COACH. SPEAKER. CONNECTOR.
BIO
Kelly’s impressive career trajectory began with humble beginnings and limited business knowledge, but she quickly proved herself by becoming the top producer in her first sales job in less than six months.
This success continued throughout her career, leading her to establish Kelly Enterprises International, a thriving business entity of her own.
As a dynamic speaker, entrepreneur, and international businesswoman, Kelly is recognized as an expert in leveraging networks to achieve growth.
She has a well-earned reputation as the “Queen of Connections,” having spoken on diverse stages worldwide and advised numerous individuals and organizations on the power of meaningful connections and collaboration.
Her philanthropic efforts are equally notable.
As Mrs. Minnesota in 2001, Kelly used her skills to raise over $3 million for various charities. She also founded The Cancer Benefit Fund, which raised more than $1 million. In addition to her speaking and charitable work, Kelly has authored two books: “Volunteer for Life – Achieving Your Personal and Professional Goals” and “One Great Idea Can Revolutionize Your Business!”
In 2004, she partnered with an international company in consumer goods. She’s built a loyal customer base across three countries that has had consistent growth for nearly two decades.
Kelly is married to John, a renowned chef from Ireland, and they have two children. They first met on a cruise ship, which they fondly refer to as their “Love Boat Adventure.” Although she is a global traveler, (42 countries and 3 languages later) Kelly calls Minnesota home.
“You can’t be great in front of the room
if you have become an expert at being in the back of it”
