Cristy is a Certified John Maxwell Coach and Maxwell Method DISC Consultant. She especially enjoys traveling to other countries with Dr. Maxwell, The John Maxwell Foundation, and The John Maxwell Team to participate in Country Transformation Initiatives as a leadership facilitator.

Her passion is doing life with her family and friends, sharing John's proven leadership principles, and serving faith-based nonprofit boards and organizations.

Kelly Neff
Kelly believes that intentional personal growth and a positive support system are two vital keys to success, particularly when facing adversity. She credits these two vital keys to success and her faith as the foundation for surviving and thriving in the aftermath of tragic loss. She lost her son to suicide and her husband to cancer.
She believes that difficult circumstances can be the best possible training ground for success, if we are willing to look for the lessons in them and do the hard work necessary to stretch and grow.

Kelly is a certified speaker, trainer, and coach with The John Maxwell Team, a Maxwell Method DISC Behavioral Analysis Consultant, and a certified Enneagram Motions of the Soul Practitioner.

She uses her training in leadership, behavioral styles, and personality types to help others discover self-awareness. She believes that growing in self-awareness helps us build better relationships and in turn create healthy home and work environments positioned for success.
In her free time, Kelly loves to laugh, dance, climb mountains, and enjoy life with her family and friends.
