Parenting

“From T-ball to the Olympics, Optimizing the Sport Experience”

How much activity is too much? How will I know when they need higher-level training? How will I know if my child has special talents? When does a parent's support become a distraction? What are the best ways to communicate with other parents and coaches? How can coaches and teachers motivate more effectively? These are just some of the questions covered in this popular topic. For coaches and teachers, effective communication is crucial in translating expectations into a clear, goal-oriented strategy. Parents should maintain a perspective that encourages but doesn't signal expectation of results. This presentation shares empowering awareness tools that help parents maintain a positive influence for long-term character building, while offering unconditional support to their child that raises confidence. Success in sports, academics, or performance activities is more likely when the child's or student's support team works in tandem and supports one another. When that happens, the experience for everyone is optimized. 

“Good Parents Make Great Leaders!”

Want to know the secret to raising kids or leading a classroom of students who are patient and actively listening? Kelly takes her corporate training experience and integrates the tenets of Disney World to transform any place into the happiest place on earth! She shares her four-point plan with parents, students, teachers, or coaches that increases patience and the likelihood of a successful outcome. She outlines the preventative steps leaders can take to erase the waiting worry, keep spirits up, and make every moment count.  

“Once a Parent, Forever a Parent for All Children”

Forever parents have an unspoken pledge. They believe that parents are called to protect all children, not just their own children. A forever parent is an advocate for children’s safety and well-being who uplifts those marginalized by their socio-economic circumstances. They fight for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and for the protection of the environment to ensure a safe planet for tomorrow’s child. Good parents, regardless of their geographic location, political leanings, or age, share one primary mission: to raise the next generation to be better. Get inspired, feel the enthusiasm in the room during this passionate conversation session, and become a forever parent.  

“Parents, Kids and College: Extra Long Sheets, Homesickness & Letting Go”

One of the most significant transitions for children and their parents is the transition to college. It can also be one of the most stressful. This popular presentation is a favorite at college orientation events. Kelly speaks from experience and credibility, having attended over a dozen orientation programs as a parent herself. When parents hear workable strategies from someone who has actually executed them successfully, they listen. Increase your university's student retention by captivating their parents' attention with this engagingly humorous and advantageously informative college prep presentation. 

 

Communication 

“Communication Styles: Are You a Rock, Paper or Scissors?”

Effective communicators recognize their messaging style and can quickly assess the dominant style of the people with whom they communicate. Those who understand the various messaging styles have an enormous advantage in today’s hectic world. If you’re a rock, you are a kinesthetic communicator and utilize gestures. You message and connect with feelings. If you’re a paper communicator, your style is visual. You maximize eye contact and notice details like size, shape, color, and position. If you’re a scissors, you are influenced by the auditory components of tone, tenor, and the volume of a message. The best communicators can translate English into English. Once you reveal your Rock, Paper, or Scissors style, you’ll gain confidence that you can understand others and are being understood in turn. Enhance your knowledge of various styles and cross-train to achieve greater flexibility and versatility.  

“Your Resting Face: Influence of Non-verbal Communication"

Kelly explains the importance of body language and the influence our verbal

delivery has on our communication. The attached video clip was taken from a

keynote presentation Kelly gave to an academic team at a university 

professional development event. In the clip, she demonstrates the effect

tone has on our communication. She emphasizes that communication is a

two-way street; one individual delivers the message, and another receives it.

Whether you are selling an idea, motivating a team, or creating your self-talk,

clarity in your communication makes getting what you want more probable.

It makes inspiring the people in your life more possible.

Knowing how to reframe a situation allows you to see the potential in disappointments by collecting the possibility and filtering out the negative bias.
