Tyra Jarvis is founder and president of Kefi Coaching LLC. She works with leaders facing career and life transitions to align the desires of their heart with the power of their mind and have more freedom, passion, and fun every day. Whatever their challenge, she makes a difference for her clients by helping them get focused, motivated and moving forward.

A proven leader with demonstrated professional experience built upon a 30-plus-year career in the “hyper-competitive” telecommunications industry planning and implementing enterprise-wide technology and business projects, and 10+ years as a volunteer leader with the LPGA Amateur Golf Association and Stand Up Placer.
Tyra is valued by her clients for her proven ability to “get it done,” along with her diverse background, analytical and problem-solving skills, and capacity to listen for their success. She partners with clients in a process that values empowerment and individual responsibility to support them in translating their passion and goals into reality.
“Through Tyra’s coaching, I realized that the goals I had set really didn’t motivate me because they were based on others’ expectations. The structures and insight that Tyra provides can be implemented immediately with clarity and real-time results, and my new approach is managed with so much more freedom and ease.” – Joe Apostol, Realtor, Keller Williams
