Kelly Articles

Kelly spent over 15 years in the telecommunications industry developing and refining his management and leadership programs. Most notably, Kelly was a founding partner of NII Communications, a Competitive Local Exchange Company (better known as a phone company!) which grew from inception to over $20 million in annualized revenue in 3 short years.

In April 2004, Kelly authored The No-Nonsense Guide to Management Effectiveness, a book focused on managing and leading organizations to great results through practical approaches of mentoring and coaching individuals.

Kelly has been responsible for the design, implementation and management of several organizations in the telecommunications and publishing industries. His acute awareness of what it takes to train, motivate and manage organizations has led him to develop a methodology which has a proven track-record of success.

His speaking and seminar programs are energetic, interactive and impactful. Raised in a small farming community in rural Indiana, Kelly brings a no-nonsense, down-to-earth style of speaking and training. He has years of experience on the "business frontlines." This, coupled with his understanding of "how and why people are the way they are," gives him a unique perspective into the "art of leadership."

He resides on a small hobby farm in North Carolina with his wife Maggie, and their dogs, Sally & Gracie and cat, Jonah.
