Chelsea Dunkel, PhD
I am the owner and founder of Work by Design. I bring a fifteen worth of experience in the field of workplace psychology and organizational development. I am an experienced consultant with expertise in creating and deploying organizational development initiatives, strategic planning, employee engagement, and executive coaching and have worked in a wide array of industries from higher education to large retail manufacturing.
When working with clients I leverage my abilities to establish strong rapport, ask insightful questions, and engage in complex problem solving to generate evidence based solutions that effectively address specific organizational needs.
I am a certified Hogan Practitioner and have coached more than 150 clients. I have extensive training in equity and diversity and know how to embed equitable workplace practices into organizational development initiatives. I earned a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of Minnesota where I extensively explored personality and executive coaching relationships. I graduated with honors from the College of Saint Benedict earning a BA in Psychology.
I live in Minneapolis with my husband and our two young boys. We love to travel, explore, and hike together. I rarely stop moving and in my spare time I enjoy swimming, cycling, and running. I am an All-American triathlete and lead a weekly women's ride for Balance Cycling Club.
