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 it only took Kelly five more years to write her first book, Secrets of Seasoned Professionals. Her second book,
Secrets of Seasoned Sales Professionals, is in the works and will be published in 2009.
If you're looking for a leadership 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 is ideal. Kelly, an award-winning speaker formerly with the American Management
Association, has trained internationally and in all fifty states.
"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."
Marketing Director Financial Services Company

She has been serving companies as a training & development expert for 20 years. Her primary areas
of expertise include leadership and management development, along with professional development.
As an adjunct professor of leadership and management for the University of Missouri-Kansas
City, Kelly brings real-world management expertise to the classroom.
The publishing division of the Sprint Corporation is where Kelly began her career. Her first
position was as a supervisor in the Publishing Department, then she moved to Marketing working
on strategic plans for new products. She also had opportunities to work on the division's long-term
organization development and the launch of a relationship marketing division. Unique opportunities
within Sprint enabled Kelly to gain management, project management, training, marketing, and
organization development experience--all needed to be an entrepreneur.

Prior to forming this company, Kelly established the HR/Training function for TargetCom, a Chicago-based direct response advertising
agency, and served as a Management Supervisor with Rapp Collins. Working in operations, marketing, HR, account services, and public
speaking gives Kelly many experiences to share and enables her to relate to people in all departments at all levels.
As for the formalities...Kelly holds the Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) certification. While working for Sprint, Kelly earned
an M.B.A. from Rockhurst University, Kansas City MO. She previously earned a B.A. from Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame IN, where
she earned a Varsity Letter in Track & Field. She never placed in the top three at a meet but always had even her competitors cheering her
on. You can expect to be engaged and participate in programs, as Kelly brings her training from the Josephine Forsberg's Players
Workshop in Chicago (the same program several Saturday Night Live alum attended) into her sessions.
Kelly brings solid business experience, leadership, education, along with positive energy, to each client--and her clients can tell. She is more
than an entertaining speaker and author--she's also a smart business professional who makes training time worthwhile. Her clients can
tell that too. Give her a call and find out for yourself.



“Kelly is simply the
best I have ever been
associated with at
what she does. Not
only is she the
consummate
professional, she is as
genuine a person as
you will ever meet.”
"Kelly's 'positude' was so refreshing for me and for all of the audience, with her enthusiasm and winning personality affecting everyone in the room!
Before she talked, she welcomed everyone into the room, so she really knew her audience before saying a single word. Kelly's talk itself was both enriching and practical, giving everyone some kernel or thought to take home with them.
Kelly was one of the most dynamic, engaging and interactive speakers I have ever heard. She made everyone feel at home, while giving a solid, worthwhile presentation."
