reveal your real.
Transform awareness into action.
Catalyze the unconventional.
The results you’re getting are reflections of the systems, stories, and strategies you’re running—internally and externally. When the status quo stops working, it's time to hack the patterns, shift the narrative, and infuse progress with purpose.​​​
​
Catalyzing real change starts by being radically honest about where we're stuck, struggling, or wanting more. ​Perceived shortcomings, problems, blind spots, and weaknesses are fertile ground for awareness, growth, and progress.
​
I am a strategic consultant and executive coach who helps high-achieving leaders, founders, and small business owners build better companies, relationships, and lives. I partner with bold, driven leaders who are ready to swap band-aid fixes and regurgitated business and leadership advice for human-centered insights and strategies that actually work long-term. I help people like you dig deep beneath the surface, reveal their real, and catalyze conscious decision-making that drives growth and transformation within themselves and in their organizations.
My approach is systems-based, working at the intersection of:
​
-
Organizational Development (diagnosing the real causes of stress, dysfunction, or stagnation)
-
Leadership strategy (creating leaders worth following—strategically and relationally)
-
Human behavior (leveraging thought patterns, group dynamics, and motivation for sustainable outcomes)
-
Truth-telling and transformation (facing what's real to create what’s next)
​
It's built on authenticity, strategic praxis, bold action, and genuine human connection. It's about empowering you to lead your business, your team, and your life from a place of clarity, strength, and purpose.​​​
What I Do
I blend rigorous systems thinking with real-world emotional intelligence to guide clients through stuck points and growth opportunities. I get in the trenches with you—to challenge, support, and help you brave uncharted territory—by:​
-
Uncovering blind spots
-
Designing human-centered systems
-
Building leadership capacity
-
Aligning vision, operations, and culture
​
This work isn't for the weak of heart. Transformation doesn't have to be painful, but it rarely happens in your comfort zone. If you're ready to dig in and do the work, I'm here to help.
​
Whether you need executive coaching, organizational clarity, strategic or operational support, or just someone to help you figure out the next right move—this is the place to start.
My Edge
I bring a unique combination of lived experience, formal training, and practical wisdom to the work we'll do together.​
-
25 years of Marine Corps leadership
My background in military intelligence and leadership sharpened my ability to see patterns, assess complex situations quickly, and make strategic decisions under pressure. I learned how to cut through noise, spot what others miss, and lead teams in high-stakes environments where trust, adaptability, and clear communication made the difference between mission success and failure. That kind of clarity isn't just useful in the field—it's essential in business. I bring that same analytical depth, strategic thinking, and the kind of leadership that moves people—and organizations—forward to the work I do with my clients.
-
Two decades of entrepreneurial success
I've built and run multiple successful businesses from the ground up—without outside funding, big teams, or easy roads. I understand the challenges and realities of being a small business owner because I've lived them. You won't have to explain the grind to me.
-
ICF-accredited coaching
Anyone can call themself a coach. ICF-accredited coaches are rigorously trained, tested, and held to a global standard. We're grounded in evidence-based practices, committed to ethics, and equipped to create real, lasting transformation—not just surface-level support.
-
Doctoral-level expertise
My advanced, research-based education in human behavior, cultural anthropology, and social dynamics reflects a deep, interdisciplinary mastery. This academic foundation gives me the strategic frameworks to help illuminate the patterns that drive individuals and organizations.
-
An action-driven systems-thinker
I see the connections between people, processes, and culture—and I don't just stop at insight. I help you implement real, sustainable change that aligns with your vision, identity, and values.

Coaching Services
Coaching is not advice-giving. It's not therapy. There's no hierarchy or power dynamic. It is forward-looking, strength-based, and driven by curiosity. Coaching is a relationship and process for people who desire support in deepening their self-awareness, catalyzing change, and reaching goals. As a coach, I bring explorer energy.
​
Sometimes we operate on autopilot, unaware of what’s going on within ourselves—unaware of the filters, narratives, limiting beliefs, energetic stuck points, etc. underlying our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Deepening self-awareness means becoming aware and mindful of those.
​
Coaching might be right for you if:
​
- You want someone to help you process your thoughts and ideas.
- You want to have someone shine a light on your blind spots.
- You want to gain clarity so you can move forward with intention and alignment.
Consulting Services
Consulting focuses on assessing problems, providing possibilities, making recommendations, and building solutions. It draws heavily on expertise and provides the guidance and tools to most effectively execute strategies. It often involves teaching processes or methods. As a consultant, I bring detective energy.
