I am Dr. Chelsea B. Clay, also known as Coach Chelsea and I am so glad you’re here. For over 18 years I have been passionate about helping professionals understand who they are and who they want to be in their career, the value they create, and how to advocate for themselves. My coaching journey started because of a longtime yearning to leverage my journey of transforming from a young, introverted woman to a professional, confident in her identity personally and professionally. Finding my own value and putting voice to it was critical to my advancement to executive levels in the IT industry. Everyone has a voice, and I am here to enable you to identify your voice, your value and advocate for yourself and that promotion you desire. 

I am a results-oriented and client-focused executive leader with consulting expertise in strategic planning, enterprise architecture, and large-scale business and IT transformations in the Defense, Federal, Financial and Health industries. I am adept at leading complex initiatives, aligning technology with business goals and driving innovation. My specialty is client relationship management, serving as a trusted advisor to C-Suite leaders and delivering excellent service that enhances revenue growth and business opportunities.

As a relationship building expert, my doctoral degree has equipped me with the counseling, relationship building, coaching, mentoring, and personality determination tools and techniques to effectively and successfully build and maintain relationships with peers, teams, and clients in typical and or volatile environments. These skills in concert with my experience has allowed me to be successful at leading both small and large IT and non-IT project teams. My leadership style employs compassion, empathy, and inclusion to ensure each member feels valued and appreciated.
