From Layoff to Thought Leadership: Vision and Authority with Kelly Schuknecht | Session 1

Kelly's vision is to help entrepreneurs and professionals move from being the “best-kept secret” to recognized thought leaders by owning their value, building visibility and credibility, and becoming known for their expertise.

Kelly Schuknecht

Kelly is the founder of Two Mile High Marketing, a thought leadership agency dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and business owners become recognized authorities in their industries. With over 20 years of experience in marketing, she has worked closely behind the scenes with CEOs and leaders, helping them grow their businesses and bring their visions to life. Today, she leverages that experience to position her clients in front of the right audiences, building their visibility, credibility, and long-term influence.

After being laid off in 2024, Kelly made the bold decision to bet on herself and launch her own business, quickly gaining traction and scaling toward seven figures within its first year. Her work is rooted in her signature “Authority X-Factor” framework, which helps professionals identify their unique value and bridge the gap between being an expert and being recognized as one. She is also the author of Unlocking Your Authority X-Factor, where she outlines her three-pillar approach: visibility, credibility, and consistency.

In addition to her agency, Kelly hosts two podcasts, Beyond the Bestseller, featuring female nonfiction authors, and The Authority X-Factor, where she interviews thought leaders across industries. Through her content, speaking, and client work, she is passionate about helping individuals overcome imposter syndrome, step into their authority, and amplify their voice to create meaningful impact.
