Today we’d like to introduce you to Kelli.
Hi Kelli , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As a woman in today’s world, Kelli Dennehey Christina attributes her success to her hard work, education, and determination. With 25 years of specialized medical recruiting and staffing experience and 10 years in restaurant and business management, she is currently the CEO, owner, and director of recruiting for KD-Staffing. Ms. Christina created KD-Staffing on the idea that “recruiting is an art.” She has perfected her skills in this “art” through several managerial and leadership positions since the start of her career; she became a restaurant manager and a boss at nineteen years old. Before she started a career in recruiting, Ms. Christina obtained a bachelor’s degree in business, hotel, and restaurant management from the University of North Texas. With thirty plus years of career experience, her advice to younger generations of women entering the workforce is to remember the importance of education. She also advises them to be strong-willed and to never give up.
Kelli Christina is a best-selling author, public speaker, CEO, and coach current day. Ms. Christina has worked part-time on government projects for ten years. She loves “making a difference” in today’s world. Ms. Christina founded a second business in 2018 called “KDC-Making a Difference, LLC” which is focused on books and public speaking current day.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I am a best-selling author for life story books and here is my newest biography that spells out my newest book “In Good Faith” which is definitely a labeled inspirational testimony book that covers surviving life and rebuilding life through the chapters of the book.
Kelli Christina is a best-selling author and sought-after speaker who transforms personal battles into powerful lessons on leadership, resilience, and integrity. With over 30 years in business—including 25 years as a medical recruiter and staffing executive combined with 10 years in hospitality management—she has built companies, led teams, and stood her ground in the face of corruption. As CEO of KD-Staffing and founder of KDC-Making a Difference, LLC, Kelli has dedicated her career to shaping ethical business practices and empowering professionals to thrive.
Her second book, and bestseller Riding the Executive Roller Coaster: Medical Staffing Cases, established her as a bold voice in her field. Her newest release, In Good Faith: A Whistleblower’s War Against a Broken System, takes readers inside her most challenging battles, revealing both the cost and the courage of speaking truth to power. Based in Dallas, Texas, Kelli brings honesty, passion, and conviction to every stage and interview—making her a compelling guest for podcasts, panels, and conferences alike. Ms. Christina’s newest book “In Good Faith” is out for purchase and the official pub date with the bookstores in July 7th, 2026.
Ms. Christina is not just an author—she’s a force. A CEO who built a national staffing company from the ground up. A whistleblower who stood her ground when the system broke. A speaker who turns boardroom battles and courtroom scars into lessons that matter. Kelli Christina has lived the high stakes of leadership—where one decision can make or break lives, careers, and companies. Her books, Riding the Executive Roller Coaster and In Good Faith, expose the truths most leaders won’t dare to tell. What makes her unforgettable isn’t just her story—it’s her delivery. Dynamic, candid, and unflinching, Kelli connects with audiences who crave honesty and inspiration in a world full of spin. When she speaks, she doesn’t just share insights. She challenges, ignites, and leaves listeners rethinking what it means to lead with courage.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I have produced a new plan and legacy with my newest book project “In Good Faith” and it is coming to the bookstores in July,2026. I decided it is time to make a stronger impact on this country. I sat down and asked myself “how can KDC-Making A Difference, LLC” make an impact the next couple of years? I am a small company owner that has endured serious company damages backdated to the pandemic year. But at some point, I believe that an individual must pull out excuses and create new affective plans to move forward. I want my newest book project to support a worthy charity and help the homeless and underprivileged.
I am a female that carries an exceptionally large network of people with opinions, thoughts, ideas and concerns towards current day news and trends. I often worry about people, and I ask myself “how are we doing as one big group or extended family out there in our communities?” How many people have forgotten ideas towards “making a difference” through difficult, cruel, and tough times called life? Every person alive can make a big or a small difference to other people’s lives. For those that cannot offer money for others through charity and donations, service work is free of charge. Service work requires giving your time and efforts towards other’s behalf and it is giving to other people.
Help KDC-Making a Difference, LLC contribute to a worthy cause and donations for the next upcoming years. My newest book “In Good Faith: A Whistleblower’s War Against a Broken System” is more than a launch; it is a call for courage, accountability, and change. A portion of all proceeds will support Habitat for Humanity and KDC-Making a Difference, LLC, so your purchase helps extend the impact beyond the page. There are stickers in every copy of the book.
Please order now at any bookstore and consider sharing the title with friends, colleagues, or book clubs who care about truth, justice, and meaningful community support.
In 2025, Morgan James publishing would pick me up as a best-selling author so that we could transition my book “In Good Faith: A Whistleblower’s War Against a Broken System” into larger distribution and bookstores. Morgan James publishing participates and donates with “Habitat for Humanity” and that is a wonderful start with my own book project. I would expect more ideas coming and one step at a time. I look forward to this book’s success and high sales, I would like to share the profits with those that still need help.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
My own author quote in life “When people fail us, God can still lift us up.”
My book “in Good Faith” walks through a season when I became homeless and was forced onto a path I never expected. The very people I thought would stand beside me turned away, yet strangers appeared at the strangest times with help that felt sent from above.
Through these chapters, I share more than hardship. I share the quiet evidence of grace, the surprise of compassion, and the reminder that abandonment by people is never the end of the story when God is still present.
“In Good Faith: A Whistleblower’s War Against A Broken System” is a gripping journey through the highest and lowest moments of life, told through the lens of courage, truth, and the personal cost of standing up against a broken system.
This story is built for readers who are drawn to real stakes, moral conflict, and resilience under pressure. It brings together the tension of a whistleblower’s fight with the emotional weight of survival, making it both timely and deeply human.
