Her uncanny ability to notice people’s own blind spots allows her to assist them in fulfilling their vision and dreams and be the very best version of themselves.
BIO
From meager beginnings, with zero connections and with very limited business acumen, Kelly excelled at her first sales job and ended up as its #1 producer in less than 6 months. Achieving the top spot in every organization she has been employed eventually pointed her and her internal compass in the direction of forming her own business entity, Kelly Enterprises International.
Kelly is a dynamic speaker, entrepreneur, and international businesswoman who is a recognized expert on leveraging your network to grow your business. Loverage…love your customers is her motto. She is known for inspiring women and men across the country to be their best selves and up-level their lives and is a thought leader in explaining the HOW of getting your business moving forward faster. As the CEO of Kelly Enterprises International, she is a collaborative influencer with a “let’s work together” attitude.
Her speaking career has landed her on diverse and varied stages around the globe. Many have come to know her as “the Queen of Connections” and consequently she has been hired to help individuals and organizations leverage their connections for extreme growth. Kelly has acquired and implemented myriad business skills and solutions for herself and now promotes and shares that plethora of her HOW with others.
Kelly is a Leveraged Networker with a following and golden contact list. She coined the term “Loverage your Contacts” by creating meaningful connections through conversation and mutual collaboration.
Crowned Mrs. Minnesota in 2001, Kelly utilized her skills to raise more than $1 million for charities. She is the Founder of The Cancer Benefit Fund and served as their Chair from 1998 through 2005. Her inspiration to start the organization stemmed from the passing of her father’s best friend after a second battle with cancer. Her spirit was rekindled to rejoin the board actively in support and honor of her mother’s successful and ongoing battle with breast cancer.
She is the author of Volunteer for Life – Achieving Your Personal and Professional Goals and One Great Idea Can Revolutionize Your Business! She has worked in international sales and marketing establishing double-digit growth. She has created a customer following that spans over 14 years, 3 countries and thousands of customers with her consumer goods company.
Kelly and her husband, John, a renowned chef, met on a cruise ship or as they call it, “Their Love Boat Adventure” and together they have two children. They live in Minnesota.
“You can’t be great in front of the room
if you have become and expert at being in the back of it”
