  • How do you face paralyzing fears to become a trailblazer others want to follow? Kelli Masters reveals her secret of writing a courageous story with her life, and invites you to join her in a powerful life of purpose and authenticity. This talk is for the person who often feels stuck, confused, and alone in the world - your greatest adventure is ahead. Kelli shares the path into your best life if you will pioneer forward. Widely recognized as one of the most influential women in sports business, Kelli Masters often hears, “You have a DREAM JOB.” But she chooses to inspire others not just with her successes, but with her vulnerability, sharing not only the victories but also the battles and failures along the way. Kelli is an attorney, an NFL sports agent, and Founder and President of KMM Sports, a full-service sports management company. She has represented more professional athletes than any woman in the industry, having served as agent/contract advisor to players in every NFL draft since 2006 as well as numerous athletes in the MLB draft and the Olympics. In 2010, she made history as the first woman to represent a first round pick in the NFL Draft. Her story of progress through pain was featured as part of Motrin’s national “Women in Progress” campaign in 2017.
    Kelli is a former National and World Champion baton twirler, and was also Miss Oklahoma 1997, winning awards for talent and community service at the Miss America pageant that year. Currently, Kelli serves as an Adjunct Professor at Oklahoma City University and Oklahoma Christian University, teaching Sports Law. She is a sought-after writer and speaker on topics of sports and nonprofit as well as leadership, diversity and discovering purpose in life. Her first book, Dream Job, will launch in 2019. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Kelli, I have been proud of the fact that I have known you & your family since you were in the 8th Grade when you and your sister performed at halftime of an OU Basketball game. I am so proud of all your accomplishments! You Go Young Lady!

    Kelli you’ve made me cry this morning listening to your story, and you’re not even here. I can’t wait for you to meet my brother Austin McCortie. He is a young man who paused his dreams to care for his dad, after his dad had his fourth stroke. He is a true believer and true servant. I believe he is destined for greatness. I would be honored if he received direction and inspiration from you and your team.
