“The seminar Kelly conducted for the Department of Health and Human Services
surpassed expectations—by a mile!
We have had noteworthy and amazing speakers, but
Kelly’s program leads in all our feedback metrics.
Her style is facilitative and supportive, “boots on the ground” and aspirational at the same time.
Our managers and supervisors left her session ready to reinvigorate themselves and their teams
for the challenging work of the Department both now and in the future.”

Kelly Byrnes, our founder, is a pro who has spoken with, presented to, or trained more than 100,000 people. Her versatility earned awards from the American Management Association and the local National Speakers Association chapter.
The All-In Way: 5 Strategies to High Performance is the keynote most requested post-pandemic. It is based on the little book "Put Your Whole Self in...Life and Leadership the Hokey Pokey Way," which Kelly authored years before the pandemic. When the book was published, companies, teams, and universities around the United States invited her to share it with them. The energizing talk inspires people with practical ideas to live and lead with the All-In mindset.
Bring Your Spiritual Values to Your Business: The 7 Ways to Incorporate Spiritual Leadership to Grow Your Business is Kelly’s newest talk. It emerged in 2022 as people reported increased spirituality and their need to incorporate it into their work in this post-pandemic world. You can lead with spiritual congruence to unify people and grow your company. Be a role model by bringing your whole self to work, and your people will bring theirs too.

AI DEMO DAY
The Kansas City AI Club invited Kelly to speak at the first Demo Day in June 2024.
Each speaker was given 8-9 minutes. Kelly was the only non-tech speaker. She shared demos about how entrepreneurs and any business professional can use Chat GPT to save time and generate revenue.
Her presentation was so well received by the Kansas City AI Club, they invited Kelly to be an emcee at the second Demo Day a month later.

Kelly’s 5-minute talk, HR Isn’t Burger King: How to stop letting people have it their way without being a jerk, shows her non-stuffy, yet well-thought-out, style and philosophy. Enjoy!
