Klyn Elsbury was born with cystic fibrosis and given 14 years to live. Today, at 34, she has overcome more than 70 hospitalizations (more than 100,000 hours in wards). Klyn used her 100,000 hours to master Neuro Linguistic Programming, Stress Control and Personal Empowerment, leveraging the lessons she learned from facing life, when, at any moment, she might be just days away from death. Klyn studied worldwide religions, societies and human psychology, condensing what she learned into 3 simple steps anyone can put into practice. She applied this knowledge to her own situation, transcending her circumstances, and now helps leaders and teams overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors resulting in greater ROI. Klyn has two best sellers and a thriving consulting/speaking practice. She earns rave reviews from Vistage Chairs and their members for her workshops. In so doing, she's learned a thing or two about how human beings exceed their wildest expectations, overcome what they think are “insurmountable" obstacles and create new realities for themselves and their loved ones.
