Speaking

Audience: Parents of 16 to 28-year-olds

This phrase kills a young teen’s future happiness faster than you can download the movie Office Space - ‘Teens can’t figure out what they want to do for a career at this age, nobody can.’ Well, guess what, we didn’t think cars could drive themselves either. If you don’t try, the answer is always no. Let’s start saying YES!

Kristin will show you how we are preparing our teens for careers and college backward. She brings this to life through stories of how regular kids got excited about listening and trusting themselves to create a happy life. The cool part is they are creating their own career paths and moving forward with confidence.

Your kid is freaking amazing so let’s start getting them excited about creating their own story too!

Audience: High School Administrators, Counselors, Teachers, Mental Health Professionals and other groups that work with teens

What does it truly mean to be college-ready? For decades we’ve been preparing teens for college yet 30% of them are quitting before they hit their sophomore year. If that effort was being graded, it equals a big fat ‘C’.

In the meantime, resources advocating for our teens are getting crushed between government rhetoric and parent beliefs regarding their kids’ success.

Kristin provides an in-depth, fast-paced view of how we are falsely teaching our kids that college is the only way to success and that we are preparing them for life after high school backward. Believe it or not, teens can think on their own, believe in themselves, and create a career they can love.

Leaders at all levels will leave with thought-provoking and practical ways to pour strength and confidence into our teens so they can create a happy life.

Audience: Adults who would like to improve their career happiness, HR professionals, Companies, Government Agencies, Professional Organizations, Small Business Organizations, and any organization with employees.
