*“Kelly joined our team at the Oxfam EU Office to co-organize and facilitate the third edition of the Spark EU Climate Action program, an activist training workshop that consists of an 8-week online course with 50+ participants and a 4-day face-to-face event in Brussels for 28 young climate activists from around the world interested in advocating for and influencing EU and global climate policies.

Right from the start, she was able to jump straight into the team, bringing strong organisational and project management skills to the table. Her contribution assisted us in turning the event from a concept on paper to a reality. As a facilitator, Kelly got involved in shaping the sessions to ensure they were interactive and engaging. She ensured all speakers stayed on track and also managed to be flexible to the needs of the participants.”*

*“Working with Kelly has had a tremendous effect on the way my team organises its projects and workload, and that was not even the main objective of her assignment!

She joined Friends of the Earth Europe as a project manager for an ambitious project that encompassed planning and launching a travelling photo exhibition. She created a workflow and work environment that helped us reach our goals on time and within our budget. She brought in lots of clear ideas and energy from the start and quickly understood our goals and objectives.

What sets her apart is that she is able to build trust with people in and outside of the organisation she is working with, and that she is creative and flexible when it comes to supporting the efforts of the project. In our case, she became an integral part of the team and instilled a sense of calm and clarity when we needed it most. I could not recommend her more.”*

*“Kelly planned and facilitated a strategy and team-building retreat for us. She did a great job from start to finish.

We have a way of diving into the weeds at any moment and during the planning phase, Kelly kept us focused on the big picture, bringing us back to our meeting objectives and figuring out ways to get there. She struck a great balance of letting us lead the content while weighing in on how to facilitate each session for the greatest chance of success.

She also did a great job facilitating the retreat itself. She is approachable and friendly but also comes across as knowledgeable and serious. She was great at smoothing over any tensions that arose in the room and was adaptable - able to adjust to changes on the fly.

Kelly is creative and knowledgeable and understands team dynamics and how to facilitate effectively. I would highly recommend Kelly for any facilitation needs you might have*.”

Karin Hirschfeld, Senior Policy Manager Aid and Development Finance at Oxfam America, 2023.

“Welcoming Kelly into our co-working and business space in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina helped us open new perspectives of work, and especially teamwork.

Kelly has a great inquisitive mind and a communication superpower that can elevate any team she works with. She organized teambuilding sessions for us that extrapolated our best qualities and answered some challenges we didn't know how to tackle before.

She is adaptable and creative and approaches every person and task with an open heart and a great amount of positive energy. She always offers a meta approach to a problem and she sees the moving pieces of a process at any given moment clearly and approaches it with empathy and understanding.

This was a fantastic experience for the whole team to achieve new personal goals and helped us get some new clients as well!”

Emina Vukovic, Strategic Partnerships at tershouse, 2023

“The bottom line is - 'Work with Kelly'.

I have, as a client and a colleague.

Kelly is highly dedicated to her practice and all the right keywords reflect the way she operates. Efficient, coherent, effective, fun, assertive, considered, inclusive, empathic, and yeah - all those words.

But like, really, they all represent who Kelly is and how she works. It's motivating to witness and experience.

Working with a clear moral compass. She knows the world she wants to serve and doesn't deviate, it's truly inspirational.

So yeah, if you get the opportunity to work with Kelly, don't pass it up.”
