Kerri M. Roberts in front of bookshelf

Meet Kerri M. Roberts
HR Consultant. Leadership Coach. Podcast Host.

I help leaders turn the mess of growth into momentum - with systems that work and conversations that matter.

Straight Talk. Real Results.
I’m Kerri M. Roberts, founder of Salt & Light Advisors, author of The HR Easy Button, and host of Don’t Waste the Chaos.

After more than 20 years in HR and Operations, I learned this truth: most business problems aren’t really about people - they’re about clarity.

That realization shaped everything I do today.
From advising companies on structure and culture to coaching leaders through seasons of growth, my mission is simple:

Help good people build great organizations - without losing themselves in the process.

Experience That Works in the Real World
I’ve built my career around operational excellence, leadership development, and people strategy - not theory. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Founder & CEO of Salt & Light Advisors (People Operations firm based in Missouri)

  • Certified Predictive Index Partner – hiring and team design by data, not guesswork

  • MBA, William Woods University

  • B.S. in Business Administration, Columbia College

  • Former Malcolm Baldrige Senior Examiner – trained in measurable quality systems

  • Licensed Insurance Producer (Missouri)

“Kerri doesn’t just make HR easier - she makes leadership effective and human.”

As Seen In:

From Corporate Chaos to Country Clarity

I live on a 140-acre farm in Northeast Missouri with my husband (a proud U.S. Marine veteran), our son, and two yellow Labradors. Out here, growth takes rhythm, grit, and deep roots - the same principles I bring to business.
My faith keeps me grounded. My family keeps me real. My work helps others lead with purpose and peace.

Let’s Build Something That Lasts

If you’re leading a team, building a business, or navigating change, I can help you find the clarity you need to move forward - and actually enjoy the process.
