About the Speaker

Kerry Chaffin’s nearly 30-year professional career is similar to the textiles she studied at Kansas State University. From her work with complex organizations ranging from the Disney Store to the City of Los Angeles to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Chaffin has created a one-of-a-kind fabric, an intertwining of experiences and knowledge she now brings to her audiences.

After a stint in high-end retail revealed to her that the clothing industry wasn’t for her, Chaffin solved her next-step dilemma by following her natural curiosity into the corporate world. She learned business from the ground floor up at the Disney Store, while helping open the Overland Park, KS, store and then working for them while she earned an MBA from the University of Kansas (MBA ’93).
In 1993 Chaffin entered the corporate training world, where her desire to bring solutions to businesses and other organizations had room to fully develop. “My true passion is working with clients to analyze and identify their needs and to find workable solutions to solve skill gaps. I get most excited when I can help design a unique solution to meet a very specific problem.”
Chaffin’s training expertise and interest have no boundaries. She has designed training around technical and specialized needs, as well as soft skills such as business writing and customer service. One of her favorite custom projects was working with the University of Notre Dame to enhance customer service skills across the vast campus and employee population.
