Chauncey Whitfield-Pelzer

Chauncey is the founder of Defining Destiny Coaching & Consulting LLC, a career development company that motivates women and men in career transition to create their professional brand.  She does this through personal coaching, workshops, training and development.  Chauncey grew up in Kinston, NC and also spent time living in Stamford, Connecticut.  She has over 15 years of Sales & Human Resources experience working for companies such as Cisco Systems, UBS Investment Bank, American Express, and Gartner.  

Working in recruiting at those companies allowed her to see first-hand how often good candidates would underestimate their own potential.  Chauncey’s goal is to teach others how to quickly identify their talents, harness their power, and accomplish their career goals.  She loves taking a person’s perspective and turning it around to show them who they are.  She previously taught courses at Pitt Community College and has developed her own coaching programs that have a track record of success.

Chauncey holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from North Carolina A&T State University and an MBA with a concentration in Ethical Leadership from Marist College.  She is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and enjoys giving back to her community.  Using her strong sense of purpose, authenticity, and an ability to understand what her clients are not saying about their development, Chauncey is able to help others.  Currently Chauncey works as a Human Resources Generalist at City of Greenville.  She enjoys reading and traveling with her wonderful husband Darnell.
