KD - As Seen In 2022

I’m Kelly Diels

Writer, Speaker and Expert on Culture & Culture-Making

My research & frameworks help you use your culture making power to grow a robust and transformational body of work — so you can make the difference you’re dreaming of.

In your business, your life, and the lives of others.

I know that yes, we’re shaped by what we’re born into.

But nope, that’s not the end of the story.

Let’s Shape Back.

Because We Are The Culture Makers.

I admit, I’m not Generation X or Y.

I’m Generation O, for Oprah.

Oprah says use your life and I take it to heart.

I believe in

  • Using your life to make a difference in other people lives.
  • Changing conditions (and conditioning) so everyone can flourish.
  • Growing your talents, your skills, your power and your influence so you can flourish, too — right now, not just in some hypothetical future.

In other words:
I believe in being a culture maker.

ere’s the problem…

A lot of what we do and say — and even what we think — is predetermined by our conditioning and our material conditions.

In other words, the voice of culture is OFTEN working through us without our consent.

But culture isn’t just ‘out there’ or something that happens to us.

It happens through us.

If all of us disappeared tomorrow, so would our culture -- which means we are the vector.

And that reveals a huge opportunity: we get to choose how to deliberately use our culture-making power.

Instead of letting a toxic culture flow through us, we can learn how to interrupt it — and then use our skills & power to make a better one.

In our businesses, our lives and the world we live in, together.

Dear Multi-Passionate Maker,⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Maybe you don't have Shiny Object Syndrome.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Maybe you've been studying & practicing all of these modalities because you're developing a rich body of work, across time.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
(No maybe about it.)⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Multi-passionate professionals often get told that they're "scattered" & need to focus.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
They then internalize negative messages insisting that  their orientation towards lifelong learning, curiosity & creativity is a barrier to success.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
IT'S NOT.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
It's how we build the deep work & creative solutions needed for these urgent times.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Often, when I work with multi-passionate professionals, it's wildly obvious to me that they're collecting tools, synthesizing across traditions -- and making a whole new thing! -- in order to solve complex social problems.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
They've been gathering all.the.tools.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
You know what all those tools add up to? ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
A practice. A way of doing things. A framework. Your unique process.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
***You have a methodology.*** ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
So let's build language for it and NAME IT, specifically.⁠⠀⁠
⁠
Naming your method makes it tangible AND SALEABLE.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Now it now gets a lot easier to explain it to other people...⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
...and becomes more obvious why they might want to work with you :)⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Once you name it, you substantiate it. ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
****Including to yourself.****⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Now YOU can see how everything you've trained in has led up to this, has prepared you for this work.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
⁠Because, dear Multi-passionate Maker, you're NOT spinning your wheels or getting distracted by shiny things.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
You're growing the solutions & institutions of the future.⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
Let's make sure you've got the language to describe them. ⁠⠀⁠
⁠⠀⁠
love + justice,⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠
Kelly⁠⠀⁠

I repeat:⁠
⁠
Self-promotion is NOT a distraction from your Body of Work - it’s a lab for your thought leadership!⁠
⁠
People often think social media is frivolous. A time-suck.⁠
⁠
Or that marketing, networking & self-promotion take your time away from the *real* work.⁠
⁠
But in my latest blog post, I’m sharing with you 3 surprising key activities that will add up to a SIGNIFICANT and MEANINGFUL Body of Work.⁠
