R. Glenn Kelly - Motivational Speaker, Author, Grief & Growth Coach

Meet R. Glenn

An engaging, dynamic and inspirational speaker, R. Glenn's high energy, expertise in grief and bereavement, as well as his personal experience as a grieving father and business executive are the perfect ways to bring insight and management techniques for mitigating the hidden revenue costs from grief and personal crisis in the workplace. He is an experienced Keynote Speaker and Workshop Presenter, mixing his own loss experience with knowledge and humor to help leaders become aware that the bereaved do not "Just Get over It." R. Glenn imparts the experience of being a former business executive and a bereaved father to provide awareness that grief is not just about the loss of a loved one. Employees can also experience profound grief after an unwanted divorce, a major change to personal health, a grown child leaving the nest, and along with so many other worksite events, the death of a co-worker or company leader. Each of these can have a negative influence on work, productivity, and the bottom line.

R. Glenn has been "through the fire" of traumatic loss. His mission now is to inspire hope and healing through the experience and expertise gained after the passing of his son, Jonathan. He seeks to have others embrace the understanding that the loss of a loved one will impact a bereaved soul at home and at work. With support on the job, the griever can better move forward in the healthy healing processes. R. Glenn will inspire your leaders to build trusting relationships, decrease costs and injuries, and increase productivity through his motivational Grief in the Workplace Leadership Seminars.

GRIEF IN THE WORKPLACE
Recover Hidden Revenue and Productivity Loss
Driven by Employee Bereavement and Grief

Organizations across America are losing the astounding figure of over $100 billion in annual business revenue due to the adverse impacts of grieving employees on the job. Through Grief in the Workplace, R. Glenn Kelly takes the unusual view that not only should the bereaved employee be treated with compassion, but the best interests of the organization must always be accounted for. This book is an invaluable business management tool that should be in the top desk drawer of every leader in any company or agency. The awareness, understanding, and concepts found within will not only mitigate the massive, yet hidden, direct and indirect costs of grief, but it will actually do so at little to no cost to the organization.

From Tragedy to a Life Filled with Peace and Purpose

R. Glenn Kelly had an good life. "Good" would tragically come to an end, however, after his precious sixteen year old son and only child, Jonathan, unexpectedly passed away when a rare heart disease took his life. He had been a Marine, cop, businessman, and proud, loving father to Jonathan, but with all of that behind him, he was left immobilized by the most profound of questions; "Who am I now?" With an internal desire to understand himself, R. Glenn sought out publications on male grief, but found very little. When the need to understand did not fade, he turned to research and publications on male and female emotional behaviorism. Then, after coming to a point that he felt he was moving forward in a healthy way, R. Glenn would publish his first award winning book, "Sometimes I Cry in the Shower."

Today, R. Glenn is a highly sought and very dynamic public speaker, workshop presenter, and corporate trainer. He speaks at national and regional conferences, universities, businesses, churches, civic organizations and more. He has appeared on multiple television and radio programs, as well as organized webinars and other streaming media to discuss his area of expertise; male vs. female grief, the impacts of grief and bereavement on the workplace, and developing a healthy ego. R. Glenn has dedicated his life to the legacy left by his son, Jonathan, to serve others who seek understanding, healing, and personal growth.
