What Clients Are Saying

Kelly Duggan is a warm, personable presenter who inspires us to present ourselves professionally under all circumstances, not through handing out a list of rules, but by encouraging each person to show up intentionally, in a way that best demonstrates their authentic selves. Not only did she help our team gain an understanding of how to present themselves professionally in both a digital and in-person context, she inspired them to show up as their best selves, so that they can achieve even greater things for themselves and for our organization.

Kelly is a professional! She is a passionate and engaging speaker who understands the importance of executive image in the business world. I have recommended her to clients and will continue to do so in the future.

I heard Kelly speak at women's event, and her presentation on Developing a Professional Presence was engaging and full of great visual examples. We then met for a Launch session where she helped me understand how professional presence and personal brand shape how you are perceived. Kelly put me at ease with her warm and personable manner, and the insights and recommendations she provided have been invaluable. I would highly recommend Kelly if you're unclear about your personal brand or what it says about you!

Thank you, Kelly. Jim is lucky to work with you. I am speechless at your level of service.

Jessica StecklyExecutive Assistant | Nexus Business Solutions - Jim Coyle

I have known Kelly for over 10 years and she walks the talk of her image consulting expertise, most effectively modeling the advice she gives to others. I have seen Kelly speak to both virtual and in-person groups. In both settings, she engages people with a warm, genuine, empathetic, confident and knowledgeable presence. Her tips, ideas, examples and information are relevant and easy to implement. Everyone can take away something meaningful from her presentations, and I highly recommend her services.
