February 23, 2012This review is long overdue. Kelly spoke to my group of Correctional Educators for the Commonwealth of Virginia. She was part of our opening session and she did who Hijacked My Fairytale and she was amazing. Prior to the event, I provided her information about my group. When Kelly spoke, it was as if she had known all about my group all of her career. She was funny, warm, engaging, genuine, professional and totally uplifting to everyone present. Everyone still talks about her. She kept us laughing and she set the tone for our conference and we have been asked about bringing her back . She also did Mirror, Mirror on the Wall for our Administrative Professionals. They thoroughly appreciated her focusing on their group as she promoted loving yourself at the same time keeping everyone cracking up. Kelly is very personable and it shines through her performances! We hope to book Kelly again for our next conference!

November 2, 2011Kelly gave a presentation at Spirit Girls Night Out in Columbus, GA. When she first came out, she engaged the audience with a song and everyone joined in. She told stories that touched the human spirit, uplifted us all and motivated us to see, believe and do. Not only is Kelly a competent and gifted speaker, she is also a faith warrior. She convinces us all that with faith we can overcome obstacles and go after our dreams.

Wow Monica! Thank you! I've never been called a Faith Warrior! I like it! Maybe it's the best compliment I have received to date! Thank you for your kind words.

September 1, 2011I recently enjoyed seeing Kelly at a luncheon where she was the Keynote Speaker. She captured our attention immediately with her hilarious sense of humor and proceeded to guide the audience through her valuable message, "Who Hijacked My Fairytale?" Kelly has such friendly and down-to-earth style that it was as if she was talking to a group of her pals! She seemed to talk to every member of the large audience at once with her characters and her stories. While she is VERY funny, her message is also very timely and applicable to everyone trying to function when change is the only certainty! I would recommend Kelly to any group in need of a motivational speaker.

July 29, 2011Kelly is a master at the art of sharing humor and empowering messages of truth. I loved her the first time I saw her and was honored to get to meet her. I highly recommend every corporation and church groups to take at look at this amazing woman!

Thank you Kelly for a very inspirational, funny, and practical talk. You have kick started something in our organization that will make a profound difference in our culture.

Huge thanks for your stupendous presentation at APA's 34th Annual Congress! I had already heard you were an amazing humorist, and you exceeded my expectations. "Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale" was masterfully crafted and outrageously entertaining. In the midst of the laughter, there was a subtle yet poignant grace through your vivid characters. You are an artful storyteller! APA's members were mesmerized as you took over 2000 people on a journey, which was more relevant to our theme than I could have imagined. We look forward to having you back in the near future!

Kelly did her research and delivered a targeted message to our scientists and engineers that had us laughing (really hard!) and thinking while totally mesmerized. The "formula" she developed will provide us a guidepost for crafting our own compelling messages going forward. I keep getting stopped in the hallway by people who attended wanting to thank the team for bringing her in. The timing was perfect. We really needed to let loose and laugh. Kelly made a wonderful impression.

I just finished reading the second set of evaluations (week two) and just like week one, the attendees found you to be amazing and simply the highlight of the convention. Time and time again the forms listed you or things you said as the most important take away they had from the convention. As a speaker, one does well if they can get people to remember a few things they say. But, if one can change a life through a message, there is no higher praise than that. Thanks for being a part of our program. Best wishes in all your future activities. You have a gift!

I prefer a handheld microphone - but will work with what you've got. My show requires a seated quiet audience who hasn't been drinking for hours -with no distractions. If setting is a theater - I would like a spotlight and a stool and a glass of water if you can swing it.
I write every show to fit the audience and the time length required. There is no set list until the show is written.
