Kelsey speaking to 300+ at the OU Leaders Summit Conference 2024.

Think, Do, and Become: Turning Adversity into Opportunity

Expanding on the core themes of Life Beyond Labels, this keynote delves deeper into the true essence of resilience. We all encounter adversity and moments that call us to rise above. Think & Do pays homage to the mantra of Kelsey’s alma mater, NC State, but she believes resilience requires an additional, crucial element: becoming. Inspire your team with actionable steps to transform adversity into opportunity—how we think about our challenges, what we do to overcome them, and who we become in the process.

Changes and challenges are inevitable in business, school, athletics, and life. The way we choose to view and work through these challenges plays a pivotal role in our ability to overcome them. This talk is perfect for those looking to inspire resilience and empower their teams and organizations to be ready to face whatever comes their way.

Kelsey has brought her insights on leadership and resilience to OU Leadership Conference, Global Leadership Trainings, Best Buddies International Leadership Conference, and leaders across industries. 

Kelsey speaking about Anti-bullying and Character to 500+ high school students.

Be a TJ: Standing Up and Standing Out (Anti-bullying/Character for schools)

When we talk about bullying, instead of focusing on what not to do, why not share an example of someone with exceptional character, who spoke up and stood out when it mattered? If we want to encourage others to change direction, we have to offer a new direction to go. 

In this talk, Kelsey gets vulnerable about a time when she faced bullying from her softball program, but her teammate, TJ stood up for her during one of the most difficult times of her life. 

This talk highlights the importance of standing up for others even when it’s uncomfortable, staying true to ourselves, and doing the right thing even when it is hard. For more information on this talk, please book a discovery call.
