Awakening audiences to what remains within.

As a sought-after keynote speaker, leadership luminary, and breaker of icons, I bring new thinking to the challenge of staying engaged in the world regardless of age, gender, or experience.

My talks awaken people and organizations to what remains within, what is still possible and how to break the definitions that no longer serve.

"She is always my closer"

“If you are a planner or event producer, you know what I mean when I say “closer.” Having produced countless events featuring Kristina DiPalo, she is always my closer. Her ability to own the stage and her powerful material while also bringing it all together for a powerful finish to an event is remarkable. Her talks on breaking icons and becoming an iconoclast are tactical and inspiring. We need to be reminded of our relevance and Kristina always delivers.”
