She has the keen ability to leverage data and manage the human side of this work to bring forth success. Through her work, I’ve been able to move the needle in a meaningful way. Kelley makes strategy sexy.
Working with [Burn Bright] has been a great experience. They are superb at translating deep expertise in mental health into an engaging and impactful experience for participants. They took the time to understand our organization’s mission-driven, scientific culture. We were able to create multiple workshops that served our community, and I happily referred them to colleagues at other organizations because of the quality of their work.
Wellbeing Director at The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
We worked with Kelley on a Fortune 500 C-level leadership offsite event. She took time to deeply understand the audience so she could deliver the most impactful presentation, guide difficult but necessary discussions, and facilitate workshops to help the team evolve their thinking and behaviors. Her approach to inclusive innovation, diversity and belonging was presented in the context of broader corporate goals and strategies, creating the necessary connection between the two for our client. She is truly a powerhouse and is uniquely skilled at moving the needle on helping teams operate with an “inclusive innovation” approach. We could not recommend her enough and look forward to teaming up with her again!

Group Therapy Program at Clinton Correctional Facility
Created a behavioral modification program for men who were labeled the worst behaved inmates in the state, from scratch and without budget.
This program had the highest reduction in behavior violations across the state, reducing behavior violations by 80%. Inmates who had hundreds of violations and were offending daily went 6 months in the program without a violation.
Developed prevention programming for overseas military bases
We created delivery model for sexual assault prevention programs that took the base from 4% to 96% compliant with Air Force standards within 6 months.
We worked with the CDC to create novel curriculum on violence prevention (sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and bullying).
We developed a curriculum (leadernomics for prevention) to teach fellow violence preventionists how to create impactful and results driven programming.
This work was called a benchmark in the Air Force by the Pentagon.
Premier government workplace violence prevention and response program
Over the course of 4 years, we created a program from scratch that garnered praise from Congress, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Whitehouse.
We assisted with the development and creation of a marketing plan for a workplace culture assessment that was benchmarked by National Academies of Science.
We created a Risk mitigation strategy for the reduction of sexual misconduct in the workplace that was called revolutionary by Anita Hill and endorsed by the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, and staff from the UN.
Within 4 years, we increased the budget 550% with congressional approval, and increased staff from 1-9 within 3 years.
