kite & anchor: who, What & Why?

Lover Of People. I started working at age 7 with my father in his Tastee Freeze restaurants, and haven’t looked back since. I’ve had LOTS of different jobs that in many ways I fell in love with & which made me who I am today. I’ve always enjoyed working. . . Feeling accomplished when I see other people succeed. Treating people better than they expect to be treated. Being challenged daily to learn more by growing in my own knowledge, skills & abilities both personally & professionally!

Kite & Anchor is a people centered Advertising, Communications, Human Resources & Strategic Marketing coaching business that passionately believes in exceeding others expectations. In all my professional positions, I've always learned by doing - and succeeding by being part of the process. I am a firm believer that this makes for the best mutual experience in any working partnership. I won't do the work for you, but I will be there with you every step of the way assisting you in doing the hard things to meet your goals. 

“Why Hire Me?” there are tons of “consultant like coaches” out there for you to work with. And depending I’m sure you could find some really good ones. I just have a different vibe. I hold you accountable to a different standard. I have expectations, but we will have a freakin blast together. I’m fun. I’m curious. I like to watch people meet their goals. I can deliver results in all that I do. I love to celebrate wins. Challenges inspire me. And you won’t be terribly bored doing the hard stuff, because I will be there with you. Just like I am with my students. My players. Leadership is something that I take very seriously, and other Leaders know that best. It’s cool to ask for help. It’s cool to work with mutually beneficial people who bring something awesome to the table. Iron sharpens iron. . .

MEET YOUR COACH.

Hi, I’m Kelsi

Growing up as an athlete - coaching was always something I valued. From my very first youth soccer coach in 5th grade, to my high school & college softball coaches, I remember them all. They may not have all been the best, But, I learned something from each and every one. I swore to myself one day when I became a coach ALL the things I would do differently. Then, I did just that. I realized that no matter your skill level, or years on the field, there is ALWAYS something more that can be learned. And sometimes it just takes someone who thinks a bit differently to get you there.

See, the coach isn’t there to play the game for you. No, we all know that. But then when it comes to business, WHY do we expect people to do the job for us? Think back, even if you have never played sports before, the coach is going to give you the best knowledge, tools, tips & tricks the pros use. The tried and true, the innovative, and even the new & different ideas along with strategy for you to play to the best of your ability.

Of course the end goal is to win - no matter the sport. But, in my experience, I have learned there are sometimes more impactful lessons in losing. When things don't work out like you practice, you have to figure out a way to come back from it - not just by yourself, but along with your entire team, including the coach. 

Kite & Anchor exists to Coach you & your team towards Winning Success . . .

OK COOL. BUT WHAT DO I ACTUALLY DO?

I love that this is a question I get asked A LOT! To which I respond back with. . . ‘What do you think I do?’ It’s like a fun little psychological survey. And it helps me to know my own blind spots as a business owner too. Where & what to communicate with my target audience. Most people know at least one thing that I do. Which is great. . . However, I doubt anyone really could ever know what I might do next? I'm open to all opportunities, and choose projects I feel a certain level of excitement & responsibility for.

I work with all industries in Communication related services - Teaching, training & Instructing all with a special flair. Popular topics for ALL levels of leaders - management teams & supervisors as well as full employment teams. I offer professional & customized development training for organizations in workforce skills including (but not limited to): communication, customer service, emotional intelligence, leadership, management & supervision.

The Coaching Model - Think about the word consultant versus coach. . . Which one resonates with you? Like me, if you played sports and had the opportunity to work with any coach in your lifetime, you can most likely pick out the good ones from the not so good. . . 

As both a Head soccer coach, and assistant softball coach for High School Girls programs, I get lots of practice (pun intended) coaching people towards success. I am proud to say that both programs are successful and have had winning seasons. I don’t believe that is a coincidence.

The Power of Coaching? The coach doesn't DO the work for the players, but instead encourages & assists in the process to set, then execute on a plan to exceed the goals and prove what is possible!

THE SHORT VERSION: I assist people in their business success.

need me to break it down? no problem.

Where it all started

the 3p mentality

1passion

Business today is full of complicated measurements for success. Advertising messages alone are missing the intended audience. We all get so inundated with what to do, when to do it and how to do it - that it becomes just too much! We’re constantly told “Click here, Share this, then go here, and then do that, BUY THIS, and this, and this too. . . Ahhhhhhhhh - Sound Familiar? Lucky us, there is now more competition than ever before for your business - especially online.  So how does someone even begin to stand out from the rest? Kelsi has figured out that her passion is just that - Helping you, & your business stand out while being the best that you can be. Lucky for you, she has lots of other passions out in the business world, & the online human behavior world too!

Ever since her very first (unofficial) job in her father's Tastee Freeze restaurants when she was 7, Kelsi knew that she REALLY loved talking to people. Hearing their stories, asking questions, learning something new from someone who had different life experiences. You can say since then she has thoroughly enjoyed studying people. In every position ever held in her 35+ years working in multiple different industries, for all levels of ownership, she just keeps learning more & more to make her more dangerous. As a self proclaimed Super Communicator, I take great pride in my ability to relate & respect ALL people. Adopting a People First approach by choosing to accept projects where the impact on people (no matter the service offering) is my #1 concern.

3purpose

God knew my purpose way before I did. And Boy did he sure show off that sense of humor when I prayed for a change in my professional life, and within 12 hours I was being "let go" from my 2nd job in 5 years. . . Message Received. I believe we don't always see our own potential for success. I didn't. And a lot of the people I work with didn't either. Until we uncovered it. I'm not going to say it's Easy, but it's worth it. Having someone to coach you through the hardest decisions in life & business, can be powerful! When I say I have seen it all, I'm not exaggerating. . . But my passion remains the same. To offer guidance and assistance to get people the results they deserve - the results they work hard for. A firm believer in self advocacy & quality of life, my passion lies in helping others find THEIRS!!

Businesses - New Ownership & setting different ground rules? Looking for training that your employees don't hate? Time to update job descriptions & employee handbooks or onboarding processes? Individuals - Interviewing for that dream job, debating on "doing your own thing" OR contemplating resigning from your position for a multitude of reasons? Either way, I'm here to help you think through the options, and find a best case scenario for you to live your best life at work. You Ready?
