Bold Truth. Practical Strategy. Rooted Leadership.

If you're planning a team retreat, company-wide meeting, or leadership summit and need a speaker who won't just inspire but ignite action, you’re in the right place.

Kerri M. Roberts is not your average keynote. She brings truth with grit, strategy with clarity, and leadership that's grounded in faith, integrity, and results.

As the founder and CEO of Salt & Light Advisors, host of the Don’t Waste the Chaos podcast, and author of the HR Easy Button book series, Kerri has helped leaders across the country cut through the noise, reconnect with purpose, and build teams that actually work.

She’s trained leaders across industries, consulted with multi-million dollar businesses, and spoken to rooms full of executives, entrepreneurs, and women at a crossroads - always with one goal: to move them from stuck to strategic.

Your team doesn’t need another motivational talk.
They need real conversations, raw truth, and results-driven tools. That’s exactly what Kerri delivers.
