TESTIMONIALS
I recently presented my keynote for the first time at Seedstars' monthly global team meeting, a management investment company driving impact in emerging markets. Here’s what some of their team members had to say.

"I loved how in a very online and virtual environment the power of Kelly’s story made everyone connect and allow themselves to be vulnerable in the group.”
​​
“This talk was very much needed. I could connect with your story Kelly on so many levels. Really, thank you so much!”
​​
“I am going through a difficult personal situation and this is really really what I needed to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
​​
“I loved the presentation and the personal story and the vulnerability really allowed for genuine questions from the audience afterwards.”​​​​​
