  • Designing Your Life Certified Coaching

Hi, I’m Kelly Noble, ACC.

Trencadis Coaching began as a part of my own talent mosaic redesign, and I know what it takes to repurpose parts of your career, life, and identity in service of a new or evolving goal.

My journey started in 2010 as a lawyer in public sector HR, after which I pivoted into law school and business school career and leadership coaching until 2024. Trencadis Coaching was born when I smashed up those tiles and created this, and I’m really excited to help you.

I’m endlessly adaptable in the coach’s role as “process expert,” encouraging and empowering others to fully step into their role as the “content expert” in the partnership. Here’s more information on coaching as a process, and FAQs that address (among other things) whether I’m the right fit for your particular circumstances and goals.

After years of full-time work and training as a coach, I earned an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), considered the Gold Standard in Coaching worldwide. I am also a Designing Your Life Certified Coach, ready to help you design your life and work through a creative, research-verified, human-centric process.

Anyone can call themselves a coach (and oh, so many do), but most “coaches” aren’t coaching at all: they are advising to the limit of their own knowledge, shaped by their personal circumstances that likely differ from your own. That’s not what you’ll get with me, or any ICF trained or credentialled coach.

The Fun Stuff: I live near Chapel Hill, North Carolina with my husband and our two kids dogs, Agnes and Edith. I’m an elder millennial with workplace-visible tattoos (gasp!) and a generous sense of humor. You can reliably find me at my dining room table working on a jigsaw puzzle, spending time with my friends at our local version of Cheers, or jet-setting to an interesting location with delicious food. Spain is my happy place, and Barcelona—the birthplace of trencadis mosaic—has a piece of my heart (and many stamps in my passport).
