Kelly's presentation skills, her poise and confidence, her charm and smile make her a natural in this business. Getting the message across is her stock in trade and few do it better! Kelly knows preparation and presentation are everything. I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough.
AVESCO
Thank you for the wonderful way you MC'd the ACORN conference in Adelaide. I also really appreciated the jovial way you presented the dreary housekeeping issues! Loved it. I was awarded the ACORN Research grant at the conference and you recommended I email you so you could forward onto me your experience of your Caesarean section. I would love to read a patient's view point and I do look forward to reading it. Again thankyou for your lovely input into our conference and I hope to continue to come across you as our life journeys continue.

Kelly Nestor's Biography
Growing up in the Outback town of Broken Hill, Kelly was taught to play straight, be brave and keep smiling – all qualities which have earned her the trust of millions of Australians to deliver their news, host their events and help get to the heart of their issues.
As an MC Kelly’s a passionate researcher who goes the extra mile to understand the organisation and its expectations. "As a compere, it's my role to bring an audience along with me while achieving the outcomes set by event organisers. I am flexible, focussed and fun!”
As a freelance journalist Kelly can be behind the mic in all sorts of environments, from simple 'pick up' interviews for inclusion into broader stories to in-depth stand-alone interviews done in a one-on-one style which on their own can live as stories on the web, and on bigger screens.
As a producer of visual content, Kelly knows how to create content which pops, and makes you look and sound great.
Add a point of difference with Kelly on your next TV, Radio or Online program or interview. Kelly's broadcast presenting and producing experience, along with her life experiences, brings passion and insight, which is unforgettable.
As a Presentation Skills Trainer Kelly’s thoughtful and considered approach can help guide you through the psychology and practicalities of presenting to an audience – whether you are required to present a conference paper, make a sales pitch, speak as part of a panel, address a board, motivate staff or present to camera.
You can be coached by Kelly one-on-one in presentation skills or become immersed in one of her small workshops to communicate better, which dives into group dynamics to engender a wider experience, in a safe environment.
