If you like your speakers and consultants to be more stuff than fluff, you will like working with Kelly Tyler.
|

Kelly Tyler understands leadership, business, and adult learning: what works, what fails, and what wastes time. With that
knowledge, Kelly Tyler Training Services (KTTS) launched with a mission to "Bring out the Best in People."
KTTS earned its first client, a division of Bank of America, in 2002, and has served additional clients in the financial
services, health care, manufacturing, advertising, automotive, greeting card, and telecommunications industries since
2002. KTTS has served government agencies, associations, universities, and non-profits as well.
As KTTS has grown, so has its team and network of collaborators.
In addition to a team of trainers, booking agents, creative consultants, and administrative
professionals, Kelly Tyler collaborates with other high-caliber consultants and organizations.
Three organizations KTTS collaborates with are MORF Consulting, Kauffman FastTrac, and
The Center for Spirit at Work.
Kelly Tyler has trained and spoken internationally and in all fifty states. The American
Management Association awarded its prestigious Quality Award to Kelly--twice!
If you are looking for a high performance development expert who is an expert in participant-based adult education,
which is whole-brained and interactive, rather than left-brain lectures or right-brain fluff, Kelly Tyler and her network of
collaborators are ideal.
"Kelly's ability to relate to the audience has had a positive impact on associates she's trained for my company, which made her training a pleasure."
