About the Author

Kelli Ware is an author, speaker, certified life coach, CEO, business strategist and veteran of the United States Navy. She's driven by her passion to advocate for those who have yet to find the power in their unique voice and seeing people [especially women] recognize their strength and significance. She believes that every human being has been given specific gifts, talents and capabilities that coupled with their experience, exposure and passion makes their existence on earth necessary. It is her deepest desire to help others identify and ignite their distinct set of abilities and empower them to cultivate and execute their God-given assignment. This was the motivation that led to the authoring of her memoir From Whore-rible to Whole that details her journey from promiscuity to prosperity and promise. She truly believes that by exposing the secrets of her past and publicly owning her truth, women everywhere will be inspired to do the same and be set free from the grips of the things that have haunted them their entire lives. As a motivational speaker, she uses the principles outlined in her book to provoke and inspire women to harness the power of every life experience and use it as a catalyst for living out their purpose. Kelli is also the visionary behind The Strategic Life; a business advisory firm that seamlessly fuses consultancy and coaching from a strategy-rich perspective that is proven to be extremely effective in facilitating accelerated results. ​ Kelli holds a professional certificate in Executive Leadership with an emphasis in Change Management Leadership from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, an Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Strayer University and a certification in life coaching from the Life Coach Training Institute. Kelli is totally committed to using every ounce of her education, experience and expertise to facilitate the success of others. Her life's greatest joy is the gift of being a mother to her only son, Christopher Lee Anthony, II.
