Trade autopilot for agency—and design a 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.”
Move from “someday” to “starting now”
Meet Your Coach
Kelly Scullin
Founder and Coach
Kelly Scullin, CPCC, SHRM-SCP, isn’t here to sugarcoat your journey—she’s here to revolutionize it. As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and SHRM-Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP), Kelly brings 20+ years of experience helping organizations, leaders, dreamers, and doers turn self-awareness into meaningful action.
Honesty, curiosity, and accountability thrive here — her coaching is fast-paced, challenging, and transformative. Drawing on her background as a former People and Culture executive, Kelly knows how to get to the root of what’s holding you back—whether it’s fear, perfectionism, or the stories you’ve told yourself for too long.
Known for her direct yet compassionate approach, Kelly combines sharp insight, actionable strategies, and unwavering candor. She’s not here to recycle vague advice or let you sit in overthinking mode. Instead, she equips you with practical tools, challenges you to shift your perspective, and serves your agenda, championing tangible steps toward your goals.
What sets Kelly apart?
She’s not just a coach; she’s a fellow traveler. As someone who’s navigated her own career pivots, ADHD, parenting through divorce, recovery journey, and relentless pursuit of fulfillment, Kelly speaks the language of growth from experience, not just theory. She meets you where you are, calls out your blind spots with kindness, and walks beside you as you embrace what’s next.
Kelly’s commitment to growth and transformation extends beyond her coaching practice. As a SMART Recovery facilitator, she supports individuals in cultivating resilience and self-management in their recovery journeys. As a volunteer Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind, she collaborates with her community to nurture dogs that will one day transform the lives of people with visual impairments. Both roles reflect Kelly’s coaching philosophy: that with the right tools, support, and determination, we are capable of remarkable growth and impact.
If you’re ready to move fast, go deep, and create a personal and professional life that feels truly your own, Kelly is your fiercest ally and most dedicated partner. Together, you’ll cut through the noise, make bold decisions, and cultivate the clarity and confidence you need to thrive.
Let’s get to work. The life you’re craving is closer than you think.
What people are saying
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.
