In a world where finding your voice is a transformative journey, let me take you on my adventure from pub rooms to global boardrooms. I’m Keely, the Founder and CEO of I am More Academy, and I’m not just a coach—I’m a lioness, standing tall and roaring for the global empowerment of women.
Keely’s Transformative Impact
My coaching journey is more than just testimonials; it’s stories of profound impact. Clients have left feedback saying, “What she taught me about myself, about life, and how to cope with it, has been nothing I could have ever read in a book or listened to on a podcast.” These are echoes of women advocating for themselves and finding their unique voices through coaching.
From Pubs to Passion
At 21, fresh from graduation and fuelled by youthful ambition, I wasn’t crafting polished business plans—I was juggling exams, family life, and the demanding reins of my own pub restaurant as a licensee. It was trial by fire in the hospitality cauldron, a whirlwind of 16-hour days where chaos was king, and resilience, resourcefulness, and the art of controlled mayhem became my secret weapons. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was where I learned to thrive under pressure, build a rock-solid work ethic, and discover the power of saying “yes” to opportunities even when you’re not entirely sure what it’s all about. An unexpected invitation to a presentation that changed my life path forever. This wasn’t ever part of the grand plan, but it was the fertile ground where my entrepreneurial seeds first sprouted.
My voice was once powerful and controlled within the chaos of a pub, but the turning point came with a ‘Sliding Doors’ moment. Network marketing became more than a side hustle; it propelled me onto a wild, life-changing detour. Icons like Tony Robbins and Richard Branson weren’t just giants to meet—they were lighthouses igniting a fire in my soul, a fire that refuses to be contained.
Empowering Young Voices
My impact also reaches young teens, their journey of finding their voice and identity is empowering to me. With my guidance and mentorship, I get to share my childhood story. This resonates with them profoundly and lets them know that our past does not have to define our future, that they are enough, and that they can achieve anything they put their heart to. I love it when they say to me: “This is so much better than therapy” and “I can relate to you so much.” Their vulnerability fuels my fire, and their voices become part of the symphony of empowerment I aim to echo across the globe.
A New Charitable Arm
The impact of my voice goes beyond coaching glamour; it led to a new charitable arm within my company. Together, our voices collaborate, echoing empowerment worldwide. It’s a movement to be the change we want to see, offering transformation and empowerment to those who may not be able to afford it. Opening opportunities to not just impact within my home of the UK but for other companies to collaborate as together we thrive.
This is me, Keely, and this is my voice—a lioness inspiring a global journey of empowerment. It’s a voice that doesn’t just talk about coaching; it shares stories of sliding doors moments, passion, and purpose. Join me in finding your voice, advocating for yourself, and being part of a global movement that echoes empowerment across the world.
