Kelly Harwood
Narrative Coaching Client Package
Reclaim your stories. Reclaim your life.
As a nonfiction writer and teacher, Kelly knows firsthand the transformative power of narrative writing and the cathartic benefits of speaking your truth. When we write about our lives, we begin to see ourselves and others with compassion and find forgiveness in the messiness of our journey. Perhaps especially when we write about failure, grief, and disappointment, we begin to recognize the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck and the unique strengths that have the power to carry us through hard times.

Narrative coaching combines the literary techniques of nonfiction writing with the tenets of professional coaching, offering clients a new lens through which to view their lives and an invitation to cast themselves as active participants and creators.  Client writing will lead the way to deep discussion and reflection. Each week Kelly will offer personal writing exercises, short readings, and written feedback, helping clients reframe their life stories into mature and nuanced narratives.  Over time clients will begin to recognize ongoing themes, outgrown identities, and new pathways toward growth. With new skills and a more accurate and empowered view of themselves, clients learn how to handle life's ups and downs with the full arsenal of their individual strengths, values, and long-term goals.

Client Feedback
“ When I reflect on my time with Kelly, I remember how patient and attentive she was. One of her core gifts as a writer and as a coach is being an active listener. She easily connects the dots between your hidden intentions and your active behavior. She also summarizes this in an articulate way, and in a way that allows you to study your situation as a "third person" vs. a "first person" observer. Kelly is not afraid to nudge you if she notices that you are afraid to take action. I appreciate her wise counsel and encouragement as a coach and would recommend working with her.
