Change is the only constant in leadership today—acquisitions, restructures, cultural clashes, and shifting visions can leave even the best leaders second-guessing themselves. Too often, leaders wait for permission or a clear path forward, only to realize that moment never comes.

​

Kristi Duvall knows the weight of that uncertainty. Rising from sales rep to VP of Sales, she has led through acquisition, built systems to scale companies, and transformed underperforming teams into top performers. Along the way, she discovered that leadership isn’t about titles or force—it’s about resilience, presence, and the courage to keep moving when the path isn’t clear.

​

In this keynote, Kristi shares her SPARK Method™—a practical framework to help leaders:

  • Set a Vision and create clarity even when the roadmap is missing

  • Personal Development and EQ to quiet the inner critic and lead with confidence

  • Adapt with courage through resistance and change

  • Refine executive presence to influence at every level

  • Kindle resilience 

​

If you’re looking for a speaker who blends storytelling, humor, and real-world strategies, Kristi is your choice. She equips audiences not just to envision a bigger future—but to lead their teams through it with clarity and conviction.

​

This keynote is perfect for conferences, leadership summits, ERGs, and organizations navigating uncertainty or cultural change.
