I’m Kelly,
The HOW Gal

Helping You Build Confidence, Close Deals, and SHINE.

My journey wasn’t perfect, but it taught me everything I needed to succeed. 

A woman in a black long-sleeve shirt and jeans crouches on a white photo studio backdrop, smiling with her hand near her chin, as a photographer takes her picture.

From closing multi-million-dollar deals to leading high-performing teams, I’ve learned that success isn’t about waiting for someone to recognize your work. It’s about stepping up, speaking out, and owning your expertise unapologetically.

But let’s be honest—it didn’t come easy. I’ve battled self-doubt, struggled with imposter syndrome, and spent too long letting fear hold me back. What got me through? Learning how to advocate for myself and teaching others to do the same.

If you’re ready to stop holding yourself back and start showing the world what you’re truly capable of, I’m here for you.

Through my speaking engagements, programs, and coaching, I help women like you master the art of communication, build unshakable confidence, and create opportunities you never thought possible.

Are you ready to make your next move? Let’s work together to turn your potential into undeniable success.
