About me...
• I love my family more than anything. I am the proud mom to three beautiful and energetic daughters, an even more energetic black lab, and wife to my fun-loving, more laid-back than I could ever be, husband, Jake.
• I am driven to be of service. I’ve chosen this path because it deeply saddens me how many people are stressed or overwhelmed, disengaged from their work, and generally unhappy or unfulfilled. I’ve had many times in my career when I’ve felt the same way. My motivation is to help others live a life they love and be happier, more successful and fulfilled.
• I believe life is challenging, busy, and beautiful. I find myself challenged every day to find balance and time for everything I love. In my not-so-spare time, I love adventures with my family, traveling, being outdoors, hiking, yoga, and learning anything new.
• I value positive energy and a can-do spirit. This is why I am always looking to be inspired… and I am consistently moved by others’ courage and insight. Also, corny as it might sound, I love reading positive and inspirational quotes!
• I adore dogs - they just make me happy; kids - I love being around their innocence, freedom and joy at the smallest things; spending time in nature - grounding and getting back to what’s real.
Now that you know
a bit about me & my essence, I look forward to getting to know you!
Tracy Kennedy Bio
As a results-driven coach and consultant, I partner with individuals, teams, and organizations to help people thrive personally and professionally.
With more than two decades of experience in executive & career coaching, leadership & team development consulting, and instructional design, facilitation & training, I’ve had the opportunity to work with thousands of people across a wide range of roles and industries.
Having led many teams and seen the inner workings of businesses (from high-tech start-ups to Fortune 100 companies), I use my experience, resources, and practices to look at each situation from a system and individual perspective. I then provide tools, strategies, frameworks, and wellness practices to help clients move from where they are to where they want to be.
Key focus areas include: working with leaders and their teams to enhance team performance, trust, connection, and collaboration; identifying and execute on personal and professional development goals; and strengthening communication and leadership skills.
My approach is built upon asking people the right questions and creating space and time for clients to reflect. I work to balance a pragmatic, practical, action-based approach with warmth, empathy, and optimism.
I am committed to helping people live happier, more fulfilled lives where they can truly thrive at work and home and make positive contributions to the world. In all my work, I encourage people to find ways to live a life you love.
In my coaching and consulting, I draw from a wide range of proven strategies, tools, and methodologies, including The Instinctive Drives System™, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Intrinsic Health and Integrative Wellness principles.
I value lifelong learning and dedicate myself to consistently expanding my knowledge about human drive and motivation, group and team effectiveness, organizational strategy, neuroscience, leadership, coaching, and human behavior.
I’m currently the Personal Development Expert for Lifehack and you can view my articles here: https://www.lifehack.org/author/tracy-kennedy.
I currently live in Hawaii with my husband, three daughters, and black lab, Shadow.
