This funny motivational speaker is a cross between Dolly Parton, Brene Brown, and Melissa McCarthy - with some extra glitter thrown in. “She didn’t just change how I see my story – she reminded me it was worth telling in the first place. Then she handed me a match, pointed at the sky, and said, ‘Go light it up.’”
Award Winning Storyteller, NSA Speaker Hall of Fame
— Kelly Swanson
"My cheeks hurt from laughing so much."
"She said what I really needed to hear. Things have been tough. But she made me feel like I can do this."
"She reminded me why I got into this profession in the first place — why it matters."
"I could listen to her tell stories all day."
"She was just the dose of humor and motivation we needed after a day of heavy content."
A Hall of Fame funny motivational speaker and award-winning storyteller, Kelly blends Southern sass, laugh-out-loud humor, and deep wisdom to turn any room into a front porch conversation.
Her custom-crafted keynotes leave audiences laughing, crying, and seeing their own stories in a whole new light. She doesn’t do lectures—she delivers unforgettable experiences that connect with heart.
Woven into her humor are powerful messages about the power of story: how it helps us connect and engage with others and shapes how we show up in our work.
Whether she’s keynoting a ballroom or lighting up a breakout, Kelly leaves people feeling seen, fired up, and ready to reimagine what’s possible—one story at a time.
If you're looking for some levity at the end of a day of heavy content—or something different that will have people laughing and feeling valued—then Kelly is the perfect choice.
