Popular Talks
The New “TLC”: Trauma, Leadership and Consciousness
The leading expert on the profound intersectionality of trauma, leadership and consciousness, Kelly’s signature keynote connects the audience to the ways in which their emotional past can hold them back from awakening into conscious leaders.
The Foundations of Conscious Leadership
Conscious leadership is now expected, but what does it mean and where do you begin? This TED-style talk covers self-awareness and self-care for leaders, and explains how our own healing journey impacts our ability to lead effectively. If we want to create lasting positive change within our organizations, we must first shed the parts that are blocking our path to caring about all stakeholders and leading consciously.
Trauma Integration is the New Competitive Advantage
There’s been much discourse of late on PTSD and other manifestations of big “T” trauma in the context of our workplaces, with some organizations interested in having entirely trauma-informed leadership teams. But, being trained on how to identify trauma in those we serve (including our employees) and prevent it within our work environments is very different from diving inward ourselves. I posit that integrating our past emotional trauma as leaders—and the positive impact it will have on our organizations—is the competitive opportunity we are finally ready to unearth.
What Plant Medicine Can Teach Us About Our Own Capacity
This talk begins with a story about Kelly’s recent healing journey with Ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon. What if you were able to live your life without fear, anxiety or a scarcity mindset? How might you approach life, work and play if you fully believed in yourself and your intuition? If you knew that your capacity to give and receive love from others was limitless, what kind of world might we reimagine and co-create together?

“Almost immediately after engaging with her services, we started closing higher-profile accounts at larger rates than we ever have before. Our team is stronger than ever. Kelly is like a therapist not only for your agency but for you personally. I always look forward to our regular check-ins. We even invited her to speak at a conference we organized, and she was one of our top-rated speakers.”
— Rodney Hess, President, Rally Marketing
“I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with many of the top thought leaders, consultants and coaches in the agency space—Kelly stands out among them. Not only is she a truly kind and generous person, with her client’s best interest at heart, she goes deeper than anyone I’ve encountered in the industry. Nobody offers an experience as personal and thorough as her when it comes to diving deep into her client’s businesses to uncover their true needs and create a clear plan to success. On top of all that, she has the tactical knowledge to help her clients action that plan no matter what critical business function it relates to – be it Culture, Process, Delivery, Sales, Positioning, Strategy and any other nuanced aspect of dealing with people, clients and projects.”
— Marcel Petipas, CEO, Parakeeto
“As an agency owner, it’s easy to focus so intently on every facet of running the business, that looking at things holistically, objectively, and strategically becomes an afterthought. Enter Kelly, who has already been a successful agency owner, and who was tasked with helping to fill those gaps. When I partnered with her, she took a thorough, top-to-bottom look at where we were at as a company, and where we could enhance or tweak so as to better serve both our clients and employees- because, as everyone knows (or should), a solid, happy team is as important as its leader. Kelly took the time to truly understand both our external and internal strengths and struggles, and from there, make thoughtful, smart, and at times, intuitive recommendations. She brought an informed perspective in tandem with a toolkit that’s been helpful in transforming our approach to day-to-day essential tasks geared towards growth. Experienced, engaging, magnetic, and utterly likable are just some of the qualities that make Kelly an excellent consultant and a still-trusted resource.”
