Her work dealing with the intersection of social learning and digital participation appears in many esteemed publications such as the Journal of Business Research and the International Journal of Human-Computer Relations.

Kelly has delivered workshops, talks, and creative projects in Wales, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Canada, Australia, and the US.

Kelly shares 5 tips for anyone scared about starting a new venture:

1. Step into action. We hold back when we’re scared. Action propels us through fear.

2. Network with like-minded souls. Get out into the world with people who are starting new things.

3. Find a mentor. Someone who inspires you. They don’t have to be a businessperson.

4. Partner with people. Businesses don’t live in a silo. Share ideas and find ways to support one another.

5. Look after yourself. If you’re not socially, physically, and emotionally healthy, your venture won’t be either.
