THE WORLD IS GETTING SMARTER. YOUR HUMANS NEED TO GET BETTER AT USING WHAT MAKES THEM HUMAN.
People are being hit with more signals, information, change, opinions, data, and uncertainty than ever before. The fear and overwhelm are real, and intelligent technology is only going to become a bigger part of how we work and live.
Waiting for everything to settle down isn’t a strategy.
Kristen’s work helps people tap into the distinctly human capabilities no technology should replace: judgment, instinct, curiosity, creativity, connection, experience, perspective, and the ability to think for ourselves.
Through the Human Opportunity Map™, people learn to:
1
DECODE THE SIGNALS. Notice what's shifting and make sense of the information, patterns, behaviors, and possibilities coming at you.
2
DECIDE WHAT MATTERS. Combine intelligent technology and data with human judgment, intuition, experience, and perspective.
3
DRIVE WHAT'S NEXT. Turn insight into direction, action, opportunity, and momentum.
Because intelligent technology will keep getting smarter. So humans need to get even better at using what makes them human.

Speaking Style
- HIGHLY INTERACTIVE with fun and relevant audience participation to drive engagement and retention. I ensure all personality types, neurodivergent minds, and diverse demographics are honored and respected.
- FUNNY AND HIGH-ENERGY to keep the audience laughing and learning. I've had standup comedy and improv training to ensure I bring the laughter and fun to my sessions.
- RESEARCH-BACKED ideas to ensure credibility and audience buy-in. My Master's in Integral Theory, B.S. in Business, and Certificates in Integrative Wellness and several holistic modalities ensure I am studying the whole human, not just the worker.
- ACTIONABLE HUMAN HACKS means we are putting ideas into action right there in the room like Opportunity Mapping, Mission Statement Creation, assessment integration, and more gamified and results-based tools for growth.
- INSPIRING STORIES from my personal experiences as a widowed mom, caregiver, traveler, business owner, farm to city girl, and the school of life bring relevance, resilience, and relatability that will MOTIVATE YOUR AUDIENCE TO LAUGH, THINK, GROW, AND TAKE ACTION!
