I'm Elisa Palmer — career and leadership coach, HR veteran, and firm believer that your most meaningful work begins when you bring your whole self to the table.

My own path has been anything but linear. I started in government consulting, made a career transition when parenthood reshaped my priorities, moved into human capital, and am now living out a long-held dream: helping people find clarity, confidence, and direction. That winding road taught me something I carry into every coaching relationship — growth doesn't happen despite our detours. It happens because of them.

With more than 15 years in HR leadership, I've seen what holds talented people back. Often, it's a disconnect from what they truly want, who they actually are, and what they're capable of becoming. Inspired by thinkers like Brené Brown, I believe that having a strong ground to build from gives us the clarity and resilience to lead our best lives.

At Klera, we go there together. Through personalized coaching, we explore:

  • The dream you've been afraid to name

  • The core values that ground your decisions

  • Your core strengths

  • The inner leader waiting to step forward

  • The inner critic that keeps getting in the way

  • A concrete roadmap for what comes next

My goal is simple: to help you get grounded in who you are — and become who you're meant to be.

Bring your whole self. We grow from there.
