What We Do
From conservation of land and habitat to issues surrounding the preservation of each, from the future of production agriculture to the current state of rural areas, Colleen Callahan Consultancy can help you express the foundational significance of all.
Colleen and Kelsey have farm backgrounds and a University of Illinois degree in Agricultural Communications. Colleen spent eight years as Director of Illinois Rural Development and nearly four years as Director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. And before that, she honed her communication skills reporting and educating about ag and rural issues on WMBD radio and WMBD/WCIA television.
Kelsey is the next generation of communicators with expertise in podcasting, connecting through social media, and bringing people together via her electronic production skills. She has created and hosted four different podcasts and excels in digital media strategy. Kelsey has held previous jobs in academia, non-profit, and private sectors.
Some of our services include...
Leadership Begins with “C”…there’s a difference between management and leadership! Having the responsibility to manage a person, a group or a project does not make you an automatic leader. It simply provides you with a title…manager. Leadership begins when your staff of one or 101 feels confidence in you…and themselves. And that confidence building starts with effective Communication.
Ask any of the over 1000 staff members that Colleen has led, and they will likely tell you about the value of direct communication. That Communicate. Collaborate. Connect. works!
Re-Zoom…is a reunion via Zoom. It’s an electronic “homecoming” of family, friends, travelers, classmates, retirees, sororities or fraternities, any group with whom you’d like to reconnect.
Kelsey is masterful at “producing” the reunion while you are in the comfort of your own abode. She can record upon request to share with those who were not able to “attend.”

Listen to this Audio Album - "Notations from Neta"
I just listened to a copy of your interview with Aunt Neta. That was amazing. She’s an amazing lady, and I really, really enjoyed listening. Made me wish that I had done something like that with my mom or another family member while they were still around. Questions about our family’s past enter my mind all the time and I have nowhere to go for answers because I am the oldest living Ruppert now. What a treasure Aunt Neta. Thank you for doing that.
