Kelly L. Howarth, M.Ed., PPCC

Hi! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Kelly, Personal and Professional Coach, Educational Consultant/Learning Development Specialist, Speaker, and Author of I AM ENOUGH—Recovering from Intimate Betrayal and Eva's Gift and Co-Author of Happily Ever After—A Reality Check.
My professional journey began unexpectedly when I was asked to teach a cake and pastry course—an amusing twist for a corporate recruiter ready to pivot toward purpose. That first class lit a spark. I soon transitioned into facilitating job search workshops, using my recruitment background to help others uncover their transferable skills.
This path grew into teaching soft skills and personal development, and later into educational consulting—designing and evaluating programs. I returned to studies to earn a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction while home educating my son (my proudest accomplishment).
Personally, I navigated a season of profound transition, letting go of relationships, roles, and dreams. Faced with fear and uncertainty, I acted anyway, rebuilding a life rooted in my core values. That experience—grieving loss, embracing growth, and learning to trust life’s unfolding—ultimately led me to coaching.
When I’m not coaching or consulting, I’m writing, dancing to Body Groove videos, creating vegan gluten-free treats, or soaking up Montreal’s rich cultural scene.
I bring an eclectic mix of lived and professional experience to everything I do. At heart, I help people turn life transitions into empowering opportunities for growth—at work and beyond.
Cheers,
Kelly

TESTIMONIALS
“At a time when I felt more alone with the process of building up my work and being able to market my paintings, I will forever remember how you gave me this space to walk through my problems and laugh and feel good in the meantime. I am impressed with how well you listen and adapt yourself to the complete reality of the other rather than just applying theory and cliché. I am touched by your will to make me stronger and more confident. I am grateful for your trust in me and for making me feel safe and heard."

TRANSITION TO WORK STUDENT - NOVA CAREER CENTER, CHATEAUGUAY, QC
“Kelly is an engaging and talented presenter who has so much to offer her audience. Her presentation on the Sandwich Generation is one-of-a kind and allows for a great deal of self-reflection. Kelly has outstanding active listening skills and is able to make each audience member feel like they at one with her. I would highly recommend her as a Corporate Speaker!"
L. KOSATSKY, COACH - MONTREAL, QC
“[Coaching] with Kelly has been a wonderfully positive experience. She is warm and personable and is great at identifying issues and mirroring back comments I make about myself without realizing. Her gentle, non-authoritative approach left me lots of space to propose solutions to my topics, assited by her helpful suggestions and comments. When discouraged by feelings of having gotten bogged down or losing my path, Kelly would gently steer me back on course again, and rather than dwelling on my negative perceptions of the situation, she would emphasize the positive accomplishments and encourage me to do the same!"
