Testimonials

"Kelly from Upstarts is one of the very best interviewers I have come across, she is warm, intelligent, intuitive, and great fun, she has tremendous people skills, but also asks truly interesting questions and has the right level of empathy to accurately gauge when to listen and when to interrupt!"

"I have been interviewed on almost every radio station in the country and I have to say that Upstarts was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have done. Kelly is a professional in every way and her personality cannot but put an interviewee at ease. She is friendly, clear, engaging and pays attention. I highly recommend her."

"It's always a pleasure when Kelly's doing my interview.

The times I've had this experience I have found Kelly to be thorough in her subject research which shows up in her intelligent questioning.

She knows how to get great content out of the interviewee whilst showing them up to be experts in their field.

Kelly’s relaxed yet confident demeanour has a way of making the interviewee feel relaxed and gives them the space to demonstrate that knowledge.

I have also watched as she has managed several interviewees at the same time, making sure that each of them has got their fair share of airtime. A skill in itself!"

" Kelly, I just want to send you my heartfelt appreciation for what you have done for me. 

Giving inspiration and life to the work that we do with your unique way with words. Also, the fact that you listened to what I was trying to say to my clients, and you just got it!!!

Kelly, your description of my work was almost like a story to be told and you described in detail exactly what I do and where I am coming from. You make it easy for my clients to understand. Thank you, Kelly.  

My sales have gone up since, and much appreciation for having me as a guest on your radio show too, which I found to be an absolute pleasure. 

I was nervous at first!! But that was soon diminished by your very warm enthusiastic welcome, putting me at ease immediately. It was like catching up with an old friend and the conversation just flowed, as you are so easy to chat with.

Kelly, I wish you every success in all that you do, as you are a very talented inspirational kind person and I am very blessed to know you.

Heartfelt appreciation for everything, and mostly for listening to my requests, as this is a rare quality to find these days.""
