Keli Chevalier

Retired U.S. Army Major, spent two decades developing leadership skills under extreme pressure while serving as an officer in the U.S. Army. Keli’s recent retirement from the military has afforded her the opportunity of a life time—to continue service to others as a motivational speaker, head a non-profit organization dedicated to female Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and proud owner of The Chevalier Noir Influence.

Having worked primarily as a public affairs officer for 1, 2, and 3 –star generals, Keli is very experienced in the art of leadership and influence. She is an eternal optimist determined to prove that anyone can learn to be charismatic and influential. Keli helps leaders find their inner strengths and maintain grace under fire while challenging entreprenuers to recognize and overcome their fears by creating a plan of action. Keli assists people in bringing the future into a crystal clear, well-articulated vision. Most importantly, she helps others recognize their self-worth so they can capitalize on the most valuable asset—their personality!

Her philosophy of “Be inspired! Be desired! Or Get fired!™ will leave you with the confidence and encouragement you need to challenge the impossible and redesign your business and leadership goals. Keli completed her Master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma. She is certified in Paul Ekman eMETT and eSETT facial expressions. She is also a John Maxwell certified public speaker. Keli has two incredibly handsome sons (Carlos and Nathaniel) and is married to Max Manlangit (a Jackie Chan look-alike). She resides in Houston, Texas.
