Meet Kristi

I built a successful career by leading through chaos.
Now I help leaders find their voice — and use it to lead what’s next.

Hi, I’m Kristi Duvall — executive coach, speaker, and creator of the SPARK Method™.

For over 25 years, I worked in corporate — from high-performing sales rep to Vice President of Sales in the packaging and print industry. I led through burnout, reorgs, acquisitions, and the silent weight of being the one everyone relied on.

But here’s what most people didn’t see:

I was also the one holding my breath in meetings, wondering if I was saying too much or not enough.
I was waiting — for permission, for recognition, for someone to say, "You're ready."

And then I stopped waiting.

I got a coach.
I found my voice.
I took the leap.

Now, I coach leaders who are at their own edge — ready to step into their power and lead with confidence, presence, and purpose.

 WHO I WORK WITH

I coach high-achieving, high-capacity professionals — people who are relied on, respected, and often quietly overwhelmed.

Most are navigating:

• Leadership transitions or team growth

• Burnout and misalignment

• High-stakes decisions

• Post-acquisition or cultural shifts

• Or simply the gut-level question: "Is this it?"

Whether you're stepping into a bigger role or stepping back to realign, I’ll help you reconnect with the leader you're becoming.

HOW I HELP

My clients describe our work as “transformational” — not because I fix them, but because I create the space where they finally stop fixing themselves.

Using my proprietary SPARK Method™, I guide leaders to:

• Set a vision that excites and aligns

• Prioritize emotional intelligence and executive presence

• Adapt their leadership style for greater influence

• Refine their voice and speak with clarity

• Kindle resilience so they can lead through the hard parts

It’s structured. It’s strategic.
And it’s deeply personal.

CREDIBILITY + SPEAKING

• 25+ years in corporate (10+ in management and executive roles)

Whether I’m coaching one-on-one or speaking on stage, I bring real-world experience and unwavering support to help leaders lead with conviction.

If you’ve been holding it all together…
If you’re asking yourself what’s next…
If you’re ready to speak up, step forward, or finally breathe again—

Let’s talk.

You don’t have to lead alone.
