Jerry Stevens

"Kelly has a natural way of gaining instant rapport and trust which, as you can imagine, is critical for any coach/consultant. His positive, empowering attitude and creative yet simple style are winsome and contagious."

Dennis Plies

"...there is none like unto you. Your leadership is gracious, commanding, musical, aesthetic, creative, sensitive, spontaneous, rehearsed, and natural. You are at a level that truly is beyond."

Cari Jenkins

"What an amazing gift Sunday was! I am so thankful for the time that you spent with the students and then also leading our congregation. I know that you have worked with many dysfunctional churches ('cause we all are) but I know that you got invited right into the midst of some of ours. I appreciate your grace, leadership and lessons of humility."
