 | Lynne is a graduate of IPEC Coaching, a fully accredited coach training. Within three years of certification, she was invited to join Deloitte & Touche—the first external coach to penetrate their internal world of coaching.
Deloitte’s National Director of HR hired Lynne to service the HR community of 900 people, which led to her working with all the functions and service lines at Deloitte. Within two weeks, Lynne hit the ground running, creating a coaching skills workshop for the HR channel. This workshop and training, which was eventually retooled, is now presented––often by Lynne herself ––to Deloitte’s 45,000 employees at all levels. Lynne was the number one requested coach and facilitator. As an independent contractor, she is still hired to make presentations for Deloitte and can now offer her services to you.
Her most recent creation, called “Thinking Your Way to A Better Career,” rapidly became a highly requested and cutting-edge presentation. In 2006, Lynne received the certification of Master Certified Coach (MCC) by the Internal Coach Federation, the highest degree awarded to coaches. She has created several additional trainings, addressing current economic, generational and global challenges that can be readily customized to your organization. |
 | Twelve years ago, Jeanne Kelly went from being a new mom in her twenties living in a new house, to a divorced, single mother living in a tiny cottage on her parent’s farm. In picking up the pieces of her life Jeanne's first priority was to create financial independence. Her goal was to get her own credit, buy her own car and eventually buy a house.
That quest for financial freedom was quickly dampened by the realization that she had bad credit. The most upsetting thing to her was that she had no idea that her credit was this bad and how it happened. All the goals she had set out for herself felt like pipe dreams.
In search of a job to make ends meet and through a series of circumstances it became a natural transition for her to get a job as a subcontractor for a credit repair company. This experience opened her eyes to what was possible. Jeanne worked hard and researched the credit industry and found out that FICO scoring is the cornerstone to financial freedom. She repaired her own credit reports, increased her FICO score and began her new life (self-directed and in financial control). Thus, The Kelly Group was born, and has since gone on to become one of the most legitimate and successful credit consulting companies in the northeast.
Jeanne and her Kelly Group provide credit counseling to individuals, businesses and groups. Understanding that maintaining a strong credit report is a lifelong process, they also coach people on managing/monitoring their credit profile. Most recently Jeanne has been heard as a guest on the radio in which the current credit crisis was the topic. She has also been quoted in several newspapers, magazines and online financial sites such as CNN, Money, and the NY Times.
Ms. Kelly lives in Rhinebeck, NY with her daughter, Cassandra. |
