Who Chelsea works with
Chelsea works with solo business owners who have built real things but do not yet feel it is working. Many are coaches, consultants, therapists and solopreneurs. They are capable and give good advice to their own clients, but find their own business harder. They want a neutral outside mind to think with.
How Chelsea works
Chelsea starts by connecting your goals, purpose and values before she gets to strategy. She then looks at the list of things you believe must happen before you can act. Sessions focus on the smallest thing worth trying, not the perfect answer. A 4-session package meets weekly for 30 minutes over Zoom. A 6-session package meets every two weeks for 60 minutes. Both include email support between sessions for accountability.
Background and qualifications
Chelsea holds a PhD in developmental psychology and is an ICF-certified coach with the Associate Certified Coach credential. She has spent six years building her own business while working as a coach, researcher, writer and consultant. She has experimented and pivoted along the way, and recently wrote about a business pivot of her own. She knows self-employment from the inside, so she thinks problems through with clients as a partner.
