Internationally acclaimed speaker Kevin Kelly has been breaking sales records for over twenty-five years. He consults with top brands, driving small and large organizations alike from around the world to successfully achieve their goals.
Soon after embarking into the business world with his Marketing degree, Kelly started his own company in 1990 called Advanced Marketing.

 I guarantee every audience that I will share at least four strategies that they can use tomorrow. | |

 | What do you want people to learn/take away from your presentations? |
 | Let me rephrase this question: What do I want people to DO? I guarantee every audience that I will share at least four strategies that they can use tomorrow. I want them to commit to taking action on these for one month and see what happens. Mine isn’t a “talk shop” - it is a “DO! Shop!” |
| What kind of special prep work do you do prior to an event? How do you prepare for your speaking engagements? |
| The major focus is on getting to know the audience beforehand so I can nail their dreams and expectations for the event. To achieve this, I try to speak with at least seven people from the company before crafting the keynote. After crafting the keynote, it’s just a case of turning up. I am afraid you won’t see me walking up and down the stage beforehand in mental rehearsal mode!
Audiences continually tell their clients about my energy and enthusiasm for the subject. I genuinely believe I don’t communicate a message – I am the message so there’s no major need for mental rehearsal when you are on flow from the get go! |
| When preparing to go give a presentation in the Middle East, I was told by a speaker agent that “you may get in but you may never get out.” | |
| |
| Have you had any particularly memorable speaking engagements / unusual situations arise while on the road? |
| I’ve had too many to mention but here are a couple of highlights:
|
| What types of audiences would most benefit from your message? |
|
|
| Which of your keynote speaking topics are your favorites and why? |
| Sales, Leadership, The Entrepreneurial Mind/Startups, and Personal Excellence. I love them all, because I am one of the very lucky people that love what they Do! As a result, I am able to execute with effortless ease! I don’t consider this work. For me, it’s fun and a privilege to serve and inspire. |
| What inspired you to start doing speaking engagements? |
| I guess like many people in the industry, it was feedback and passion. The feedback I was getting from my early speeches was fantastic. (I didn’t know what a keynote was at that time!) On top of that, I was having so much fun and gaining such enjoyment from addressing groups of 5 to crowds of a few hundred, that choosing to become a professional speaker was an easy decision. |
| Given that the average attention span is somewhere around the 8-second-mark, you cannot expect an audience to be engaged if you love your monologues! | |
| |
| How do you keep your audience engaged and actively listening during your keynotes? Do you use case studies, personal stories and/or in your speeches? |
| This is a great question and the challenge for speakers. Given that the average attention span is somewhere around the 8-second-mark, you cannot expect an audience to be engaged if you love your monologues! I engage through an interactive cocktail of exercises with key learning points, stories drawn from my insights gleaned inside and outside corporate circles, and the most up to date research. |
| What are some of the successes you've helped clients achieve? |
| Breaking sales records, allowing leaders to see and engage, and allowing people to tap into their innate potential. |

"Too often speakers base their presentations on other people′s experiences - Kevin has lived and breathed every bit of the journey he takes you on. That′s what makes him stand out head and shoulders above every other speaker I have seen in the last 15 years. Yesterday Kevin′s motivational keynote took 30 colleagues and me on a rollercoaster ride for three hours. Initially it was scary, then the adrenalin pumped through all our veins and when he eventually allowed us to loosen our grip we all walked away shattered but taking with us the experience of a lifetime. The energy with which he delivers is breathtaking - it′s akin to Michael Schumacher on steroids!!" The seminar lasted three hours - the impact will be forever.
