About
Kelly Jahner-Byrne, CSP®, The HOW GAL™, is a keynote speaker, humorist, executive coach, and three-time best-selling author who helps people turn conversations into connections—and connections into business. Her premise: everyone is selling something. The question is whether anyone is buying.
A TEDx speaker who has addressed audiences of up to 8,000, Kelly pairs sharp wit with practical tools to help sales teams, franchise organizations, and business leaders build relationships, sell smarter, and lead with confidence. A travel and hospitality industry veteran and franchise audience favorite, she knows how to win people over—and keep them coming back.
Kelly also founded The HOW Conference™, a premier boutique women’s business conference in the Twin Cities, with ten consecutive sellouts. A master networker, she teaches that your network is your net worth—but collecting business cards doesn’t count as building relationships.
Audiences leave with a smile, empowered to act—with greater clarity, stronger connections, and specific action items they can implement by lunchtime tomorrow.
