| "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." Young Adult Ministry Director Holy Family Church, Inverness, IL |
