As a Motivational Coach and Speaker, my goal is "to empower people move to the next level of success in their lives." Many people have asked for more information about me and why I am qualified to motivate others. So here's a little bit about me and how I got here. It all started back in Fresno, CA where I was born and raised. As a child I knew I had a calling to help people be happier and live better lives. I knew this because I was keenly observant of people. I observed people and how they lived their lives. At age 10 a friend's family invited me to a musical show called "Up With People!" This show had a major impact on me, and brought up my passion to help people be happier. Although my parents didn't care about my grades, I received all A's in school except I always failed Oral English. I couldn't get up in front of the class and speak. What kept me going in school was my desire for a career in the helping/teaching profession, so I could help others become more successful. The females in my family were discouraged from going to college, so higher education became my way of rebelling. I earned my B.A. in Education from CSU Fresno. During college I had some wonderful professors who took me under their wing and encouraged me to speak in class. I learned that I enjoyed teaching and actually had a gift that had previously been repressed. I went on to get my teaching credential and taught Jr. and Sr. High School for 7 years. I went from a shy little girl who couldn't speak in front of the class to a big girl who couldn't STOP speaking in front of the class! Teaching adolescents was an amazing experience! I found that I wanted to work with them more one-on-one, so I went back to college to become a counselor. I received my M.S. in Counseling/Psychology from the University of Miami and became licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist. Initially I set out to get a wide range of experience. I worked in a children's psych hospital in dual diagnosis, managed a residential treatment program for severely emotionally disturbed teenage girls, conducted biofeedback therapy for a pain management center, and worked in social services in the areas of foster care, child abuse and family reunification. Once I became licensed I worked in a private counseling practice for 7 years. I specialized in relationship counseling. During this time I realized that coaching, writing and teaching were what I really loved to do, s...

What others are saying about this book:
Fun read – found out a few things I was doing wrong – changed my ways and having more success now!
--Amazon Review, Paul R.
Dr. Kelley tells it like it is. I’ve read all of her books on relationships and feel I have grown by leaps and bounds due to her honest, straight, real information. She writes like she is talking to her best friend. All the strategies I’ve used so far that she suggests have worked for me! I feel so much more confident in dating now, and I’m not wasting time with men who are wrong for me. This was worth more than 100 times the cost of the books to me. I highly recommend her books.
--Tanya Murray, San Diego, CA
Lyn Kelley has done a superlative job of explaining why people fail at their relationships and how they can stop this self-sabotage. She explains how to know which men are ‘manageable’ and which men are not. She gives concrete, simple ways to get even the most difficult men to surrender to you. She showed me how I was actually pushing men away from me rather than moving them toward me. I now know what I’ve been doing wrong and am committed to changing myself! I highly recommend this book.
--Michelle Rodriguez, Orlando, FL
"Dear Dr. Lyn,
I just wanted to let you know how amazing and accurate your book is (10 Secrets to Getting Any Man You Want to Want YOU). This book answered all of my questions and I realized what I was doing wrong. Forget women are from Venus and blah blah blah. YOUR BOOK SAYS IT ALL! Thank you."

20 Marriage Tips Every Man Needs to Know
Introduction
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
---Charles Reade
Over the past five years I’ve written 12 relationship books, all of which have been geared toward women. To my surprise, many men have written me asking for a book specifically for them. Men do not normally buy (or read) relationship books. So writing this book is somewhat of an experiment for me. I feel it’s worth the risk because I have always enjoyed working with men on relationship issues. Men seem to especially like my writing style, as I tell it like it is! I hold no punches. No frill or fluff, just the facts. You may not always like what I have to say but I’m telling you my truth. My strategies have proven to work over and over – my convictions have been proven to be true over and over – the majority of the time.
The mistakes men make run the gamut of all their relationships, whether with a friend, a lover, a parent, a sibling, a co-worker, etc. During my 20+ years of experience as a Relationship Counselor and Coach, working with couples and singles, along with my own experience and that of my friends and family, I’ve determined the 10 most common mistakes men make that destroy relationships. I beg of you -- DO NOT GO ON ONE MORE DATE UNTIL YOU’VE READ THIS!
This book is written for men who want a fulfilling, happy, committed relationship with a great woman. It’s not for men who just want to date a lot of women and get laid, although it will help you get that as well. For the purpose of this book I’m going to assume you’re not a bad dick. I spent seven years writing my book, Bad Dick, Good Jane: How to Get Bad Boys to Behave, Fall in Love and Commit. This book is to help women in spotting and handling bad dicks. The majority of my coaching and counseling practice has been with women who seem to fall for the wrong type of men and end up very distraught, over and over. I’m sure you are not one of these bad dicks, but just in case you want to be sure, you can take a look at my book. You need to know, I don’t think there are any bad men, per se. But, there are some men who are bad for relationships. The nine Bad Dicks
I describe in my book are as follows:
Floppy Dick – Commitment phobic, ambivalent
Player Dick – Multiple girlfriends, womanizer, Don Juan Casinova
Rigid Dick – Controlling and abusive
Slick Dick – Lying, cheating, manipulative
Selfish
