Updates and New Email

Jan 19, 2026

Catching up, smoothing out the business bumps, and making time for something new.

I love my work, but I’m not so keen on sending out invoices or using social media or figuring out how my calendar interoperates with, well with whatever it interoperates with. I’ve been saying for quite some time that I need someone to work with me on all those businessy-paper-worky type details, and now it is happening.

Invoices are now automated (sorry about all the late ones that will be sent this week), the calendar is about to interoperate, and the social medias will be attended to (still by me, but as of last week there is now a communications plan that makes sense of it all – or as much as social media can make sense). Come find me on LinkedIn and my brand new accounts on Instagram and Facebook.

The website, Life and Work with Babs Kelly, is updated, including the removal of the blasted contact form that did not send your requests through to me. Apologies for that. From here on in, just email me at [email protected].

All this smoothing out leaves time for more clients and to get new initiatives out the door, including a public library research project and, hold onto your hats, sometime soonish adding YouTube to the ways that I connect with you.


Reminder! The Winter Renewal Coaching Offer for subscribers only is filling up fast and ends on March 20th.

Huge thanks to all of you who have booked coaching sessions, strategic planning, team retreats, governance events, and leadership workshops for 2026. You are building a courageous leadership community and I’m honoured to be here for you.

With gratitude,

Babs
