The STRENGTH to fight on
To RESPECT yourself

Building Futures Side by Side
The world has transformed, and as a parent, observing how children now connect with peers and families compared to 5-10 years ago is both enlightening and concerning. In an age where AI and platforms like ChatGPT have revolutionised communication, and endless YouTube content, along with technical platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok, have become the norm, the technological advancements bring both wonder and challenges. Even my eleven-year-old now ends conversations with a simple ‘Just search it up.’ The digital era has brought a new way of life, yet it also presents its share of trials. The ability to be still without distractions or sustain concentration for longer than a TikTok video has become quite rare.
This is where I am More steps in. We’re here to provide support in areas children may not fully understand—the essential building blocks of growing up and living a fulfilling life. Our mission is to remind them that there’s a world beyond technology, to embrace their uniqueness, and to help them understand that they are truly enough.
At I am More, we understand the challenges faced by teachers, administrators, and parents in an ever-changing educational landscape. Our collaborative approach seeks to complement their hard work within schools and colleges, offering tailored workshops and mentoring programs for individuals or specific groups. The bespoke nature of our offerings ensures that your students receive precisely what they need. We work hard to ensure our workshops are student led and adapt to our environment and the needs on the day.
What sets I am More apart is our unique approach. With over a decade of personal development experience and successfully running businesses, we’ve learned from the best mentors worldwide. Our aim is to infuse the joy of curiosity and deep thought into learning and growing up. The life skills we impart are not only in high demand today but are also applicable to future careers, relationships, and social and emotional intelligence. We understand that non-judgmental support during times of change is crucial for transformation.
If you didn’t know, I’m Keely, the Founder and a rare Manifestor in the mere 9% of the population, with a special ability to catalyse change. I’m on a mission to spark transformations that go beyond words and bring genuine happiness and harmony to families. As the founder of ‘I am More Academy,’ I extend my vision to schools, igniting young minds through motivational workshops and aspirational mentoring. Being honoured with the Southern Enterprise Awards ‘Most Empowering Youth Development Coach of 2023’ and 2024 is a testament to my commitment to creating authentic impact.
With a relatable approach and a touch of humor, we guide individuals and families through significant transitions and challenges. Whether supporting young people as they navigate adolescence and education, or helping adults re-enter the workforce or explore self-employment, our work builds stronger connections, trust, and communication. Using proven frameworks and a trauma-informed approach, we empower individuals to master identity, relationships, and emotional well-being, creating pathways for lasting growth and resilience.
