My Mission
I want to help you identify the obstacles holding them back from their full potential, implement steps to overcome these obstacles, and create an accountability process that allows you to meet your goals. When you book a talk with me, you get the steps you NEED to build a better life. Want to see it with your own eyes? I'm walking proof!
Meet Kerry
My life mantra is, "If it is going to be, it is up to me!" I'm a self-described "late bloomer," and life has led me to achieve some of my ambitions at an older age than most:
- Becoming a working actor in my 30s
- Running my first of nine marathons, starting at age 46
- Starting my own company, "Stiles Impressions, LLC," at age 61
- Launching my podcast "Everyday People, Extraordinary Lives" at age 69, with nearly 100 episodes and over 7500 podcast downloads
- And now, transitioning to a professional speaker at age 72
I know how to overcome stalls and conquer setbacks because I've lived it. Age doesn't define what anyone can or can't accomplish, and it's my job to help you prove that!
I may seem like all business, but my family is what keeps me going. My wife Kathy and I are blessed with three children and nine grandchildren.
I'm also the founder and leader of the Foxfire Newgrass Bluegrass band, and if you're lucky, you may catch me around Middle Tennessee singing and playing my banjo.
Kerry's Talk
The H.O.P.E. Method of Discovery
Retirement is often imagined as a season of freedom and fulfillment. However, it can also bring a loss of identity, nagging doubts, and the belief that you've passed the peak of your life. These silent obstacles can leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, and uncertain about the journey ahead. If you are facing any of these challenges, YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
In this inspiring keynote, I reveal how to recognize and release the limiting beliefs that quietly hold you back. Through positive self-evaluation and practical tools, participants will learn how to redefine what is possible, reignite their sense of purpose, and chart a clear path toward a more fulfilling life. The truth is, the rest of your life CAN BE the best of your life.
These limited beliefs can be minimized and even eliminated by implementing my own H.O.P.E. method of discovery:
-
H-(Honesty)- being Honest with ourselves as to where we are vs where we would like to be
-
O-(Open)-being Open and committed to make the necessary changes to move forward
-
P-(Pursue)- Pursuing the necessary action steps to improvement
-
E-(Excellence)- wanting to commit to everything you want to accomplish with Excellence
