Kelly Swanson

Biography

As a motivational speaker, award-winning storyteller, author of Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale? and comedian, Kelly Swanson writes custom keynotes that blend entertainment and content - to teach you how to stand up and stick out in life and in business - by cultivating the attitude and mindset to help you set goals and achieve them - and adopting the skills to help you impact others to create remarkable relationships in life and in business. In short, Kelly teaches you to motivate yourself and motivate others. For all the skills in the world will not make up for a defeating attitude. And your ability to impact others will define your future.

Kelly also teaches you how to get out of the potholes in the yellow brick road of life - to get from where you are stuck to where you want to be. This is why many people ask her to speak on stress and dealing with change in her most popular program: Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale?.

In addition to taking your goals, your audience`s needs and expectations, and even the language of your organization and weaving it into a dynamic high-energy presentation - Kelly`s goal is to make you laugh a lot, to motivate you, to entertain you from start to finish, to encourage you to be more than you think you can be, and to deliver a remarkable and unforgettable experience that attendees will be talking about for years.

Some say Kelly`s shows are popular because of the characters and the town she has created - others say it`s because of her wacky sense of humor that has them laughing until their sides hurt - others say they love Kelly`s real "take me as you see me" approach - some love the powerful stories - and some like the way she challenges them to put a new perspective on their obstacle - and some appreciate that there is something new at every turn and they never grow bored. While Kelly would like to think all of these are true, she believes that the secret ingredient is her motive. She is not there to show you what she can do - She is there to show you what YOU can do. It is not about her. It is about YOU. Kelly is not there so you can praise her - she is there to serve you. And it is her hope that this motive plays out in every moment she shares with you - from the first phone conversation, to the stage, to the parking lot. Speaking to your group is an honor Kelly takes seriously.
