Kelli Vrla (Ver-lah), C S P, Employee Engagement Specialist, has enlightened and "entertrained" thousands in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Central America with one of her dynamic programs. Kelli shares over 30 years of lessons and experience: Sixteen years as a broadcast sales executive in radio and another 16 years as CEO of her own people development firm.
Her in-the-trenches scope of learning comes from first-hand experiences in handling change, effective marketing, bottom-line communications, difficult and demanding people, and motivating the tough-to-motivate people. All of this prepared her for the variety of ways she now helps people stay less stressed and laser focused on full-throttle productivity.
As the kick-off morning show host, Kelli energized listeners on the nation's first all-women talk radio show.
Since her radio days at ABC, Kelli has successfully consulted companies in helping their people enhance personal and professional development skills. She has helped them learn to OWN their jobs and get others to OWN theirs. She has helped them learn to handle CHANGE before it handles them. She has even helped them optimize difficult and undesirable daily challenges.
Kelli has helped major corporations overcome the challenges and the chaos with her most-requested keynotes & workshops. She has done all of this with a festive delivery of relevant, memorable and ready-to-use-NOW skills.
