Drawing on her extensive HR experience and personal transformation journey, Kristina empowers attendees to embrace their unique leadership style, trust their inner compass, and boldly step into the future of HR with confidence and clarity.

Attendees will:

  • Discover the five pillars of the SHIFT Model and how they apply to personal and professional growth.
  • Understand the power of authentic leadership and how to embody it early in their HR career.
  • Gain tools to develop emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience in the workplace
  • Learn how to navigate change with confidence while staying grounded in their values and purpose.
