Hi, I’m Pam!
My gift is seeing your best, natural self, naming your talents, and helping you grow into your potential. I hold the mirror to your inner and outer identity, shining a light on areas of growth and opportunity. With a coaching philosophy grounded in connection and empathy, I bring expertise and lived experiences to our coaching relationship. On the high end of the optimism scale, you'll find me to be a truth-teller even when the conversation is difficult and to value humor in most situations. I’m action-oriented and work best with people who champion a growth mindset.
“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.”

“Being coached by Pam Kelley-Dockter was one of the best business decisions of my career. As a small business leader for 15 years, I sought Pam's coaching because our old systems weren't working, and I couldn't figure out why. With an acute talent for not just listening but truly seeing, Pam was able to help me identify areas of strength and improvement, make a plan for systematic change, and execute that plan. When I couldn’t solve my own problems, as an experienced leader herself, Pam was there to fill my gaps in knowledge and process. She's also just really great to spend time with. I can't recommend this experience enough!”

“Pam helped me transform my life. I initially contacted her to explore retirement planning. Still, through all of the exercises--from evaluating my values to the web of life to ways to de-stress—it led to a revelation that I wasn’t being good enough to myself and spending too much time being good to others. Pam was very good at listening and letting me come to my conclusions unless I got stuck. She was perfect at not leading me down a path but asking questions so I could come to my conclusions. I feel very confident and in control with her coaching, even though life happens occasionally! I would recommend Pam as a coach to anyone who might want to change their life for the better.”
— Lynn
“Pam is a compassionate and creative coach. Working with her has helped me project confidence in the value of my work, and has helped me grow the skills I need to thrive at work. I always leave my sessions with her energized and eager to put the things we’ve talked about into action.”
— Sharon
"When I first met with Pam for coaching, I immediately felt safe to be vulnerable with my personal and professional struggles. She listened actively and made me feel heard and understood. She had a gentle approach and never judged or criticized. Together, we worked on several areas of my life and created realistic goals to improve the quality I desired. What I love about Pam's professional practice is her ability to stay present in the moment, her reassurance in understanding me, and her unique strategies to lead me to self-discoveries. After going through the coaching journey with her, I can now say with pride that I am a better version of myself and gained a more fulfilling lifestyle along the way. I am so very grateful for Pam's support!"
