WHAT IS ADAPTIVE COACHING?
If you are passionate, curious, open to self-reflection, and the possibility of creating positive change, I can partner with you to achieve your goals. Coaching may feel like hard work or it may feel transformational, opening pathways and creating space for changes you may never have thought possible. The GOAL is always the same – helping you confidently and effectively achieve your goals.
WHO I AM
I'm Chalmers Ward and as a successful Human Resources executive I had the privilege to work with team members at all levels of the organization and across industries ranging from startups to privately held firms, family-owned businesses and Fortune 50 companies. I’ve found that my HR experience in leadership development, mentoring, talent development, and consultative HR is the perfect complement to my training as an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Certified Coach and my work as a coach.
We all deserve to thrive personally and professionally. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you on your journey. Please get in touch with me to schedule your complimentary consultation: adaptivecoachingllc@gmail.com.

Testimonials
I was so fortunate to work with Chalmers during her 9 years at JE Dunn. She is the definition of a servant leader. Chalmers always listens with the intent to listen, learn, and understand. She never judges, but seeks to understand all perspectives. She is always available to provide the support needed, and seems to know how to assure others that she wants the best for them. She earns trust the right way, by being genuine. I was honored to work with Chalmers, and now I am even more honored to have her as a friend and trusted advocate. I could not be more excited as she embarks on this new journey. I have seen firsthand the positive impact she can have on people, and anyone fortunate enough to know her professionally or personally is certainly better for it.
Forrest Wilson-Group Manager, Vice President-JE Dunn Construction
I had the pleasure of working with Chalmers for over 9 years at JE Dunn Construction Company where she served as Vice President of Human Resources for our South Central Region. She was the ideal business partner and leader supporting over 450 regional employees. During her time with us at JE Dunn she was an outstanding coach, mentor, listener, and confidant. Chalmers genuinely cares about people and strives to help them reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives. She believes in doing the right thing; serving others; helping others to grow personally and professionally and was “all in all the time”. I highly recommend Chalmers as an executive, leadership, or career coach.
Greg Lorei-President-South Central Region, JE Dunn Construction
Chalmers engaged with me on semi-monthly calls for 5 months in 2023 during a critical point in my career where I am transitioning from a mid-management executive to senior leadership team executive. Chalmers was the VP of HR at my company early in my career (2004-2010), and having the privilege of her stepping back in beside me with incredible listening, discernment and guidance has been thrilling. She encouraged me to bring issues and goals I wanted to discuss, and with insightful questions allowed me to determine the best next steps to take to overcome obstacles, create alignment with my executive team members, and move huge and heavy strategic initiatives forward at a surprising pace. I would highly recommend partnering with Chalmers to anyone looking to accelerate their progress into new leadership and growth areas in their career. She is your advocate, champion and most importantly a true friend.
