Born into a small family retail business, Kevin has been selling and negotiating from a very young age. After graduating with a Commerce degree in 1987, this early experience helped him to break sales record in each of the companies his worked for in the construction and manufacturing industry. Over the past two decades, he has keynoted at events around the world including the Middle East, Far East, Europe and the US working for many Fortune 500 companies and such prestigious associations as The Million Dollar Round Table. His experience spans the IT sector, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Financial services and retail.Kevin is a unique motivational speaker who more than walks the path of his own philosophies: From challenging himself to write a Best Seller even though limited by a poor grade in English, to going from high income to low income and back when he decided to follow his passion; to breaking sales records in many companies, to developing an International Brand, Kevin knows his ideas and strategies work, because they have worked for him! As a speaker, he appreciates that we are all operating in an attention deficit society – honouring this; he gets maximum engagement through a cocktail of interaction, stories drawn from his own life and cutting edge research. His book titles include Basics before Buzz," "Life: A Trip Towards Trust" and the Best Selling title “How? When you don’t know how.” In addition, he has produced three motivational CD's - Good Enough - Now go get it; Setting, getting and forgetting Goals, and Compelling Communication Strategies. His transition year module "Looking Ahead and Living Now" is a nationally accredited module and his upcoming graphic novel will make motivation and personal development available to the most vulnerable audiences who in the past would ignore this area. Kevin has appeared many times on National TV and radio shows in Ireland, UK and the US and in conjunction with three others has designed a new TV series Code Y which is in the "funding zone."Testimonials"We asked Kevin to handle the coveted spot closing out our MDRT Experience meeting in Seoul, Korea this year. Kevin gave the audience an abundance of energy, enthusiasm and practical take-away messaging that our members can immediately apply to their lives. I would definately urge any organization to consider utilizing Kevin Kelly on their program." - Executive Producer, Million Dollar Round Table, Hong Kong"Kevin Kelly spoke at our Thought Leaders Conference on 16th September 2010, an event hosted by Investec Bank…..He is a motivational speaker par excellence and brings very practical value to our audience of CEO’s. ‘Basics before Buzz’ which was his subject, did exactly what was on the tin and I would recommend Kevin to any organisation that wishes to exceptionalise their service and retain their customers." - - THE ACADEMY FOR CHIEF EXECUTIVES, UK"We invited Kevin to speak at one our senior management sessions to help us engage and focus on the year ahead. Kevin has to be one of the most enthusiastic professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. He excludes passion for his subject and has the ability to engage his audience from the moment he steps into the room, he also references some great life examples of how you can achieve your goals. There was no doubt everyone took something away from the session and it was a great success." - Vice President, Human Resources, ICON Clinical Research"Thank you for an entertaining and content rich workshop. In addition to engaging our people......you delivered some valuable messages that resonated cross culturally in our marketplace." - Principal, Business Development, KPMG China"Polished speaker, great audience control, great content - 'exceptional execution of ordinary ideas' is a great core message." - Senior Vice President National Sales Organization, MetLife USA
