“In addition to the 80 attendees we had throughout the presentation, I have already received twenty more requests for a copy of the streaming link. People who attended have been writing to send their thanks, to let us know that they are intending to present these ideas in their own offices, and one even asked if you would be interested in presenting at a virtual conference. All of this to say that you did a really wonderful job and a lot of people were very happy. Many thanks again!”

“Kelli is more than exceptional—she was the true entity that allowed my book to get published. I write courses, teach, etc., but had little insight to book publishing (and I hate footnotes). She took hundreds of pages and rewrote and edited them to fit publishing guidelines. Dedicated, personable, understanding—I cannot say enough about her talents.”
