About
Chelsea Ambrose | Beauty Way Consulting
Rooted in resilience. Focused on people and mission.
At Beauty Way Consulting, we help leaders and organizations prevent burnout, navigate change, and create cultures where people and missions thrive.
Meet Chelsea
Chelsea Ambrose is a former nonprofit senior leader turned consultant, coach, and keynote speaker who partners with mission-driven organizations to lead from purpose, not pressure. With more than a decade of executive leadership experience, she knows firsthand the challenges of carrying responsibility for people and mission while striving to avoid burnout.
​
A licensed clinical social worker and resilience strategist, Chelsea integrates leadership strategy with a trauma-informed, strengths-based philosophy. She also draws on decades of experience in holistic body-mind-spirit practices, which inform her belief that resilience grows when leaders show up as their whole selves. Her lived experience — including navigating loss and paralysis — inspired the creation of her BEAUTY Way framework for resilience and leadership.
​
Today, Chelsea helps leaders, teams, and organizations strengthen culture, align with values, and lead with authenticity. Whether through consulting, coaching, or speaking, her work is grounded in the idea that our histories shape how we lead — and by bringing awareness to those patterns, we can build more resilient, compassionate, and effective organizations.
Why This Work Matters
Chelsea’s philosophy is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi — repairing broken pottery with gold, making the piece stronger and more beautiful for having been broken. In the same way, leadership challenges and organizational struggles are not flaws but opportunities for transformation. Through resilience and authenticity, we can turn pressure into clarity, and setbacks into stronger foundations for growth.

-

-
Create practical strategies that support both people and mission
-
Foster cultures of authenticity, trust, and collaboration
Our approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, relational, and deeply human — blending strategic insight with an awareness of the whole person.
