Trade autopilot for agency—and design a personal and professional life that’s truly yours.
You don’t need fixing—you need a framework for growth that honors your whole self.
I’m Kelly Scullin, a certified professional coach and longtime People & Culture leader who helps individuals and teams build lives and workplaces rooted in agency, alignment, and action. After two decades leading HR and organizational strategy, I founded CiTiZEN+SEEKER to guide people and organizations through the moments that define who they become—career pivots, leadership transitions, creative callings, and the messy middle of change.
My coaching blends rigor and reflection. Together, we uncover your values, build your tools, and turn insight into movement. You’ll learn to lead yourself first—then lead others with clarity, compassion, and courage.
If you’re ready to move from default mode to designed living, you’re in the right place. Because when you hire a coach, you are no longer saying, “I wish things were different.”

About Me
I’m not here to sugarcoat your journey—I’m here to help you revolutionize it.
I’m a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and SHRM-Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) with more than 20 years of experience helping organizations, leaders, dreamers, and doers turn self-awareness into meaningful action.
My coaching is fast-paced, curious, and transformative. Honesty, curiosity, and accountability thrive here. Before launching CiTiZEN+SEEKER, I led People and Culture strategy across industries—from healthcare to nonprofits to global firms—so I know what it takes to lead through complexity, growth, and change.
Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s holding you back—whether it’s fear, perfectionism, or an outdated story about who you are and what’s possible.
How I Work
I’m known for being direct but deeply compassionate. And I won’t let you hide behind overthinking or recycled advice.
Instead, I’ll challenge your perspective, equip you with practical tools, and hold you accountable to your own brilliance. I serve your agenda, not my ego—championing bold, tangible steps toward the life and leadership you want.
Why It’s Different
I’m not just a coach; I’m a fellow traveler.
I’ve navigated career pivots, ADHD, parenting through divorce, a recovery journey, and the ongoing practice of choosing fulfillment over fear. I know what it means to rebuild, reimagine, and recommit to your own growth—and I know how to walk beside you as you do the same.
Beyond the Work
There’s a quiet thread that runs through both my coaching practice and my volunteer work: a belief in potential, partnership, and trust.
As a SMART Recovery facilitator, I support people building resilience and self-management in recovery.
As a volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind, I help nurture dogs who will one day transform lives.
Both reflect what I believe about growth: with the right tools, support, and determination, we are capable of remarkable transformation. Whether I’m working with a client, a recovery group, or raising a puppy, I’m holding space for growth that doesn’t happen overnight, but is always happening.
It’s about consistent attention, clear communication, and a deep respect for the process. In any of my roles, I’m not the hero of the story—I’m a guide, a steady presence, serving someone else to move toward a future that’s bigger than where they started.
Let’s Get to Work
If you’re ready to move fast, go deep, and design a personal and professional life that feels truly your own, I’m your fiercest ally and most dedicated partner.
Together, we’ll cut through the noise, make courageous decisions, and cultivate the clarity and confidence you need to thrive.
The life you’re craving is closer than you think.

My Services
Individual Coaching
Where the real adventure begins.
In one-on-one coaching, we design a partnership that helps you move from “someday” to “starting now.” Together, we’ll clarify what matters most, uncover what’s getting in the way, and create a path forward rooted in your values and strengths. Each session blends curiosity, accountability, and evidence-based tools to help you build sustainable change. Whether you’re navigating leadership growth, a life transition, or rediscovering your sense of purpose—you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and momentum.
Group Coaching
Growth is contagious.
Group coaching brings together small cohorts of curious, brave humans who are ready to learn in community. Through guided reflection, shared challenges, and collective wins, participants develop insight, agency, and connection—the fuel for lasting transformation. These groups are especially powerful for teams, peer networks, or individuals seeking accountability and belonging on the path to change.
People & Culture Consulting
Workplaces are living systems—and culture is their heartbeat.
With two decades of experience leading HR and People & Culture functions, I help organizations strengthen engagement, leadership, and inclusion from the inside out. Through customized consulting, facilitation, and strategy design, we’ll align your people practices with your purpose. The result: teams that are not only high-performing but human-centered—where clarity, trust, and growth are built into the way you work.

Core Values
-
Agency
I am self-contained and whole. I choose commitments and uphold them; I accept responsibility and learn from my outcomes, whether positive or adverse. If I’m not changing, nothing’s changing. I visualize hope and take action.
-
Authenticity
I dare to show up, drive truth and equanimity, and strive to live meaningfully.
-
Cultivation
I am enough and I can be more; both can be true at once. I smile upon what is right. I start where I am, use my strengths, forgive my fallibility, and till the land for yield. Progress, not perfection.
-
Play
Let’s go fly a kite! Play affords connections: to others, to ideas, skills, creativity, and my potential. I learn, play fair, and stay curious; I iterate and innovate with each win and loss.
-
Progress
We are in relationship with ourselves, with each other, and with the world, from our inner monologues to our workplaces to our public policies. Humanity depends on positive action for the whole. Progress begins with me.
