About
Most workplace wellbeing programs focus on stress management, resilience, or self-care. Few address one of the most common—and most overlooked—challenges affecting working parents: sleep. Kelsey brings a unique combination of expertise in behavioral science, pediatric sleep, education, and employee wellbeing to every engagement. Rather than offering generic parenting advice, she helps audiences understand the practical realities of raising children while balancing the demands of work, leadership, and daily life. Organizations choose Kelsey because her presentations are: Evidence-Based: Grounded in behavioral science and current sleep research, with practical recommendations that families can confidently implement. Relevant to Today's Workforce: Designed specifically for working parents and the organizations that support them, connecting family wellbeing to performance, productivity, engagement, and retention. Actionable and Practical: Attendees leave with clear strategies they can begin using immediately—not just information they'll forget by the next day. Engaging and Relatable: Complex topics are translated into accessible, real-world guidance through storytelling, humor, and practical examples. Customized to Your Audience: Whether speaking to an Employee Resource Group, leadership team, HR audience, or company-wide event, Kelsey tailors her content to align with organizational goals and audience needs. The result is a presentation that not only educates, but creates meaningful and lasting impact for employees, families, and organizations alike.
Raising Good Sleepers: Real Guidance for Tired Professional Parents
How did you sleep last night? It’s 2026, and we all know that sleep is a critical component of optimal health, wellness, and performance. Yet when we talk about sleep in the workplace, the focus is always the same: our adult sleep problems. What about when the root cause of sleep issues isn’t us, but our children? Upwards of 50% of young children have significant sleep problems, and when children aren’t sleeping, parents aren’t either. Luckily, chronic sleep deprivation does not have to be a hallmark of parenthood. Sleep is a skill, and skills can be taught. In this program, we will examine sleep as a unique combination of biology and behavior, and share evidence-based, actionable recommendations for how to raise great sleepers, avoid the common sleep pitfalls, and ensure that you get the sleep you need to thrive at work and in life.
Supporting Parents, Boosting Performance: Why Pediatric Sleep Belongs at Work
You’re investing in parental leave, flexible work policies, and wellness programming. But are you overlooking one of the most disruptive, costly, and inequitable issues affecting working parents? Child sleep challenges affect up to 50% of families—and when kids aren’t sleeping, their parents aren’t either. This chronic sleep deprivation leads to reduced productivity, increased burnout, and diminished leadership capacity, especially among high-achieving caregivers. And yet, the sleep struggles tied to parenting are rarely acknowledged in the workplace. This keynote reframes pediatric sleep as a workplace issue with real impact on retention, engagement, and equity. Designed for HR and DEI leaders, it offers compelling data, strategic insight, and practical guidance on how to address this hidden barrier to performance and inclusion. Sleep is a skill—and with the right tools, both children and parents can thrive.
Rest for the Restless: Protecting Your Sleep During Challenging Child Sleep Periods
Parenting is rewarding—but it’s also exhausting, especially during periods when your child’s sleep is disrupted. In this interactive one-hour keynote, participants will learn practical strategies to protect their own rest, even when their child’s sleep is unpredictable. We’ll explore why adult sleep is just as critical as child sleep for wellbeing, productivity, and resilience, and how small, intentional shifts can have a big impact on energy, mood, and focus. Participants will leave with actionable tools, a better understanding of sleep science, and encouragement to prioritize themselves without guilt.
