Hi. Holla. Hello 

I am Kelly (Kel) and I am the creator, driver and passion behind Your Start Co. 

My journey into the world of work began on the day I turned 13 and was finally legally allowed to earn my own keep. Fuelled by a drive for independence, I marched right into my local Hungry Jack's armed with an application form and a glowing recommendation (yes, I was already networking back then), and I started working there the following week!

Since that very first job, I've dabbled in a myriad of roles across a diverse range of industries. I've constantly embraced change, seeking new horizons, learning, and growing, all the while pondering the age-old question: "What am I truly meant to be doing in this world?"

What I've come to realise is that, no matter the role I began in, the tasks I ended up doing seemed to follow a similar pattern. I firmly believe it's because as humans, we possess innate talents and abilities that inevitably shine through. Regardless of our initial aspirations, we often find ourselves drawn to the same types of tasks, just in different guises.

The key lies in recognising why we are drawn to these tasks and processes and understanding what within us finds fulfilment in them. Armed with this insight, we can navigate our way forward to living a life that is elevated in all aspects not just one.

 My journey has seen me wear many hats—I've been a barista, opened coffee shops, crafted business strategies, assisted in book launches, worked as a ghost-writer, designed websites, guided individuals through career transitions to discover meaningful work, conducted employee engagement workshops, facilitated innovation, aided in product development, and created online programs. I've explored the vibrant hospitality scene in London and immersed myself in the world of Early Childhood Education on the Sunshine Coast. I've collaborated with prominent US PR personalities to generate headlines for both individuals and businesses, and I've rallied behind charities, helping them raise millions through events, fundraising, and partnerships.

 I have also birthed a child and am now a Mum and a wife too.

Ultimately, what I do and what I have done in nearly every role I have had is supported people move from where they are to where they want to be.

It is just what I do. It is what I have always done.

The work I love most; the thing people value most; the pattern that I found in all my roles was and still is my ability to support an individual to gain clarity in what they were doing or trying to create and then deliver that thing.

It is this deep passion for helping people and the want to support others in the best way I can... fused with a love for ideas, unlimited creativity and getting things done that lead me to today and this venture - a place where I can support you to work out your next thing and then guide, support and enable you to be able to deliver it.

With a Diploma of Counselling and training in NLP and Life Coaching combined with my 20 years of lived experience and marketing, business, and branding success my goal is to help individuals move from stuck to start.

I work in a client-cantered manner and believe that you have the answers for you. My job is to be here to support you to realise those answers and be a partner in creating change and bringing newness to your every day. However, it is your job to take the action, because the truth is that growth and change happens in the doing - the action taking.

My commitment is to provide you with the structure, frameworks, and tools to know what moving forward looks like for you and provide one to one counselling, support, and accountability to get started.

If you are ready to go from stuck to start, book a chat and let's see what we can do together. 

I look forward to meeting you!
