Ericka Kelly has proven to be an exceptional coach, particularly in compassion, patience, and understanding. Her support and guidance were invaluable during my family’s difficult and personal phase. Ericka's compassionate approach to coaching allowed my family to feel supported and cared for in a way that went beyond just achieving our goals. Her patience in listening to our concerns and struggles demonstrated a genuine commitment to our well-being, and her understanding of the unique dynamics within our family allowed for a tailored and effective coaching experience.

Furthermore, Ericka's ability to foster a sense of trust and understanding within our family was truly remarkable. She created an environment where we felt comfortable sharing our deepest fears and challenges, and her skill in guiding us through these difficulties was evident. Her compassionate, patient, and understanding nature played a pivotal role in helping us navigate through the painful and personal phase we were experiencing. I do not doubt that Ericka's approach and expertise would benefit any individual or family seeking support and guidance during challenging times.

Becoming a leader involves developing new perspectives and self-awareness, facing difficulties with unusual calm, and defining reality to provoke change and innovation. Ericka Kelly serves international executives who have reached the edge of their own comfort zone and must either develop new resources within themselves or retreat. In Coaching, she is poised and focused. I know Ericka Kelly became a Coach after 25 years of experience in military command positions, reaching the position of Chief Sergeant in the Air Force, serving in paramedic assignments in combat, and carrying out 27 years in law enforcement near the border. In becoming a Coach, she has come into total mastery of the inner processes that helped her in the past and contributed to her maturity and influential practice. Coaching with her is challenging, but her empathy and intuition allow those inner resources to develop within. She is a world-standard Coach, and I recommend her. Her clients are self-directed and ready to engage in an actual coaching experience that can only be led by a world-standard Coach.

If you are an individual or a business or a group that is on the fence about hiring or inviting Ericka Kelly to be your speaker or facilitator in training on topics of leadership, growth, or DE&I and more, I will tell you to hesitate no more. Ericka’s an amazing person, speaker, and facilitator on these, sometimes difficult, topics. Her story about where she came from to where she is now is one of the most inspirational stories you will ever hear and the grace and passion that she delivers her story, and the way she delivers it, will make you think about your story and how you handle your setbacks and your growth. Ericka’s words, her training, her coaching, and her grace has had a wonderful and major impact on my life, and I know she will for you as well.

I have known Ericka Kelly for over two years. We met on a Zoom meeting with other liked minded business mentors and coaches, and she reached out to invite me to one of her Mastermind Groups on “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth”. That was my first mastermind group, and I was extremely impressed! Her training/teaching skills are excellent. She encourages everyone to express their feelings on the topic and share their thoughts. With her guidance, I have begun to host my own seminars! Ericka dedicates her time to helping her client. She is an inspiring mentor and role model. I am honored to call her my friend. If you are looking for someone with the highest coaching credential or a fantastic speaker, do not hesitate, call Ericka!

Words can't even begin to describe how I feel right now... Let's just say that I've just had one of THE MOST AMAZING weekends!! I pleasure and honor of receiving mentorship, self-growth and personal development training from Ericka Kelly Enterprises!! Her visit was absolutely surreal to me!! Prior to taking her classes, I was barely coming out from some dark, hard times in both my personal life and Air Force career. Still feeling overwhelmed during those times, it was those very words, "Leadership is for everyone." that was a the beacon of hope I needed to hear (figuratively speaking). In taking her classes, it has taught how to better communicate with people including my leadership, peers, airmen and friends. Thanks to her weekly courses, I've been able to strengthen the bond with some friends I've already known and I've also met some pretty amazing leaders that I can call family. This journey of self-growth, both personal and professional development has just been extraordinary. Thank you Chief for your time, your mentorship, sharing your wisdom, and adding value to my life. If given the opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend taking her courses!!

Thank you!!! You have a part in my promotion and being selected as an annual award winner. I cannot be more thankful that we crossed paths. You are am amazing mentor, leader, and human being. I wanted you to know that you are by far one of my favorite people. You have built me up through my toughest times, shown me my worth, and betted on me even when I wasn't willing to do it myself. Thank you Chief! Because of you and these classes I walk in a room cool as a popsicle and can speak without confidence and from the heart. I have realized how others see my confidence.

Ericka Kelly is the coach and mentor I've been longing for! I first heard of Chief Kelly from a friend that was trying out her John Maxwell classes. I was instantly intrigued because I've been a huge fan of John Maxwell for quite some time and I always looked for opportunities for self-growth and development. When my friend finished her first course, she recommended that I take it for the next round. From there, I was hooked! I have been taking courses with Chief regularly since then so much so that I recommended to my squadron leadership that our entire unit will benefit if we invested in her presentations. Chief's reputation speaks for itself in the Air Force Reserves, but her life experiences, expertise in her professional roles, made her the perfect presenter for our unit. She understands the ins and outs of the Military and the Reserves, the good, the bad, the ugly. She spoke about resiliency, managing a force through change, self-growth, credibility, diversity, communication, and development. The audience was intrigued throughout the entire weekend, and were left wanting more, many of them wanting individual time with her. It's been a few days since the training sessions, but every day since I have heard quotes or references from the training! We're planning for more sessions in the future! Personally, Chief Kelly has brought so much positive to my life in the short 10 months I've known her. I met her for the first time in person this past weekend and I felt like I've known her for years. She even has helped my husband and I with our resume, and coached me in the interview process which contributed to my most recent promotion! I cannot thank Chief Kelly enough for being a positive influence in my life!

I first met CMSgt Ericka Kelly at my Senior Leadership Development course at Robins AFB as she came to speak to our class when she was serving as AFRC Command Chief. Some of the stories and feedback she provided allowed me to understand many avenues of leadership in a different perspective. A few years later, I was fortunate enough to join her for 3 John Maxwell mastermind courses and she's really instilled a variety of traits on leadership to help me as I continue my career in the Air Force. I'm very fortunate to be involved with these particular courses and would highly recommend Ericka Kelly to speak within your business, military units or just one on one as she has made it clear through all my courses. She's here to help others and better someone, as we're all valuable in some way.
