Changing a career path or starting a new business is not an easy thing to do, but Shelley Keyes is here to help.

Keyes owns and operates SK Transitions, a consulting company that helps people manage life changes.

She says changing your career or life path can be a daunting process, but it can also lead you in exciting new directions at the same time.

“I spend lots of time talking with people, and not talking, listening with people about looking to create meaning and fulfillment in their life,” she says. “And when you do that, sometimes it takes you in business avenues, sometimes it doesn’t. And for me, following that passion I had led to a business.  It’s kind of hard to believe.”

Keyes was the featured speaker Wednesday morning at the one-day Métis Women and Youth Business Conference in Saskatoon.

Anne-Marie Cey of Snap Fitness and Vicki Newmeyer of Eventful Productions were the keynote speakers in the afternoon.
