Learn One Funny, Unflappable Woman’s No-Fail Recipe for Resilience.

Author, speaker and entrepreneur Kelly STANDING has been hit by a car, struck by lightning and hanged from a tree. At age 29, she went into the "Bright Light" but lived to tell … still STANDING … still smiling. Like most of us, Kelly has faced everyday human hiccups, too – gossip, bullies, career woes, parenting panics, tight finances and more. She suggests some of her mishaps (and perhaps ours) qualify as "self-inflicted." All of us stand in our own way sometimes, but we can rally and rise above. Kelly doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but this award-winning speaker offers inspiring lessons from her own life. Sometimes startling. Frequently funny. Totally true.

Over the past 30 years, Kelly STANDING has raised a daughter, launched three successful companies and has checked off nearly every item on her Bucket List. She offers fun, practical, even life-altering lessons in resilience, adapting to change, self-mastery and legacy through STANDING Media, LLC. Her programs and one-on-one coaching have encouraged thousands of students, salespeople, CEOs and celebrities on two continents to stand and deliver their best. Kelly’s speaking career took her to the World Championship of Public Speaking in 2001. She ranked in the top nine speakers in the world out of 25,000 competitors and 180,000 Toastmasters. In 2012, Kelly went from speaker and coach to author with her memoir, I’M STILL STANDING: How One Woman’s Brushes with Death Taught Her How To Live.

"Trauma tends to either lead us into blind alleys or to open up new vistas. Kelly Standing’s story—spiritually and pragmatically—is a shining example of the posttraumatic growth that can result from the most terrible traumas. What she ultimately teaches is the attitude of resilience. All of us, survivors and non-survivors alike, have something to learn from her remarkable story and the amazing fact that she’s still standing."
