Customized for Groups and Individuals

Kelly’s passion for teaching others is founded around one simple question: “When life happens, would you rather have a plan or be wondering what to do next?” Kelly offers customized financial coaching in the form of a 2-hour class and 6-hour workshop for employees as well as long and short-term coaching and Success Mentoring for executive teams, and business owners. 

Your class and the manner in which it was given was incredible. I have already paid off 2 credit cards and increased my savings. I am being more intentional with my spending and am second-guessing myself constantly, which is a good thing. Thank you!

  • Kelly’s willingness to do the difficult things, whether a plumbing job, overcoming alcoholism or raising two daughters as a widower, was the key to overcoming his own personal trials. My prayer is that his story will resonate with those facing their own trials and encourage them to start the process of life-transformation.
