Consultant and Coach

Hello, I’m Kelly Cline, and I help organizations build and implement talent strategy, programs and technology solutions. I’ve spent the past two decades leading talent management, organizational development, HR technology, and change initiatives for global organizations across a variety of industries.

Let’s Talk!

I’d love to learn more about your needs to build capability, enhance performance, or increase effectiveness.  Schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can help you or your organization!

What’s My Secret Sauce?

  • Fluency in Strategy and Delivery: I shift between organizational strategy and hands-on execution without missing a beat, and I genuinely enjoy both types of work.
  • Unshakeable Focus on Results: Ideas and strategy matter, but I measure success by what gets delivered, not what was intended.
  • Direct Communication: I’ll tell you the thing you don’t want to hear, because avoiding it rarely makes the project, or the person, better off in the end.
  • Real Love of Project Management: A clear governance structure or a status report that actually tells you something makes me happy. I mean it when I say I nerd out over a well-run project (PMP and Prosci certified, and proud of it).
  • Helping Others Grow: Whether coaching an executive through a transition or mentoring a project team through their first major go-live, watching someone build confidence and skills along the way is one of the best parts of my work.
