Celebrating 7 Years of The Kelly Merbler Company!
Seven years ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to bet on myself. It wasn’t an easy decision, and it certainly came with its challenges, but it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Today, as we celebrate the seven-year anniversary of The Kelly Merbler Company, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the journey, the lessons, and the incredible people who have been part of this story.
Over the past seven years, we’ve trained and developed thousands of leaders, empowering them to lead with purpose, clarity, and strength. We’ve partnered with hundreds of organizations to create company cultures that thrive—cultures where employees are engaged, where their unique strengths are celebrated, and where teams collaborate to achieve great things together. This work has been the heartbeat of our mission, and it’s what drives me every single day.
None of this would have been possible without the support, belief, and encouragement from so many of you. Whether you’ve been a client, a colleague, a mentor, or a cheerleader from afar, please know that you’ve made a difference. You believed in me, and that belief gave me the courage to keep pushing forward, even when the path was uncertain. Thank you for walking alongside me in this journey—your support means more than words can express.
This past year has been one of growth and expansion for The Kelly Merbler Company. We’ve been building our team, bringing in talented executive coaches and subject matter experts who share our passion for leadership development. We’ve even expanded our services to include recruiting, ensuring that organizations not only develop great leaders but also find the right people to join their teams. Together, we are reaching more leaders, more organizations, and creating even more impact.
As I reflect on this milestone, I’m reminded of what inspired me to start this company in the first place. It’s always been about helping organizations develop great leaders because great leaders create engaged employees. And engaged employees? They build cultures that inspire, innovate, and achieve. That mission hasn’t changed—if anything, it’s only grown stronger.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking on incredible stages, sharing insights and inspiration with audiences around the world. These moments have been some of the most rewarding of my career, and I’m committed to continuing to grow this area of my business. If you’re planning an event or conference and are looking for a speaker who can inspire, equip, and engage, I’d be honored to partner with you.
When I think about where this journey started, I can’t help but imagine what life would have been like if I hadn’t taken that leap. There would be no Kelly Merbler Company, no Coffee with Kelly, and no Senior Significance Project. But because I decided to take a risk, I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people and organizations, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart and my business.
And yet, I know there is still so much more to do. The journey is far from over, and I’m excited about what’s to come. To all of you who have been part of this journey, thank you. Your support, trust, and encouragement have made all the difference. I look forward to continuing to serve you, to dream bigger, and to make an even greater impact in the years ahead.
Here’s to the next chapter and all the possibilities it holds. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey—I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.
To Your Growth,
Kelly
