Meet Our Experts
Dr. Torrie Kalm, PsyD.
Mr. Guy Kalm II, CPD
With a Doctorate in Industrial Organizational Psychology and over 30 years of experience as a military spouse, mother, educator, and entrepreneur, I understand the delicate balance of personal and professional growth. My journey, raising two remarkable children while pursuing my aspirations, has instilled in me a deep appreciation for resilience and determination.
My passion for Emotional Intelligence (EI) stems from my doctoral research, which explored its profound impact on individuals and organizations. By understanding the balance between EI and IQ, I’ve seen how fostering emotional intelligence can transform workplaces and personal lives alike.
At The Kalm Effect, I’m dedicated to empowering others through resiliency coaching and program management, helping individuals and teams overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and achieve their goals with confidence and purpose.
I am a seasoned special operations veteran whose nearly 30-year military career has been defined by strategic leadership, resilience in adversity, and effective project management. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and Counter Terrorism Studies from Troy University, an MBA in IT Program Management, and I am a Certified Program Director.
Throughout my service, I had the privilege of working alongside leading military units while navigating the challenges posed by ineffective leadership. These experiences profoundly shaped my leadership philosophy, prompting me to identify the key factors that unite individuals in pursuit of shared goals. Recognizing the importance of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, empathy, and adaptability, I have applied these insights to enhance my own growth and to develop frameworks for guiding and supporting emerging leaders.
By integrating resilience, emotional intelligence, and program management methodologies, I strive to foster cohesive teams and create environments where both people and missions can thrive. I remain committed to mentoring the next generation of leaders, empowering them to face adversity with confidence and to excel in rapidly evolving operational landscapes.

Matt Dale, APS Psychologist & Director of Incorporate Psychology
Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes...Even after a misfortune, resilient people are blessed with such an outlook that they are able to change course and soldier on.
Lucy Hone, Ph.D., adjunct senior fellow, TEDx speaker, author of Resilient Grieving: Finding Strength and Embracing Life After a Loss that Changes Everything and TED Talk: 3 Secrets of Resilient People
I can tell you now five years on what I already knew from the research, that you can rise up from adversity, that there are strategies that work, that it is utterly possible to make yourself think and act in certain ways that help you navigate tough times. There is a monumental body of research on how to do this stuff.
Rachel Jackson and Chris Watkin, developers of The Resilience Inventory
Resilience is fundamentally underpinned by the concept that it is not so much the hard times we face that determine our success or failure as the way in which we respond to those hard times.
