Life Is Not a Treadmill

I know what the corporate treadmill looks, feels, and sounds like. I used to replace my shoes rather than reduce the speed. I woke up every day feeling overwhelmed, not knowing how to change from always-busy to productive. Ten years ago, I jumped off the treadmill and was able to take deep gulps of oxygen. Since then, I used my journalism skills to dig into insights, ideas, and research to develop daily habits for a deeper life. I’ve also consulted with dozens of leading companies and global organizations on how to upgrade culture and amplify talent.

And then, Covid changed the world.

I left my corporate work and dove further into how to navigate this noisy, digital, exhausted world. The result is a methodology centered on communications, productivity, and culture that blends theory with practice and helps people better enjoy the life they worked so hard to get.

Over the past decade, we have had the pleasure of working with and learning from Kristin Graham. Her participation in industry events and her leadership at her tenured career at both Expedia and Amazon have given her a wealth of experience and knowledge to draw upon. Kristin embodies the spirit of 'growth mindset' that we value so much at Microsoft.

I’ve had the pleasure of watching Kristin teach and inspire thousands of people at Amazon and Stanley Black & Decker. Kristin is especially adept at quickly earning trust and leading through smart-yet-practical ways to deliver crisp, compelling messages. She helps people see past the pursuit of perfection and embrace how to let ideas and skills grow.

Kristin brings high energy, deep experience, and wicked intelligence to the conversation on compelling communication and productivity. While wildly entertaining, she provides practical tips to leaders who, like all of us, are struggling to find ways to expand time and
be our best selves.

I’ve had the pleasure and honor of working with Kristin on many fronts. She is one of our most highly rated speakers at Ragan conferences, offering dynamic and informative presentations that over-deliver on the promise. She’s clever, informative, and original. She also led a workshop with the internal Ragan team that helped us all be more productive and successful at work and beyond.

Your ongoing impact of instilling phenomenal knowledge in the areas of elevated productivity, skilled communication, effective writing (and more) make a daily impact in the work of my team and so many more. Thank you for making learning fun and for sharing your ability to make any content relatable, understandable, and beneficial!
