Bio
Cecily Rose Engelhart (she/her, Ihanktonwan Dakota & Oglala Lakota) is a Double Certified Life Coach, known by clients as “Your Dream Life’s Hype Chick.” She helps people who are feeling burnt out, trapped, and drained of enthusiasm to decolonize, dismantle systems of oppression, and cultivate more joy.
What that means most often is that she supports them with navigating feelings of wanting to quit their job!
As a sought after coach and speaker, she helps clients worldwide to activate their agency and transform their futures. She also takes great pride in her work at regional and local levels serving Native and rural communities. Whether coaching, consulting, or facilitating, she brings both pragmatic and playful energy to a space in order to make sure clients reach their goals – and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
She has over 20 years of work experience ranging from florist to nonprofit professional, barista to facilitator, filmmaker to communications manager. She’s valued the lessons from every single job and sees each one as an integral part of her growth both personally and professionally.
When Cecily isn’t coaching, she hosts events in the 1904 Victorian home her family bought and is restoring on her reservation. She can also be found spending time with her family playing games, cooking, baking, and dancing in the kitchen. She the owner of Rosie Matȟó, her jewelry and home decor business, is also currently penning her first two books, and in the early development stages of her Native travel show.
My Top 5 Strengths
(And what they mean for you as my client)
-
I am inspired by the future and what could be. My powerful anticipation and detailed visualization of a better future can turn aspirations into reality. My vision of tomorrow can inspire and push others to new heights.
For you, this means I can hold space for not only your biggest, wildest dreams, but help them become real.
-
I have a powerful ability to prioritize, set goals and work efficiently. I avoid time-consuming distractions and stay on track toward an overall objective. This allows me to "keep my eyes on the prize" and get results — for myself and my clients.
For you, this means that when we are working together, I intentionally curate time and space for our work. I support you and our agreed upon goals thoughtfully at the center of our work.
-
I am fascinated by ideas. I am able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. Because I enjoy looking at the world from different perspectives and am always searching for connections, I am a powerful and creative brainstorming partner.
For you, this means that I might see the connections between things in your life that you haven’t noticed, increase your notion of what’s possible and support your ability to create dynamic solutions and plans.
-
I enjoy close relationships with others. I find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. It is natural for me to form genuine and mutually rewarding one-on-one relationships. I am committed to show up with authenticity which allows for close, long-lasting connections that foster trust and confidence.
For you, this means that I naturally create a space for our work that is rooted in our mutual needs and respects our respective roles. I will always be honest (even when it’s difficult) in order to maintain the integrity and trust of our work together.
-
I enjoy thinking about the past and understand the present by researching its history. My natural tendency to look back in order to understand "why" can, when focused intentionally, result in collecting best practices that can be applied to a current situation and ensure future success.
For you, my distinctive ability to see the link between where you have been and where you are going is extremely valuable for supporting you in mindful planning and decision-making.
