About Kellie Burns

After a successful career as a business executive, I stepped into entrepreneurship to create the kind of space I once needed myself.

Through my work at at the TOP, I partner with CEOs, business owners, and senior leaders who want a confidential outlet they can trust. As leaders rise, their circle of advisors often shrinks, and the conversations that matter most can’t always be shared openly.

I serve as a trusted thought partner and sounding board for leaders navigating complex decisions, growth, and the realities of leadership at the top.

This work includes both individual coaching and facilitated work with leadership teams and additional levels of leadership, through a blend of 1:1 and group conversations.

A modern sand-colored stone sculpture resembling an upward-facing arrow, set atop a smooth charcoal-gray plinth on the corner of a high-rise office's lobby floor. The environment features large floor-to-ceiling windows framing a blurred cityscape outside, with indirect natural light creating soft, even illumination throughout the space. Subtle highlights along the sculpture’s edges add depth, while gentle shadows ground it in the environment. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, the image uses an asymmetrical, balanced composition for visual interest. The overall mood is quietly aspirational and composed, perfectly suited for a site centered on leadership and professional progression. The style is minimalist, photographic, and structured.
A sleek, closed navy-blue leather-bound notebook with a subtle embossed logo reading "at the TOP" on its cover, resting on a meticulously organized matte white executive desk. Next to the notebook are a matte silver pen, a glass of clear water, and a small geometric concrete paperweight, all arranged with precise spacing. Soft, diffused daylight filters through frosted glass, creating gentle, balanced highlights across the scene and subtle, tidy shadows. The photograph is shot from an eye-level angle with rule-of-thirds composition, emphasizing the clarity and intention of a modern workspace. The mood is grounded, calm, and sophisticated, reflecting a space for authentic leadership insight. The style is clean, photographic realism with a professional, corporate aesthetic.

Experience You Trust

My work is grounded in listening, thoughtful questions, and real conversation. I partner with leaders who value perspective, self-awareness, and practical insight as they navigate complexity and make decisions that matter.

This includes both 1:1 coaching and facilitated work with leadership teams and organizations.
