03 / THE RELEVANCE FILTER
One method.
Three considered decisions.
A message works when the people listening
can see what it means for them.
I developed The Relevance Filter to help professionals make three decisions.
- 01What to say
- 02How to structure it
- 03How to express it
We begin with your audience, purpose, and context. We select the message, put the ideas in a useful order, and choose words and delivery that help people understand.
Your ideas. Their perspective.“Today I’ll take you through our project, the methodology, and the next steps.”
“By the end of this session, you’ll know which option we recommend, why, and what we need from you to move forward.”
Give people a reason to listen before you give them the agenda.

04 / ABOUT KELLIE
Ideas worth sharing.
Words chosen with care.
I help international professionals turn their ideas into clear, compelling messages that their audiences understand, remember, and act on.
I use The Relevance Filter, a three-step method I developed for determining what to say, how to structure it, and how to express it. My work is informed by:
- 5+ years working with diplomats and senior professionals whose words shape relationships, cooperation, and institutional credibility
- A B.A. and M.A. in Political Science and International Relations
- A CELTA certification
- Insights into how framing shapes perceptions and emotions
Current services include Speaker Training through The Big Talk Prep™, editing through Strategic Message Refinement, and communication training through Executive & Diplomatic English.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Kellie when taking my Business English classes. She’s a terrific teacher. Her lessons were interesting, challenging and created and [taught] with a great sense of humor. But beyond the important work of being a fine teacher, I found her to be an extraordinary learner, someone who is at [her] core trying to understand the way things work, and why. This central sense of inquiry is what sets Kellie apart, and makes her someone upon whom nothing is lost. She is one who listens and incorporates what she hears into her own work. I am happy to endorse her in every way I can.”
“She is a true professional and inspiring teacher.”

“I am grateful for my time and English classes with Kellie. What can I say about her? She is a true professional and inspiring teacher. She motivated me to prepare for each lesson despite my crazy work/life schedule. I am sure she one of the biggest assets for your team. She gave her 110% to make our classes effective and was flexible to adjust our curriculum in the process to ensure it met and exceeded my learning goals and expectations. I could see improvement results very quickly.”

“I could tell you about my life before Kellie and my life after Kellie’s English classes. I was afraid to speak in English and couldn’t understand people when talking in English. It was very embarassing. Since our first class, Kellie perfectly understood my needs, my style to learn and broke all my insecurities. Learning a second language is a process, but with Kellie it is fun, you learn fast and like it. I love her, she changed my life completely. Now I’m more confident and I can speak English with anyone.
Kellie is an incredible, creative, lovely and generous teach who is passionate about her work. Thank you Kellie with all my heart.”
“She has a rare gift: making you sound more like yourself, across any language, and sharper for it.”

A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS
Before we
begin.
Do I need a finished draft?
For a material review, bring an existing draft. For live speaker training, bring the occasion, audience, and the ideas you want to communicate. We agree what material is needed before starting; a finished script is not always required.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. The individual packages and workshops can be delivered online via Zoom. I’m based in Berlin and work with international professionals. We agree suitable session times before booking.
What happens when I enquire?
Tell me the occasion, date, audience, and what you already have. I’ll recommend a suitable option and confirm the scope, available times, final payable fee, and terms. For Standard or Mastery, we agree scope and dates before you purchase in the shop. For a VIP day or presentation and speech creation, I send an individual proposal.
Can an organization book support?
Yes. Organizations, event teams, and professional communities can enquire about individual speaker preparation or a private workshop. We agree who the support is for, what’s included, and the payment arrangements before confirming.
Is this English tuition or speaker training?
The packages above work on your message, structure, and delivery for one real occasion. I also offer Executive & Diplomatic English and message refinement. Tell me what you need and we’ll choose an appropriate scope.
