Program: "Who Not How" with Lisa McClease-Kelly (November 05, 2026)

Who Not How Mindset

Shifting from asking “How can I do this?” to “Who can help me accomplish this?”

Most business owners are used to carrying a heavy load — solving problems, managing responsibilities, and pushing forward on their own.

This hands-on, practical and energizing session introduces the transformative “Who Not How” mindset: shifting from asking “How can I do this?” to “Who can help me accomplish this?”

In this session:

You will learn how to leverage relationships, partnerships, and collective expertise to accelerate progress without burnout.
You will leave with a practical framework for achieving more — not by doing more alone, but by surrounding themselves with the right people

About Lisa:

Lisa McClease-Kelly, fondly known as the “Connection Queen,” has spent more than two decades building businesses—and helping others build theirs—through the power of relationships.

Lisa and her husband, Dave, have owned Kelly’s Automotive Service in Grants Pass and Medford for 22 years, growing it into an award-winning Southern Oregon business. Lisa spent seven years as the Area Director for BNI in Southern Oregon, where she helped launch four chapters and received international recognition for her work. For the past five years, she has owned and led Network In Action Oregon, part of an international mastermind and networking organization connecting business owners and professionals locally, nationally and around the world.

A business coach, speaker and longtime community leader, Lisa has also served twice as President of the Greater Grants Pass Rotary Club and served on nonprofit boards.

At the heart of everything Lisa does is a simple belief: relationships are the key to success—both professionally and personally. She is passionate about helping people move beyond simply “networking” to building genuine connections, creating meaningful collaborations and finding ways to help one another succeed.
